Meet Catherine Coleman, CCHt

I am Catherine Coleman, a Certified Clinical Hypnotherapist, coach, educator, author, and  Associate Instructor at HMI College of Hypnotherapy.

I help clients address vocational and avocational concerns, including stress management, habit change, emotional patterns, confidence, sleep, academic and professional goals, and personal growth. Depending on your goals, sessions may include hypnotherapy, coaching, EFT, and guided imagery. Each session is tailored to you and the patterns you want to change. 

My training in mind-body psychology informs how I understand the relationship among thoughts, emotions, behavior, and physical responses. I also draw on concepts from neuroscience related to attention, learning, memory, behavior, and change. Many habits and emotional responses are not easily changed through willpower alone. My background in education, academic coaching, and English coaching also supports clients working toward school and work goals. 

The journey to becoming a hypnotherapist was not linear for me. I grew up in a small town in Oklahoma, volunteered with healthcare professionals in Mexico, and dedicated much of my career to education, language, and student support in California.

After experiencing profound personal loss during the pandemic, I discovered HMI College of Hypnotherapy.  Hypnotherapy brought together many of my longstanding interests: teaching, language, the mind and body, and how people learn and change.  

With patience, practicality, compassion, and a deep respect for your unique experiences, I meet you where you are. Change requires participation and a willingness to practice new ways of responding, and it is not always easy. Together, we will work toward the goals that matter to you.
