Dr. Massi has practiced since 1996 in a wide variety of settings.
Treatment for trauma:
Dr. Massi has treated patients in both in-patient and out-patient units, clinics and environments. She has worked extensively with first responders, including custody officers, and is trained in various forms of debriefing and trauma-response therapies, including EMDR and clinical hypnosis. She has years of experience working in the state prison system, so she understands the unique issues of custody officers.
Treatment for anxiety relating to health-care procedures:
Dr Massi will help you to manage fears such as dental phobias, anxiety about upcoming medical procedures, and treatment anxiety in general. If the treatment team involved agrees, Dr. Massi will travel to the site of the treatment and work with you right there to achieve a state of mental relaxation and ease through clinical hypnosis and deep visualization. Fees vary, depending on distance traveled and length of session required.
Sports Success:
Do you want to cross that finish line with less pain, less fear, and fewer injuries? Dr. Massi is a veteran runner, having completed 3 marathons, 6 half-marathons, and a ridiculous number of 5K and 10K runs. She began her running career in 1970 at the age of ten and has been a runner ever since, with the occasional break for recovery from injury and a few months of real-life interruptions.
She will teach you advanced and time-proven strategies to define your own personal level of success, to see the victory you design, and to get that t-shirt, trophy, or medal.
Let's put the power of your own strong will into your performance!
