    Where to begin ? January 2010 marked a new and exciting time in my life. I started my own practice and joined a prestigious Medical Group in San Francisco and Oakland. In addition, I consult for Health Insurance companies and perform Medical-Legal evaluations.

    Sounds great ? Yes and no. The amount of stress due to working 7 days/week and my "weekend" consisting of work, paperwork and reports was taking it's toll.

    I was referred to Joy and she has been helping me tackle time management and stress reduction techniques which have been invaluable. She puts me in a deep state of relaxation and gives me the tools to help me manage my issues.

    It's no coincidence that her name is Joy because she is a "joy" to work with. Thanks again Joy for all your help and continued support.

    Joy is a wonderful practitioner. She is intuitive, smart and very sweet. I've said this to many people about her hypnotherapy: that sometimes you can go to counseling and talk about issues until you are blue in the face, but sometimes you need something more, something deeper.

    Joy has helped me with both physical and emotional ailments. Each time i see her she takes me to amazing places and has helped me heal from very traumatic events, has given me strength to complete my goals and has taught me how to center myself when things get hectic.

    If you are at a crossroads and need to make a change, Joy is the person to see.

    I love Joy!

    I saw her for the first time in early 2007 to get help leaving a troubled relationship. She created such a safe space for me to truly let go of all my feelings, and transformed my words into sessions that allowed me to finally do the hard work on myself that I couldn't find the strength to do otherwise. I was finally able to let go of that relationship and move on. Since then she has helped me in other areas of my life that have needed attention. I know who I will turn to again, if I ever feel "stuck" in some aspect of my life that needs to change. I am a more grounded, secure and confident spirit since doing this work through her.

    Joy is very compassionate, kind and open. Her energy is amazing. I am grateful for people like her that provides such an important service!

    Joy Reichard is a pleasure to work with and completely different than my past experiences with hypnotherapy. I had tried hypnotherapy twice before working with Joy and though I liked the modality some, I wasn't totally enthralled by it. When I booked my appointment with Joy, I don't think I told her I was vaguely dubious, but really I was. I had remembered my past experiences where, though useful, I didn't feel like the hypnotherapist had really "heard" me and had instead offered "textbook" solutions to the problem I was hoping to treat. By contrast, my experience with Joy was truly inspiring work.

    Joy's work is very individualized and though I felt I was coming in with a typical "run of the mill" problem, her approach was tailored to me and my personality, and she readily leveraged tools that appeared to work better with me and disregarded tools that might be better for others. I felt totally heard and understood and no sense of judgement on her part.

    In the course of prodding me to go deeper into my own life experience, we were able to more clearly see how certain behaviors and thought processes may have been useful at a time, even if they were less useful (perhaps even detrimental) now. In short, it felt as if we were able to "unhook" these associations and create room for something different. It's really transformative work.

    One thing that's impressive to me about her work is that she learned to adopt some of "my language" so that when we went into a relaxed state, I would benefit by her use of repeating back to me my own interpretations, goals, and understanding. The outcome is that the recording we made together under hypnosis is still useful to me today when I replay it on my own. The first recording we made was 3 years ago-ish and since then we've worked on some different things and I'm finding out that her work is more varied than I had originally understood.

    Disclosure: Joy and I know each other professionally as we both work out of the same San Mateo location. I believe this professional rapport mostly adds to my ability to yelp her because I too have a private medical practice and therefore, share some similar goals as Joy does. Personally, I look forward to using Joy's service offerings to work on even deeper level with myself. Professionally, I look forward to referring more patients to her as well.

    Joy helped our 16 year old teen with a chronic health issue that included insomnia and anxiety. It's not easy to reach and interact with a teen, especially one that's in chronic pain and has seen her share of healthcare providers. Our daughter immediately felt comfortable and safe. She looked forward to her next appointment and utilized her take home CD's very much. It has enabled her to relax more and decompress from a stressful or painful day. Thank you Joy. As your name indicates  you are a true JOY.

    I've worked with Joy Reichard for several issues.  My main objective for working with Joy Reichard is to achieve success with the least amount of stress and personal obstructions to accomplishment.  From the very first session, I found her caring and understanding and I felt immediately comfortable to say what's really going on with me.  Because of that, she was able to help me help myself.

    The tangible results have been that I was able to secure funding for my business for a product launch and have been able to move forward confidently accepting the help that I've been given all along the way.

    Oh how I love Joy!  I can't tell you how much this woman has helped me.  I came to see Joy for some help with Grief and letting go of some painfull stuff in my life. Let me tell you, I felt as though a huge heavy weight was lifted off of my chest.  I litterly felt "lighter" after leaving my sessions with Joy.  She can help you too with quitting smoking, losing wieght, trauma, grief, loss, etc.  I especially encourage men who are too proud to go to a therapist for help with stress, anxiety, or depression to try at least one session with Joy.  I promise she will make you feel safe and secure.  She is just such a lovely woman and a beautiful spirit!

    I gotta say if I can give 0 stars, I would.  I went to see Joy because of the reviews.  However, I think these reviews must have been jury rigged if you know what I mean.  I only went to see her once since it didn't relaly help me much.  She gave me a CD to try and it just did not do me any good.  Yeah yeah, people are going to tell me I need to see her more than just once.  However, I didn't see anything different after the first time I saw her which I was hoping  it would.  What she did for me, I could have paid a fraction by going to my own shrink by paying just my co-pay!  

    I don't smoke and I don't need to lose weight.  She was no help to me at all.

    Not only did she have the balls to ask me for payment in advance, she was telling me if it didn't work, she would only charge me 50%!

    She proceded in telling me about this woman with the potato chip addiction story mor than once!  

    Needless to say, I will NOT be going back and I would definitely not recommend anyone to see her!

    I just wanted to give everyone an update that today is my one year anniversary of quitting smoking and I couldn't have done it without Joy's help. I did not cheat even once! Not one single puff! If I can quit smoking you can quit smoking and the only tool you need is transformative hypnotherapy. Yay for me!

    I had never been to a hypnotherapist before, and wasn't sure what to expect. As I had always heard, you should think that you haven't really been hypnotized, but you'll later realize that you have...because it works.  I quit smoking, just like that, really! There was the five days of annoying withdrawals that she tells you about, and then that's it.  It's a little expensive, but worth it!! And some insurances will cover it, so check with them.  Joy is wonderful and comfortable to be around.  Really nice lady who cares about people and is great at what she does.

    I was taking some medication that really did a number on my whole mental and physical health. All of a sudden, I could not sleep. My then wife, gave up on me, my doctors gave up on me. Then, friends told me to try alternative means. I found Joy and she was an angel to work with. Even when the medication was taking control of my mind, Joy helped me to take that control back with her hypnotherapy sessions.  I relearned how to go to sleep and how to reduce as much stress as possible. I don't think I would have made it without Joy's help.

    I was on a mission to breakthrough this part of myself that I could never get to to address. Battling this major project of chronic illness, it forces you to be proactive to, "clean house". I am a longtime recipiant- (near to 30 years) of therapy. I am a big fan, but could never get to this important element. Fear or the inability to touch into it with my professionals was a predominant factor. Joy, Joy, Joy... my goodness not only intuitive professional, amazingly together yet loving as one could ever wish for. In the sessions we have had, I have been able to surpass all of the traditional therapy I have invested in - (mind you a different element in tt). I am truly amazing how I was able to go without fear or doubt. Generally I am sceptically optimistic with alternative therapies. Joy is a gentle master of her craft. She completes all of my extra high expectations about process, her professionalism and one who can take our work and treat me tenderly and with respect. She does all of this with pureness and very well. I feel, a life was saved and a woman is emerging. Thank you Joy, thank you Joy. Worth for you to make sometime to take care of you and have your life lifted and well, freed by discovery and gentle change and letting it go. ~ Shawna C.
