I completed my doctorate in clinical psychology (PsyD) at CalSouthern University, while simultaneously earning my certification in hypnotherapy from the Hypnosis Motivation Institute. I'm an American Academy of Experts in Traumatic Stress diplomat, a member of ATSA (Association for the Treatment of Sexual Abusers), the Los Angeles County Psychological Association, and the National Guild of Hypnotists.
A collection of inspiring stories from real people who started a new path in middle age or beyond. Also includes a "driver's manual" and tips on easing into a life change.

The traditional 12-Step programs are not for everyone. I applaud anything that helps people overcome addictions, and while the 12-steps certainly have saved millions of lives, there are alternative treatments. Indeed, I believe that there is nothing more powerful than human thought. Look at the placebo and the nocebo effects.
As an ex-smoker myself, I am extremely sensitive to this addiction. Clients may choose from a painless, gradual six-week program ($1,250) to stop smoking or an equally painless, withdrawal-free, powerful two-hour stop smoking session ($500). With hypnosis, I hold a 90% success rate with smokers who are committed to quitting smoking and comply with the simple instructions for success.
Many bright, well-prepared people suffer mild to extreme test anxiety before, and during, the SAT, LSAT, the Bar Exam, MFT exam, EPPP for psychologists, the GRE, MEDCAP, Real Estate Exam, CPA exams, and more.
I work with patients to prepare fully, turning worry and anxiety into excitement and focus, and operate mentally from a place of gratitude for the opportunity these exams offer, seeing the entire experience as a welcomed challenge to make their dreams come true.Test anxiety is learned, and whatever we've learned, can be unlearned and replaced with respect for the purpose of the test, and for yourself for taking on the challenge.

I achieved INCREDIBLE results with Dr. Irwin, and I think she is outstanding. I, probably like many people, was very skeptical about hypnotherapy before my session with Dr. Irwin but I decided to give it a try because all of the other habit-breaking methods/groups that I had tried did not work at all for me. Dr. Irwin records your sessions so that you can listen them over and over to reinforce the positive messages. I could not recommend anyone higher and am very grateful that a friend recommended her to me

As a Registered Dietitian Nutritionist and Certified Eating Disorder Specialist, the clients I have shared with Dr. Irwin really appreciate her caring and warm demeanor. She is very thorough, presents such professionalism and I believe anyone who has the opportunity to work with her would be very lucky and benefit significantly! She understands how to interact with the client who has experienced trauma. I have only had positive experiences with her.

I was skeptical about hypnosis…I didn’t even think I could be hypnotized. I heard about Dr. Irwin’s successes with other business people and decided to give it a try. My industry is going through a radical change and Dr. Irwin has helped me to focus on the opportunity rather than to buy into the fear of the unknown. As a man who likes to be in control, it was leap of faith that I’m glad I took. I’ve subsequently referred several people I know to Dr. Irwin for weight loss, insomnia and other issues.

Dr. Nancy Irwin is pretty well known if you Google her, but I wouldn't know it from our sessions...she's one of the most down-to-earth, generous, and compassionate therapists I've dealt with; and this is precisely what is necessary to trust someone enough to let them hypnotize you. I remember that if the current issue merited more attention, she would give me extra session time if she could--you definitely don't find that with most therapists who focus only on the business without genuinely caring for the client. Her non-judgmental presence helped me move forward with the issues I was dealing with
