Independently ranked by our review of ratings, reviews and reputation · How we chose

You've tried the patch, the app, the willpower speech you gave yourself in the mirror. Now you're looking at hypnosis clinics in New York and wondering if the process is real or just theater. The five names on this page have logged 465 reviews between them, and every rating sits between 4.8 and 5, a tight spread that says the reputation here isn't a fluke.

Short answer: Hypnotist NYC (Marco Auciello, East Harlem) tops the list at 4.9 stars across 135 reviews, mostly for quit-smoking and public-speaking work delivered over the phone. Right behind it, HealingandRetreats in Brooklyn holds a perfect 5.0 from 115 reviews for QHHT and past-life regression sessions. Most sessions here run as multi-session programs rather than a single visit, so budget for a package, not a one-off.

Hypnotist NYC

4.9135 Google reviews

Hypnotist NYC is Marco Auciello's East Harlem practice, built around phone-based hypnotherapy for smoking cessation, weight management, and performance anxiety. Sessions are conducted remotely rather than in an office, with guided audio recordings sent afterward to reinforce the work between appointments. The practice runs long hours, open into the evening most weekdays and weekends too.

What people praise

  • Phone sessions clients say feel more relaxed than an office visit
  • Follow-up audio meditations to use between sessions
  • Multiple reviewers report successful quit-smoking outcomes, some returning years later for a relapse
  • Described as calm, professional, and non-judgmental with public-speaking anxiety

Our take: The volume here, 135 reviews at a near-perfect average, is the highest of any hypnotist on this list, and the remote-only format is either exactly what you want or a dealbreaker depending on preference.

HealingandRetreats – Brooklyn QHHT 量子催眠, Past Life Regression & Deep Healing of Depression, Anxiety, Trauma, Blockage

5.0115 Google reviews

HealingandRetreats, run by practitioner Naomi in Brooklyn, focuses on Quantum Healing Hypnosis Technique (QHHT), past-life regression, and what the practice calls hypno-channeling, alongside broader work on anxiety, depression, and trauma. The Jay Street studio keeps long hours seven days a week and also offers retreats and courses beyond individual sessions.

What people praise

  • Described repeatedly as calming, insightful, and unrushed
  • Clients report real emotional shifts weeks and months after a single session
  • Naomi's own explanations of the process are called clear and easy to follow
  • Open seven days, including evenings

Worth knowing

  • Several reviewers say the effects are gradual rather than immediate, so this isn't a quick fix

Our take: A perfect 5.0 across 115 reviews is rare at this volume. If you're drawn to the QHHT/past-life side of hypnotherapy specifically rather than straightforward behavioral work, this is the specialist on the list.

Hypnosis with Ana Maria

4.888 Google reviews

Hypnosis with Ana Maria, based near Bryant Park, offers hypnosis and past-life regression conducted online, with sessions available in English or Spanish. The practice also covers health coaching and gastric-band hypnosis for weight control alongside its core anxiety, phobia, and confidence work.

What people praise

  • Bilingual sessions, a genuine differentiator in this list
  • Clients describe her as clear about what a program can and can't accomplish
  • Several reviewers credit her work with helping through depression

Worth knowing

  • A couple of reviews describe billing and refund friction that took time to resolve, worth clarifying payment terms upfront

Hypnosis Leader Inc

4.964 Google reviews

Hypnosis Leader Inc, led by Dr. Kazi Anam from an office above Grand Central, pairs hypnosis with cognitive coaching for smoking cessation, weight loss, anxiety, phobias, and confidence work, along with some sessions aimed at sales performance and productivity. The practice has run long enough that some clients are back for a second issue after a first success years earlier.

What people praise

  • Multiple long-time clients returning for a second program
  • Reviewers highlight quick, noticeable results after just one or two sessions
  • Described as approachable and genuinely invested in outcomes, not just clock-watching

Joan Teasdale Hypnotherapy

4.863 Google reviews

Joan Teasdale Hypnotherapy operates out of the West Village, with Joan Teasdale also seeing clients virtually who are based in Seattle and Jackson Hole. The focus is anxiety, self-doubt, performance anxiety, and navigating major life transitions, typically over a short series of sessions rather than one visit.

What people praise

  • Clients describe her presence as calm and grounding from the first session
  • Several reviewers report lasting change from as few as four sessions
  • Praised for being fully present rather than rushing to end a session on time

Watch: 5 Best Hypnosis Clinics in New York (2026)

Health information disclaimer: This directory is informational only and not medical advice. Rankings reflect publicly available Google ratings and review volume, not clinical outcomes. Verify any practitioner’s credentials and registration with the relevant medical board before booking.

How we ranked these

We weigh the live Google rating alongside review volume, since a 5.0 from a handful of reviews carries less certainty than a 4.8 from over a hundred. Confidence blends both. Recency checks whether people are still leaving reviews now or the practice has gone quiet. None of this can be bought. A business can become a Featured Partner for placement, but no one can pay to move their score.

What does hypnotherapy cost in New York? (2026)

Pricing wasn’t consistently published across these practices, and hypnotherapy is typically sold as a multi-session program rather than a flat visit fee, so a single number would be misleading. Expect cost to scale with the number of sessions in a package, whether it’s delivered in person or remotely, and whether it includes follow-up materials like recorded audio. Ask for the full program price upfront, not just the first-session rate.

Serving all of New York

These five cover a real spread of the city: East Harlem, the West Village, Midtown near Grand Central, and Downtown Brooklyn near DUMBO. Several also work by phone or video, so if you’re searching hypnotherapist near me from Queens, Staten Island, or the outer boroughs, a remote session with one of these is often on the table before you rule anyone out on distance.

What to ask before you book a session

  • Is this delivered in person, by phone, or by video, and does that change the price?
  • How many sessions does a full program typically take for my goal?
  • What’s included beyond the session itself, like recorded audio or follow-up check-ins?
  • What’s the cancellation and refund policy if the program isn’t a fit?
  • Do you have experience with my specific goal, whether that’s smoking, weight, or anxiety?
  • Is there a free consultation call before I commit to a full package?

Frequently asked questions

Are these rankings paid?

No. Rankings come from public Google data. A business can pay to be a Featured Partner (badge and top placement), but that never changes another business’s score or position.

How did you choose these five?

We compared every hypnosis clinic in New York with a meaningful public track record and weighed rating, review volume, and how recently people are still reviewing them.

How often is this list updated?

We refresh these rankings periodically. This page reflects data verified in July 2026.

Does hypnotherapy work for quitting smoking?

Client reviews across this list repeatedly describe successful quit attempts, some lasting years, but individual results vary and no clinic can guarantee an outcome.

Do I need to be in New York City to use one of these?

Several of these practitioners work by phone or video with clients well outside the five boroughs, so location is often more flexible than the address suggests.

The bottom line

Hypnotist NYC is the safe default: the highest review volume on this list at a near-perfect average, built on remote sessions that make scheduling easy. If your interest is specifically QHHT or past-life work, HealingandRetreats’ perfect 5.0 makes it worth the trip to Brooklyn instead. Whoever you pick, ask about the full program cost before your first session, not just the intro rate.
