How Hypnotherapy Works
​This is not talk therapy. ​​
​
Working with the natural yet altered state of mind called hypnosis,
we can work directly with your sub-intellectual mind, the root system that is creating your issues.
At this level of mind, getting the lasting transformation you want can happen quickly and easily.​
​
You can live a happy, healthy life that you love.
Your Mind is Like This Tree
​
-
The roots are your subconscious—deep, powerful, and creating everything above.
-
The branches and leaves are your conscious thought patterns, and your sense of identity.
-
The apples are your behaviors, reactions, responses and choices.
Traditional talk therapy examines the apples and prunes the branches. But when the roots stay the same, the fruit doesn’t change.
​
McLean Hypnotherapy works at the root level. When you transform your subconscious with us, the whole tree flourishes—stronger, happier, and naturally producing the life you want.
​
Healthier roots. Sweeter fruit. Real change.

Your Hypnotherapist
Cassandra McLean, CCHt.
I always wanted to live and thrive in harmony with peace and love... Who doesn't want peace? But... I was faking it.
Sure, sometimes I felt truly joyful and "in the flow..." but deep down I was suffering: a victim of my own mind, trapped in negative thought-loops and self-sabotaging behaviors; burdened by unresolved trauma, old grudges and grievances; and sick with a gut that couldn't digest.
Then in 2023, divorce left me devastated.
I prayed for a miracle, anything to save me from the dark depression that had begun to suck me in...
...and that's when I discovered hypnotherapy.
With hypnotherapy & meditation I rapidly gained control of my mind and completely transformed myself and my life. ​​
Determined to master these skills, I trained directly under the monastic, master hypnotherapist, Matthew Brownstein, founder of The Institute of Interpersonal Hypnotherapy, Florida's first & only state-licensed school of hypnotherapy. ​​
It is my honor and my calling to teach you how you, too, can master your mind and create for yourself a life of excellent mental, emotional and physical health; to thrive within a landscape of inner peace, self-respect, beautiful relationships, prosperity, love, integrity and success..

Our Clients Say
It's amazing how much of a difference just one session of hypnotherapy with Cassandra made for me! I am a cult survivor who is diagnosed with PTSD, chronic anxiety and BPD and I have received years of conventional therapy. While it did help to get things off my chest, I experienced ongoing struggles with my mental health and the medications never worked for me, so I knew I had to try something different. After my first session with Cassandra, I felt real hope for the first time that I may be able to feel whole again. I knew that we had done some very deep healing work because I FELT IT. With her adept application of Parts Therapy, Cassandra guided me through a profound process of integrating my fractured psyche. She was very patient with me and made me feel comfortable being vulnerable and letting my emotions flow (this does NOT come naturally for me lol). I am so thankful that I found Cassandra and I would recommend her sessions to anyone who is in need of deep emotional healing and repair.
