I am a doctoral-level licensed professional counselor who has been in private practice for nearly 20 years. I specialize in hypnosis and hypnotherapy but also practice a wide range of counseling and therapeutic techniques. I prefer to work from a private pay, diagnosis free approach but am currently expanding my practice and will soon accept many insurances. I believe that we can work together to achieve the change that you are looking for.

I specialize in helping people through hypnotherapy. I have had a tremendous amount of success in treating chronic pain, anxiety, depression, substance use, sexual dysfucntion, eating disorders, and many other issues. If you want change or relief, I believe I can help.

I am currently in the credentialing process with several major insurance providers.

“Dr. Arena was knowledgeable, compassionate and concerned himself with my issues. He accommodated my work schedule. As a fellow clinician I understand the importance of change. Dr. David Arena was able to assist and guide me through the process of smoking cessation, I had one visit and have been cigarette free since that session. I haven't smoked since July 30th, 2010 at 5:40pm. It was the best decision I ever made. Thanks to his expertise I am living a healthier lifestyle. I recommend Dr. Arena for all my clients and friends hypnosis needs.
