Circle One

I worked with Penny at Circle One. She helped me in so many ways. I have grown from my experience and recommend highly!!!

I trust and believe in hypnotherapy because of my experiences with Penny.
After a very difficult breakup I knew it would take more than just myself to understand the root of my own faults and shortcomings. Talk psychotherapy just didn’t seem to cut it. I met with penny and we began to work and I began to see improvements and it was amazing, hypnotherapy is by no means something that is a magic fix and it took me more than one time. It was unexplainable how my sense of self improved as we worked through deep deep rooted issues and fears of mine.
Penny is honest and supportive and really made me feel comfortable in opening up and allowing the power of hypnotherapy in.
Like anything where we open ourselves up to being vulnerable to another this was no different. I can honestly say that in the deepest sense of myself I feel acceptance and that is something no other type of therapy has helped me feel
Thank you Penny. Thank you.

I actually bought a Living Social deal for one session with Circle One in 2012… maybe 2011. They have a list on their website suggesting things you could benefit through via hypnotherapy – things like habit control, career, weight management, learning, etc. A majority of the list is very intriguing, and so I decided to purchase the deal to try them out. If it was worth it, I would continue on. If not, then obviously I would look elsewhere.
I unfortunately can’t speak for Circle One’s therapeutic skills because I never even made it to their doorstep due to poor communication! I don’t know if they were just flocking with business at the time or what, but I had to constantly reach out to two different people. Why two? Because one kept telling me to call the other, but the other wouldn’t pick up or return my phone calls!
I was very disappointed to spend the money I did on this deal. Albeit the deal I spent on was $ 40 (I think real therapy costs more on average)…I could’ve spent that on a high-​end dinner and it would’ve been more satisfactory than this.
If you are a regular or have had a session with Circle One and are happy with them, then good. But if you’re looking around, I would advise you look at as many options as you can – whether or not this place ends up being good for you. Finding a good therapist that fits YOU is important, anyway… can’t just go with any.

I was really let down by this. A couple months ago I wanted to experiment with hypnotherapy to stop smoking. Penny had called me when I signed on for the Amazon Local Deals or Groupon, or whichever service I used to stumble upon her. She asked me to fill out a questionnaire specifically to avoid wasting our time describing the problem and more time fixing the problem while in session. I spent a lot of time on it.
When I came in, she almost immediately said one session wasn’t going to cover what we needed to get done and that she’d recommend me signing up for several more classes on the spot. I say «let’s wait and see how this goes.»
She then apologizes for not reading my packet and proceeds to read it in front of me! I got so incredibly pissed off and let down at the same time. Like I just got suckered into this and that she doesn’t take this job seriously. Not to mention, the hours I spent on the packet truly analyzing and dissecting the faults I wanted to improve about myself.
We begin the hypno-​therapy session. Maybe I’m just not susceptible to it, but I was very much awake and present the whole time, even though I went along with whatever she suggested: «when I snap my fingers you’ll do this. Raise your arm slowly til it touches whatever…» I felt more and more that I had been had.
Immediately when the session is over, she starts trying the sell me hard on more sessions. Unfortunately, the first one was so bad, I ran out of there. She’s a very nice person, but unfortunately, that doesn’t make her services functional. I really wish I had better things to say.
