Hi! I’m Steve Axtell, board-certified in Clinical Hypnotherapy and director of the Axtell Hypnotherapy Clinic in Lakewood, Colorado. I have been involved in the mental health field for over 41 years.
The focus of my early career was initially with adolescents, then in the area of drug and alcohol rehabilitation and education. For the past 35 years, I have focused on using Hypnotherapy and Neuro-Linguistic Programming to help people rapidly change unwanted habits, overcome the blocks that hold them back in life, and become healthier, happier, and wealthier.
I graduated from Baylor University in 1970 with a degree in Social Work with an emphasis on Counseling. In 1974, I graduated from the U.S. Department of Defense Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation School and, in 1975, from the Rutgers University School of Alcohol Studies. I became certified in Neuro-Linguistic Programming in 1994. I did extensive training in Hypnotherapy, which led to Certification with the American Board of Hypnotherapy and the National Guild of Hypnotists in 1997.
As a presenter and teacher, I receive invitations to give workshops and seminars internationally and across the U.S. I have trained well over 700 people in the art and science of Hypnosis to date,
In my work with individual clients, I begin with the belief that “no one is ‘broken’ and needs to be “fixed.” It’s simply that you haven’t been taught how to take control of your thoughts and emotions. You have a wealth of internal resources and access to many external resources…more than enough to live a rich and full life. It’s just a matter of having the tools you need to tap into this vast reservoir of ability, capability, confidence, and genius that resides within you and without you.
I see my role as more of an educator than a “therapist.” I teach the skills necessary to overthrow past programming that doesn’t work and then help you develop the ability to move forward in the direction you want. It’s about generating the skills to make choices and create freedom in your life!
I enjoy working with clients from around the country and the world. Coaching, NLP change-work, and yes – even hypnosis are powerfully effective over the phone.
I always provide a free consultation to determine if this approach is right for you.
