Introduction

I am Jeff Ballard, the owner of Hoover Hypnosis, with a physical office in Hoover, Alabama, serving the broader Birmingham area with face-to-face sessions and globally through online video conferencing.

I hold a Master of Science in Counseling Psychology, and credentialed as a Certified Consulting Hypnotist, trained by reputable academies. My practice blends traditional (direct) and Ericksonian (conversational) hypnosis, incorporating progressive relaxation, visual imagery, creative visualization, Neurolinguistic Programming (NLP), Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT), and stress reduction, all grounded in neuroscience yet attuned to the unexplained.

With a specialty in addressing anomalous trauma, I provide a sensitive, tailored approach for those encountering the extraordinary, like alien abductions, past-life recollections, spectral encounters, or interactions with unexplained entities. I offer a unique pathway to healing for those with these exceptional experiences.

Beyond my hypnosis credentials, I am an Advanced Practitioner of Andrew Austin's Integral Eye Movement Techniques (IEMT). IEMT presents unique methods for addressing stressful experiences, and many of my techniques allow for a "content free" approach, ensuring privacy and efficacy without delving into specific event details.

Additionally, having trained in Sarah Yuen’s Crisis and Trauma Clinical Hypnotherapy (CATCH) PTSD protocol, I have an effective structured approach to address and work through the layers of issues surrounding your mind and body’s reaction to those life-altering events.

The question at heart is, how can hypnosis aid you? Whether it’s enhancing well-being, easing stress, conquering fears, fostering motivation and confidence, altering habitual actions, or navigating the complexities of anomalous experiences, my practice is designed to facilitate profound transformation and empowerment.

In every session, I prioritize empathy and confidentiality, creating a safe space for clients to explore and heal from their unique experiences. Whether you are seeking relief from conventional life stresses or guidance through the uncharted territories of anomalous experiences, I am committed to assisting you on your journey towards healing and self-discovery.
