Hypnosis Center of Virginia
Welcome to Hypnosis Center of Virginia, a professional hypnotherapy practice serving Virginia Beach and surrounding areas for those seeking meaningful and lasting personal change. The Hypnosis Center also serves all of North America over the internet.. This practice is led by RJ, a highly experienced hypnotist with decades of study in personal development and advanced mind based techniques. Clients come here when they are ready to move beyond frustration, stress, unwanted habits, emotional pain, or performance blocks and want real progress without endless talk or drawn out processes.
Change Faster Than You Thought Possible
Hypnosis Center of Virginia is built on the belief that change does not need to be difficult, painful, or slow. Many problems persist not because people lack willpower, but because the subconscious mind has learned patterns that no longer serve them. Hypnosis works directly with those patterns, helping clients access inner resources that already exist but may be blocked by stress, fear, or past experiences. This approach allows many people to experience relief and improvement faster than they expected.
"RJ is absolutely amazing. The consultation was very informative and relaxing. He made me feel comfortable enough to share information that would help him. It has about 40 days now....no smoking. And I love it."
- Eli
Meet Rj
RJ is known for providing premium level service and has earned a reputation for helping people from many walks of life, including high achievers and individuals who require a high level of discretion. For clients who prefer it, private sessions can take place in the comfort of their own environment. This flexibility is part of the personalized care that defines the Hypnosis Center of Virginia experience.
RJ has been a student of personal development since the nineteen eighties and continues to deepen his expertise through ongoing education and practice. He is a graduate of the American School of Clinical Hypnosis and a professional member of both the National Guild of Hypnotists and the International Medical and Dental Hypnotherapy Association. This commitment to professional standards and continued growth ensures clients receive care rooted in proven methods and ethical practice.
In addition to his professional background, RJ served for twenty one years as a United States Marine. This experience gives him a deep understanding of discipline, resilience, and the unique challenges faced by military members and veterans. Many clients from the military community appreciate working with someone who understands their culture, stressors, and mindset without judgment or explanation.
Hypnosis for real world challenges
People seek hypnotherapy for many reasons. Some want to stop smoking or vaping after years of trying other methods. Others are struggling with stress, anxiety, trauma, or lingering emotional pain from past events or relationships. Many clients want help with confidence, motivation, focus, or performance in sports, careers, or personal goals. There are also those who are simply tired of feeling stuck and want clarity and direction for the future.
At Hypnosis Center of Virginia, sessions are tailored to the individual. There is no one size fits all script. Each session is guided by the client’s goals, history, and current challenges. Hypnosis is not about losing control or being unconscious. Clients remain aware and engaged while accessing a deeply focused state where meaningful change can occur.
The process is respectful, private, and collaborative. Clients are encouraged to ask questions and understand how the work supports their goals. Many people describe sessions as calming, empowering, and surprisingly insightful.
A focus on freedom from suffering
Suffering may show up as chronic stress, emotional pain, unwanted habits, or self defeating patterns that repeat despite best efforts. Hypnosis, combined with advanced techniques such as hyper emperia, mind bending and other mind based systems, helps interrupt these patterns and replace them with healthier responses.
Rather than focusing endlessly on problems, the work emphasizes solutions and forward movement. Clients often report feeling lighter, clearer, and more confident as they reconnect with their ability to choose how they think, feel, and respond.
A supportive first step forward
While based in Virginia Beach, the Hypnosis Center of Virginia serves clients from across the nation. In person appointments are available for local clients, and video based sessions allow individuals from across the nation to receive support without travel. This accessibility makes it possible for people within North America to work with RJ regardless of location.
If you are ready to move past what has been holding you back and want guidance from an experienced professional who values results, integrity, and respect, Hypnosis Center of Virginia offers a path forward grounded in experience and genuine care.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is hypnosis?
Any tool I can use to get you into trance.
Ok, smarty pants. What is trance?Trance is extreme focus. The reason hypnosis is so effective is, your mind becomes super focused on one thing. What one thing? Well, as a hypnotist, I have some suggestions.
Are you certified?
I’m certified by the National Guild of Hypnotists, the International Medical Dental Association of Hypnotists, and several other organizations.
How long have you been doing this?
Professionally only since 2011. But I have been purposely hypnotizing people since 2003.
Is hypnosis safe?
Yes. My focus is taking away what doesn’t belong in your life, that is, the things you already want to give up.
Do you have a professional office?
Yes. If you are in Virginia Beach, my office is right across the street from Mt Trashmore. If you are distant, we can work over the internet.
Does Internet hypnosis work?
Yes. The change takes place in your mind, not in my office.
Can hypnosis help me?
Yes. If you are a normal person who just needs help with something, and you are willing to follow my instructions, you will get the change we agreed upon.
How many sessions will I need?
That depends on you. Most people don’t need more than a handful of sessions.
What is your success rate?
With almost everything I do, my success rate is in the high 90 percentile. If my success rate is lower for your particular issue, (e.g. memory recall) I’ll let you know that upfront.
Can I be hypnotized?
You hypnotize yourself several times a day. The question is, will you allow ME to lead you THIS TIME?
Is hypnosis brain washing?
No. We’re not tricking the conscious mind. We’re getting the conscious mind and subconscious mind to agree with each other. Right now, your subconscious mind is doing something you don’t like. We need to convince your subconscious mind to, instead, do what you want.
Do I have to believe?
No. You only have to be curious. If you come in playful, even better.
