Paul Plotnick, a licensed mental health counselor, has joined the staff of Hygeia Integrated Health in Yorktown. With his expertise in hypnosis, HyInHealth expands its menu of therapy services, which includes psychology, psychotherapy, parent coaching, nutrition, massage and acupuncture.

“A few weeks into the New Year, we can already hear the crash and burn of those resolutions that did not stick,” says HyInHealth Founder Denise Foulkes. “Regardless of the resolution and its undoing, we’ve added more artillery to our arsenal of support to help clients achieve and maintain their health and wellness goals.”

Through hypnosis, people can learn to access their unconscious resources to facilitate positive growth and change, she says. “Hypnosis enables you to better handle emotional issues, such as anxiety or stress, and to learn more adaptive patterns of behavior. It is used to treat a variety of conditions, many of which are often featured on those New Year’s resolution lists: smoking cessation, weight management, habit disorders, athletic performance, academics and more.”

She notes that lifestyle changes are “a process, a journey; they are a marathon, not a sprint. It takes time to make changes that stick around for the long term, and along with time, it takes support. The therapists at HyInHealth LLC are there to do just that: to help uncover what drives and triggers our unwanted habits so we can work on implementing positive, life-affirming changes.”
