Biography for Xochilt Guerrero, CHt

Welcome. I’m Xochilt Guerrero, a bilingual Certified Hypnotherapist and the founder of New Beginnings Hypnotherapy. I offer private online sessions in English and Spanish. My intention is to offer a calm, judgment-free space where you can exhale, ask questions, and feel genuinely heard.

I understand how vulnerable it can feel to want change and not know where to begin. You do not need to arrive with the right words or have everything figured out. I chose the name New Beginnings because I believe growth does not have an expiration date; sometimes a new beginning starts with one honest conversation, one small decision, or the moment you realize you are ready for something to feel different.

I see each person as more than a concern to work on. I honor the connection between mind, body, and spirit, and what gives your life meaning. We work together at a pace that feels comfortable, honoring your personal story and the wisdom you already carry.

I earned my Diploma in Clinical Hypnotherapy from HMI College of Hypnotherapy, graduating with High Honors and receiving the Director’s Award, recognizing my place among the top 15 graduates in my class. I continue my education so I can bring care, preparation, and thoughtful support to our work together.

You remain aware, in control, and part of every decision throughout our sessions. More than anything, I hope our work helps you reconnect with your own strength, peace, and clarity—and feel that your next chapter can begin in a way that is personal, meaningful, and truly yours.

Experience

My HMI training includes counseling and interviewing, ethics, therapeutic journaling, case conferences, and supervised client work. My additional certifications include Neuro-Linguistic Programming, Advanced Imagery, Therapeutic Imagery Facilitator, Healing the Inner Child, Mental and Emotional Release® Therapy, Driving Anxiety and Social Phobias, Hypnosis and ADHD, and Smoking/Vaping Cessation. My continuing education also includes grief, relationships, life transitions, mindfulness, and mind-body approaches.

I support adults with stress, worry, anxiety-related concerns, self-confidence, self-esteem, perfectionism, self-criticism, motivation, procrastination, communication, and habit change. I have a particular interest in supporting women through life transitions, relationship changes, and the process of reconnecting with their own needs and sense of self. My work can also offer support through grief and loss, and inner-child work focused on self-compassion and present-day needs.

Depending on your goals, sessions may include focused relaxation, Therapeutic Imagery, NLP-informed tools, personalized suggestions, and simple practices to use between sessions. I respect the place that meaning, faith, and spirituality may have in your life, while letting your own beliefs guide that part of our work. I work within the scope of hypnotherapy, do not diagnose medical or mental health conditions, and seek appropriate referral or coordination with licensed professionals when needed.
