Getting to know Carolyn Bell
I’m a Holistic LMHC specializing in trauma and addictions, using Tf-CBT, Mindfulness, and Clinical Hypnotherapy. I hold an MEd in Mental Health Counseling from Cambridge College, a Bachelor’s degree from Granite State College, and a Diploma from The Institute of Interpersonal Hypnotherapy. People can expect to develop a better sense of how they are the ‘authors’ of their lives. Our goal is to use a positive approach that applauds their aspirations while acknowledging their limitations to increase their potential. We work to identify their interests, skills, and passions that create drive, opportunity, and increase self-confidence and esteem.
I work positively, creating a collaborative process for clients to explore their lived experience honestly and openly; to learn how to identify ‘Who am I’ and ‘What are My Heart’s Desires.’ It’s important to help people become aware of choices, with freedom to make decisions and see the effects of their actions; it’s about the whole human condition. Leading with intention, to instill confidence and self-motivation, allows clients to meet new challenges and stake claims on innate abilities without judgment.
What should a new client know about working with you?
Are you looking for someone to listen, understand, and support you while navigating struggles of everyday life? How about your own personal confidant and Diploma trained Clinical and Interpersonal Hypnotherapist, whose passion is to serve, teach and heal? This a bonus in today's busy world. There are many pressures adding to the anxiety or sadness that comes with balancing careers, relationships, health and wellness. I am here to support you in finding this balance, providing a safe space, teaching you the strength to conquer your fears, mindfulness, and effective ways to identify your feelings, while effectively communicating them.
What is your typical process for working with clients?
I am a Healer, Teacher, and Confidant, working to bring a positive spirit, hope, and connection. By supporting efforts to make personal identifications like, "Who am I" and "What are my heart's desires", with powerful, positive hypnotic suggestions resulting in your ability to integrate internally, cope with real-life struggles, and realize self-empowerment.

My visit with Carolyn Bell was exactly what I needed.
Carolyn is obviously a seasoned professional!
What I enjoyed most about my visit, was, the peace I felt when I left . I feel I went in with ambiguous feelings, unsure of what I needed to do to find my was through. I wasn't sure how to get to the cause of my emotional disaccord.
Carolyn directed me in such a way that I was able to logically and emotionally realize what I was feeling, The next step was to work together to find a solution. I felt we worked in such a way that I was at ease and confident in the steps I needed to take.
As I mentioned, when I left I was at peace, and that is priceless

Carolyn has not only helped me through difficult times, but she has helped me realize who I am and how to live for myself. Feelings have always made me uncomfortable and I find it so effortless to talk with Carolyn and really figure out the root of my feelings. I could not recommend her more!

I've been in therapy for years of my life, but doing hypnotherapy with Carolyn was 10 times more cathartic than any other therapy session I've ever had. I've been able to put pieces together about my trauma and my past that I don't believe I would have been able to otherwise. She is empathetic, passionate, and incredibly dedicated to her work and her clients. I've always felt held, nurtured, and safe to open up around her, which has expedited my growth and healing. Carolyn is truly gifted, and I look forward to continuing to be inspired to create positive change in my life through her facilitation.

I saw Carolyn once a week for over a year, and I have never felt more supported and genuinely cared about by a therapist. Knowing I had her in my corner helped me get through some of the toughest times I’ve had. She really helped me love and accept who I am. The techniques she used helped me come to my own conclusions about what I needed to do, which helped me build critical thinking and problem solving skills I will have with me always. I really couldn’t imagine going through the last year without her, she really was my saving grace! Carolyn is such a wonderful and caring person, I highly recommend her as a therapist!!!
She also is an EXPERT at hypnotherapy. I had my doubts at first but wow, it really works. I still go back to the places she helped me create in my mind when I need ground myself. She helped me uncover a lot of trauma I didn’t even know was there, but I also felt safe and comfortable. I’m so grateful for her and all she has done for me.
