About your hypnotherapist

Rob Perin, CCHt

Certified Clinical Hypnotherapist, focused on clinical hypnosis and behavioral change.

Where it started. My first training in hypnosis came through the psychology department at Western Washington University during my college years. Ever since, I have used hypnosis and Neuro-Linguistic Programming in almost everything I do.

Formal training. My education includes more than 300 hours of instruction and more than 200 hours of supervised work with clients before I ever saw a client on my own. Since then I have logged hundreds more hours in private practice, and more than 200 hours in advanced certifications.

Always learning. I stay current with research in human behavior, psychology and hypnosis, and at any given time I am usually working toward my next certification.

What I don’t do. My practice is clinical hypnosis and behavioral therapy. No past lives, no chakras, no auras and no crystals.
