Alex Negrete — Local services in Austin

I had no previous experience with hypnosis. I wasn’t even thinking it would really help. I had so many stressors in my life over the past few years that the source of my extremely high anxiety I was now encountering daily, was sending me back to bed after breakfast. I have a medical job that doesn’t support being on any type of anxiety medication. I was having to use naturopathic remedies to only get slight relief. I also hadn’t had any luck getting more than a few hours of sleep on any given night, for several years.

Alex Negrete spent a lot of time, even before my appointment, explaining to me how everything worked and his pricing. I had called another therapist and they wanted me to do therapy over 8 sessions. Alex, was one session. This made more sense to me because I wasn’t sure how this would work but not believing I could accomplish what was needed in multiple 40 minute sessions. Now, I am not saying that multiple 40 minute sessions won’t work, but I just wasn’t convinced.

Alex Negrete made the whole experience very comfortable. Also, my initial appointment went nearly 4 hours instead of the scheduled 2. The next appointment went for nearly 8 hours instead of 6. Alex Negrete has the goal to truly help people so he never cut it off just because time was up, nor did he increase the rate because it went over.

After the appointment, the next morning, there were no more symptoms of the out of control anxiety. Also, most nights now, I sleep about 6-9 hours and for the first time in years, I am resting appropriately and I feel a whole lot better overall and my health is continuing to improve.

Alex Negrete called with a follow-up phone session so that when I do a follow-up hypnotherapy appointment, he can see where else he can help me. I still don’t know how or why this helped, but I am a true believer in this therapy. I have been in traditional counseling for years but this therapy, moved mountains. It moved the Himalayas in just a few short hours.

I remember the entire session and felt very aware of everything. Alex Negrete also video recorded and transcribed it for me. The hypnotherapy was self-led and it was strange to learn what my mind brought up In life events. I told Alex Negrete that I remembered all the events. The hypnotherapy, for me, got me to learn everyone’s emotions during past events. Like the birth of my second born child came to light and I could see how I felt and how everyone was and what really happened and how much it really hurt me, although the birth and my child were completely fine and healthy. Without the hypnotherapy, I would have never uncovered this. As the session progressed, I was even taken to the emotional awkwardness during my high-school graduation with both of my parents, who were still angry and bitter over their divorce, acted towards each other, while smiling and waving at me. These things I would have never discovered in traditional counseling or on my own. I even tried it when I got home thinking, I can do this. No, it doesn’t work that way.

Alex Negrete is truly compassionate about this therapy and his work and is extremely detail oriented. He is an active listener along with being a thorough explainer. This was truly amazing for me and I found him just with a google search.

My friend had suggested hypnosis because she had been to a show once and said that this guy hypnotized people on stage and got them to do funny things. Well, after the show, he took each one of them and hypnotized them to help them with their own personal struggles. That is why I looked it up to see. I never knew this was a therapy option.

Alex Negrete is absolutely amazing! Give him a call. He will be able to help you and you just have to allow yourself to believe in the process and allow it to happen. It works!

I will be using him again, although, do know that he hasn’t suggested more therapy. I am opting for it because I have had a whole...

Hypnotherapy Is Real – Just Not What You See on TV

I’m going to start this review by saying: hypnosis therapy is real—but it’s not what you see on TV.

Before my first session, I heard so many scary things from friends and family—like my mind would be controlled or I’d end up quacking like a duck. I’m here to tell you: this is completely false.

When I first saw Alex, I was emotionally and mentally blocked. I had done a ton of research on hypnotherapy because I was nervous and wanted to know exactly what to expect—but I couldn’t find anything helpful or real. So, I hope my experience helps you decide if hypnotherapy is right for you.

What Actually Happens:

Alex starts by getting to know you. We talked briefly about what I was going through. Then I got comfortable, put on a soft face mask (like a sleep mask), and simply followed his calm, simple instructions. He asked me to relax, focus on my breathing, and imagine a peaceful place. I described to him what I was visualizing—and from there, he gently asked questions and we talked about what I was seeing.

I can’t express the tears I cried and the genuine laughs I had during that session. Everything I imagined felt so real and emotional. But most importantly: I was 100% aware of my surroundings. I could have stopped at any time.

After the session, we talked more about what I had visualized, and I left feeling so much lighter than when I arrived.

I’ve been in traditional therapy, where it takes weeks or months to hit a breakthrough. That’s time and money I don’t always have. But in just one session with Alex, I felt more clear, relieved, and emotionally open than I ever had before.

If you want to get to the root of what you're going through without spending months in therapy, this is the way to go.

Also: Do your research on Alex. I did! I looked up everything I could about him before my appointment because I was scared after hearing so many myths about hypnotherapy. I’m so glad I went—and now my family is too.

Thank you, Alex, for being there for me when I...

This was the key that unlocked the door to my dream! I have tried all sorts of therapy and spent thousands trying to fix myself and life. I almost gave up. I decided to go with Austin Hypnotherapy to really get to the root of my challenges. After 5 weeks of hypnosis sessions, things really started to change, and I must admit my whole world turned 180 degrees. It was hard to accept change for me but now after a few more months I can officially say I am finally on the path I always dreamed of being on. I had a complete career change, stopped chain smoking cigarettes, ended my alcoholism, and found out who I really am. Now I am doing what I love for work, people notice how healthy I am now that I stopped smoking and drinking excessively, and I even have found much more peace in my love life. It took me awhile to finally write this review because the work done with Austin Hypnotherapy is truly life changing, and just kept getting better and better. Now that I am well on my way in this miraculous paradigm shift, I feel confident I can recommend this therapy. My life is just how I dreamed of now, and makes me truly feel fulfilled. I am eternally grateful for this work being done, and I can now enjoy life like I’ve never before. Thank you Austin Hypnotherapy, and anyone who is looking for a real, core change for the better I recommend this. Thank you Alex, you have done what I thought was impossible at the moment I had...
