After years of struggling with anxiety related to my quest for perfection, I casually joked with my therapist "maybe I'll try hypnosis". She said "that's a great idea, actually... there's a lot of scientific evidence of it's effectiveness." I didn't know much about hypnosis and honestly still don't, except that it works. I didn't know anyone personally who had tried it and didn't realize that it was truly effective and so easy. I poked around online and liked what I saw on the Goodwin Hypnosis website, so I made an appointment. I worked with Todd and immediately felt at ease with him. He has an innate ability to understand your issues without having to go deep into them. He saw the web of connection amongst my struggles and acutely got to the root to "pluck it out" to "neutralize" or to "eliminate" the things that I've worked so hard on for so long with talk therapy. Honestly, it felt too easy to be true. It felt like I was cheating the system to not have to work so hard consciously to eliminate or neutralize the things that have been bothering me (and others- LOL) for so long. I did the work each day, I met with Todd each week, I did the readings, listened to the videos, practiced the techniques that Todd taught me. I noticed change happening within. My co-workers and my husband noticed change. It was working and I enjoyed it. The final evidence came on my last call with Todd, when we were going over the list that I originally came up with for how I would know if the hypnosis worked or not. My husband joined our conversation and when we discussed each point to address my progress on it, my husband was in adamant agreement that each concern had been resolved and was better, much better. I'm not saying that I'm totally cured of my quest to have things "just right" and that I don't ever get anxious anymore, but it's MUCH, MUCH better. And I have tools to use and the recordings to keep listening to when I need a refresher. I highly believe in hypnosis now and have recommended it to a close friend who has major trauma issues that continue to give her regular nightmares and PTSD responses. I am excited for her and am confident that she will make major progress in quick time. If you're on the fence about hypnosis and you've struggled for years, or not made the progress you wanted with traditional therapy, I would say "go for it!" It's not cheap, but that's because you've got years worth of talk therapy progress concentrated into a couple of months with hypnosis... and I believe you will see better results. 5 stars! If I could give more, I would! Added bonus: Todd is funny and easy to talk to. - Kim Plantan, 5 stars

Todd's unhurried, warm and professional approach to getting to and addressing root causes of self doubt is extraordinary. Knowing that self analysis is mired in bias, Todd's approach to improving mental balance is collaborative and inviting. Through Todd, I was able to break patterns of thinking that I could not have made the changes alone. He works quickly to establish trust, then ease, and then the work begins. Additionally, he uses a robust set of conversational tools and mechanics to address your personal situation. And incredibly, you'll walk away from the experience open, grounded and inspired. This was done entirely over Zoom, by the way, roughly 8 weeks. People ask me if it was worth the time/money. Hands down. Any one can benefit from these style of discussions. - Mark Holden, 5 stars

I reached out to Goodwin Hypnosis to address several long-standing personal challenges, including stress, anxiety, overthinking, and maintaining healthy boundaries. After researching Goodwin Hypnosis and reading the many positive reviews, I felt confident it would be a good fit. Following my initial consultation with Todd, I was reassured that I had made the right decision. Several months later, I continue to be impressed by the results and am seeing meaningful, lasting changes reflected in my everyday life. - V Z, 5 stars

I came to Todd because I was dealing with severe performance anxiety that showed up both at work and on the golf course. As I started climbing the corporate ladder and found myself in a senior position at a young age, I often felt overwhelmed when meeting or presenting to people I saw as much more experienced. That anxiety even began to affect my golf game, leading to the yips and taking all the fun out of playing. After working with Todd, I’ve become much more confident in the boardroom - and the yips are gone on the course. I’m genuinely enjoying the game again and feeling more at ease professionally and personally. Beyond the progress, Todd makes the process enjoyable. He integrates humor and warmth into his sessions, and we often found ourselves laughing as we worked through challenges. I’m so thankful for the impact Todd has had on both my career and my life. - Isaac, 5 stars

Gina has been unbelievable and a pleasure to work with throughout this process. She has helped me unpack so much from my childhood and throughout my life up to this point. She has been thoughtful and supportive and I couldn’t be more grateful for her guidance. Anyone who is teetering on the fence on whether to give this a shot…do yourself a favor and just take the leap. Trust me you won’t regret it. - Pj Russell, 5 stars
