Biography for May Abougabal, CHt

I’m May Abougabal. I’m a hypnotherapist that helps people with their chronic symptoms and trauma.

How do I stand out from the rest?

I’m not your typical therapist, what I offer is unlike anything else out there.

  • I won’t just label you and hand you some medications. Medication isn’t always the answer. Sure, it might give you some relief, but it doesn’t fix the root problem. No wonder you're still suffering, even after being on medications for years.
  • I won’t waste your time with more tips or theories – you’ve heard it all, and nothing’s really changed.
  • I won’t drown you in behavioral therapy, homework, or a ten-module course that takes ages to complete.
  • I won’t tell you to “help yourself.” If you could do it alone, you would’ve by now.

What I offer is undeniably different:

While others focus on just easing the symptoms, I focus on treating the root cause behind it all. Treating symptoms might bring temporary relief, but they often return, or the root problem shows up later as a whole new symptom.

I offer real therapy, working intensively with you to find the core reason of what’s trapping you and holding you from living the life you desire. My goal isn’t just to help you cope; it’s to completely and eternally eliminate the problem. Getting to the root cause is the key to lasting change, freeing you from your problem for good and making sure it doesn’t come back.

  • It’s all done in the session, I’ve got you covered. There’s nothing for you to do before or after – just show up on time and answer my questions.
  • I work with only (one client a day) to give my full attention and the space you need, which is why my available spots are very limited.
  • Sessions are intensive and powerful, with no strict time limits, which is why my clients see results faster.
  • Sessions are online via Zoom, so you can reach me from anywhere and feel like you’re right in my office with just a click.
  • Sessions are offered in both Arabic and English.
  • I’m a Certified Hypnotherapist from the oldest and most prestigious hypnotherapy college in the U.S., the Hypnosis Motivation Institute in California.
  • I have 8 years of experience in hypnotherapy.
  • I’ve received excellent reviews from clients worldwide.
  • I maintain a 5-star rating on Google.
