Welcome To Our Web Site!: For over 35 years, David J. Norton, M.A., LPC founder of Hartford Hypnosis Center, has helped people by giving a gentle guiding hand towards helping to learn skills that help them combat negative patterns and self destructive habits. Hypnotherapy can help you to learn to overcome the forces within you that prevent you from attaining a goal, whether it is to lose weight, stop smoking or overcome fears.

Hypnosis is not magic; it is a well-established technique with a rich history, thousands of journal and text books, various theories and schools of thought and is experiencing a re-newed interest in medical and academic institutions at this time.

     Hartford Hypnosis Center employs Hypnosis as an instructional medium to aid people in learning to develop positive changes, Mr. Norton, the founder and director attended and graduated from The University of Buffalo with a BA. in English and Secondary Education certification. He received his Masters degree from St. Joseph's College and CCSU in counseling. He is married and the father of 4 children. An avid swimmer, Mr. Norton competes in masters swimming and coaches boys swimming on the High School level.

COUNSELING: Simply put, counseling helps you find yourself. Sometimes you may not like what you find, but that can be dealt with as well. There are times where feelings demand to be explored and discovered. Counseling is helpful through life's transitions. Divorce, Grief, Job Loss, Depression, Anxiety, can all be explored and treated. I use a combination of approaches, including; Dream journaling, Dialogue, Anaylsis, Gestalt and body-therapies. Most importantly I am a compassionate and focused listener.
