Meet Joel Geffen
Joel B. Geffen, CHt, CCHt, is a Certified Clinical Hypnotherapist serving clients throughout Los Angeles and online. He earned his Certified Hypnotherapist (CHt) and Certified Clinical Hypnotherapist (CCHt) credentials through the International Institute of Interpersonal Hypnotherapy (IAIH). Joel focuses on root-cause hypnotherapy, an approach designed to uncover and resolve the underlying source of an issue rather than simply manage its symptoms. Every client works with Joel personally, in a calm and confidential setting, so the process stays tailored to their goals from the first conversation forward. Joel welcomes clients ages 15 and older who are ready and motivated to create meaningful change.
Going to the Source for Lasting Change
Most approaches to personal change work at the level of the conscious mind, relying on discipline, logic, and repetition. Yet many of the patterns people struggle with live deeper, in the subconscious mind, where beliefs and emotional responses were formed long before conscious effort ever entered the picture. Joel works directly with those subconscious patterns, helping clients identify the original source of a problem so it can finally be addressed. Resolving issues at the source helps clients find that symptoms and behaviors are resolved for a much healthier, happier outlook.
“When you understand why a pattern started, you stop fighting yourself. This is where lasting change actually begins.”
— Joel B. Geffen, CHt, CCHt

What Clients Say
The second session was just as powerful. I realized I was carrying anger and resentment toward my father that I didn’t even know was there. I had also been experiencing physical symptoms, including difficulty swallowing and breathing, even though there was nothing physically wrong with me. As I released those emotions, the physical sensations disappeared, and I’m now able to breathe and eat normally again. I truly feel lighter, freer, and ready to live a better life.
