EnglishWhat Issues Can Hypnotherapy at Boston Hypnosis Help With?
Updated
Boston Hypnosis, led by hypnotist Brian Mahoney, lists hypnotherapy for anxiety, fear of flying, fear of public speaking, erectile dysfunction, driving anxiety, weight loss and emotional eating, plus phobias and nail biting. If your concern is on that list, the practice is set up to address it directly. If it isn't, the site's own framing suggests the next step is a conversation rather than a self-assessment.
The issues named on the site
The homepage groups its "Help for..." section into these areas:
- Anxiety — the first item listed and the one the page title leads with
- Fear of flying
- Fear of public speaking
- Erectile dysfunction
- Driving anxiety
- Weight loss and emotional eating
A separate client-video section expands the range further, with clips organized under anxiety, weight loss, erectile dysfunction, fear of public speaking, fear of flying, phobia, and nail biting. So the practical scope is broader than the six headline items: it covers specific phobias and habit-type behaviors alongside the performance and anxiety concerns.
How the practice describes its approach
Two statements on the page matter for judging fit.
First, the work is described as tailored rather than programmatic: "All the work is tailored — see how different it can be from one client to another." That is consistent with the video section, where the same practitioner handles anxiety, weight loss, and erectile dysfunction with what the site presents as different processes per client.
Second, the practice says it deliberately limits its caseload: "Nine out of ten Boston Hypnosis clients are successful because I limit my practice." The implication is that not every inquiry becomes a client — the site asks "Would you be a good fit?" and routes to a conversation instead of promising universal results.
What the client results actually show
The page reports two rating blocks: 4.8/5 across 25 reviews and 4.8/5 across 22 reviews, with 96% and 95% five-star shares respectively. Brian Mahoney states he has worked with clients since 2002 and helped "thousands."
The written reviews describe specific, varied problems:
| Reviewer | Issue brought to sessions |
|---|---|
| Jackson M | A difficult life period; described as being helped "out of the darkness" |
| Lynn | Compulsive eating and unhealthy behaviors |
| Madeline K., Cambridge, MA | Insomnia and a negative pattern |
| Kathleen S., Brookline | Decades-old problems that had resisted traditional solutions |
| Jessica Geragosian, MA | Removing alcohol from her life; reports one year sober |
| Anish | Notes initial suspicion of uniformly five-star reviews |
Two things are worth reading carefully here. The reviews cover ground beyond the homepage list — insomnia and alcohol are not in the "Help for..." menu — so the stated service list is not necessarily the outer limit. And one reviewer (Anish) flags the review profile itself as unusually uniform, which is a fair thing to weigh when you read ratings.
Deciding whether to inquire
Use the site's own list as a first filter:
- Likely a direct match: anxiety, flying, public speaking, driving anxiety, erectile dysfunction, weight loss and emotional eating, phobias, nail biting.
- Possibly in scope but not advertised: sleep problems, compulsive behaviors, alcohol, and other long-standing patterns — these appear in client accounts but not in the service headings, so they need to be raised in the initial conversation.
- Not addressed on the page: medical or psychiatric conditions requiring clinical treatment. The site presents hypnosis as a complement to resolving patterns, not as a substitute for medical care, and nothing on the page claims otherwise.
The site's closing question — "Could I help you, too?" — points to a conversation as the actual fit test. Given the stated practice limit, that conversation is where you would confirm whether your specific issue is one he takes on.
