Biography for Mario Pescatore, CCHt

Mario's passion for helping others achieve their maximum potential began many years ago. Through extensive studies of humanity from Psychology to Metaphysics, Spirituality to the Arts. From working at his family's business at 12 years old in Philadelphia to a successful business owner in Los Angeles, Mario's experience has taken him to many places around the world.

Using a lifetime of practical experience and a continuing thirst for knowledge and current breakthroughs in research science, Mario brings a special combination of knowledge, experience and understanding to his hypnotherapy practice.

Mario believes that humor and patient understanding are cornerstones of a successful therapeutic approach. Easy to talk to, Mario's way of making everyone feel comfortable and at ease is something that can not be taught in an academic setting. It is a special quality that is inborn.

The human mind operates in a language that utilizes symbols and imagery. Having a Master Certification in Therapeutic Imagery, Mario incorporates powerful Imagery techniques to help clients both achieve their desired goals and remove any and all blocks or resistance to making their goals a reality. Working with clients to eliminate unwanted behaviors and create new, positive outcomes through intrapersonal conditioning using proven techniques, has become the joy and focus of Mario's career in Hypnotherapy.
