About Texas Hypnosis Center

Since 2009, we have been helping thousands of Texans transform their lives through the power of certified clinical hypnotherapy. Learn about our team, our mission, and our evidence-based approach.

Our Story

Texas Hypnosis Center was founded in 2009 by Dr. Rebecca Thornton, a board-certified clinical hypnotherapist with a vision to bring evidence-based hypnotherapy to the people of Texas. After witnessing the transformative power of clinical hypnosis during her doctoral studies in psychology, Dr. Thornton dedicated her career to making this powerful therapeutic tool accessible, professional, and results-driven.

What started as a small practice in Austin has grown into one of Texas's most respected hypnotherapy centers, with a team of five certified clinical hypnotherapists who have collectively helped more than 5,000 clients achieve their goals. Our center occupies a serene, purpose-built suite in the Westbank district, designed to provide a calm, welcoming environment that supports the therapeutic process.

We are proud members of the American Society of Clinical Hypnosis (ASCH), the National Guild of Hypnotists (NGH), and the International Medical and Dental Hypnotherapy Association (IMDHA). Our team maintains the highest standards of professional development, regularly attending national conferences and pursuing advanced certifications in specialized areas of clinical hypnosis.
