I found Bob through a Google search looking for a hypnotist who helps people quit smoking. It was a last ditch effort, as I truly believed I would never be able to quit smoking short of some kind of miracle. I was most skeptical about hypnosis over Zoom, and could it really work if not in person? Well, the answer is yes! The session ended, and I looked at the clock. It had been 2 hours since my last cigarette that day. I thought for sure the cravings would start coming on strong, since your addicted brain always seems to know when you want to quit and suggests you chain smoke instead. That craving never happened. There was no inner dialogue about it, no intrusive thoughts, no restless nights. I had very few mild cravings, which were completely manageable. Since the hypnosis session I haven’t thought about smoking in any type of desirable way. It’s just in my past now, and any withdrawal symptom I experience quickly passes with a few breaths. I haven’t had a cigarette since, and I know I never will again. If you are highly motivated to quit, and you really want to break the habit, this is the real deal. It works, and I’m beyond grateful that I found Bob and changed my life for the better.

I would totally recommend anyone who is struggling with weight loss, smoking etc. Bob has been an amazing life change for me. I have my confidence back and most of all a new lease on life. My son and I have been smoke free for about 2 1/2 years and we are feeling great. I recently have been hypnotized for weight loss and the pounds are coming off just in time for spring! Thank you so much Bob!!! You are the best!Angela

My wife had developed an disorder that was impacting her daily life. We spoke with our primary care physician and several specialists. After the usual battery of tests they found no evidence of a physical condition. We then decided to try hypnotherapy and contacted Bob. My wife showed noticeable improvement after the initial session and she was able to overcome her challenges with just a few sessions . I would not hesitate to recommend Bob to anyone who has been struggling with anxiety issues or similar challenges.

It has been 1 year cigarette free (I was not a believer ) . Bob Pargament Thank You

An amazing experience that is truly life changing. Thank you for everything💛

In my quest to quit smoking, I was willing to try anything, including hypnosis. I will admit, I was skeptical.I cant believe the results, I am beyond thrilled!! One session and I feel like I never even smoked. No cravings, no withdrawal symptoms, the smell is awful! I have a family history that had me fearing for my future health, and I know that this process has given me a certain peace of mind towards it.I can not thank you enough Bob, it was a very enjoyable and successful session!

I met with Bob 3 times in September because I was at an all time low and wanted to lose weight. Since those sessions I have continued to listen to the sessions he sent me and I have lost close to 20 lbs. I am very grateful for his help in getting me on the right track to a healthy life style. I still have 45 lbs. to go but I know I will make it.

If you are willing to have an open mind please do not hesitate to go see Bob Pargament. I was hesitant at first but I immersed myself in the sessions. Bob taught me to control my breathing and it truly helped me in my quest to relax while behind the wheel of the car. I am more confident in my driving than ever before. He takes a personal approach in helping and it really has helped me. I have more work to do but I can honestly say that I see the light at the end of the tunnel.

Thanks to Bob I haven’t smoked in 10.5 years!!! What an absolute gift! Shortly after I stopped smoking, I got engaged, married and had my children. No stinky cigarettes on my wedding day but more importantly, my kiddos have never known me as a smoker. I had wanted to quit for years and even managed to do so once by myself but sadly I went back. Bob helped me to tap into what I really wanted which was to be a non-smoker for life. This is priceless.Now I’m back for motivation and I can truly say I’m confident I will get where I want to go with Bob’s guidance. He has an amazing ability to make mountains seem like molehills. Thank you!

I smoked between a pack and a pack an a half of cigarettes a day and after one session with Bob, Im now a nonsmoker. I have absolutely no desire to smoke, I great and I owe it all to Bob, a true professional.

Amazing experience! Bob is a master of his art! The benefits of hypnosis for health and mindset are tremendous. I was able to get into a deep meditative state almost immediately as the session began. Its a great way to change subconscious patterns that run our lives to something that will better support and manifest what we truly want. Cant wait for my next session!

In November of 2006 I stepped into Bobs office, slipped into his comfortable lounge chair and proceeded to listen to and experience the most soothing voice and relaxed feeling I have ever known. My mission was to stop smoking after 53 years of addiction. And not feeling up to snuff from all my inhaling poison. Fast forward to November 1, today, 2016 ten years later, still smoke free, 10 years older, alive and well. Bob is a true pro who I feel I owe my life to. He is the ultimate pro in his field...if I could do it, so can you. DO NOT PROCRASTINATE...it works. Just do it....you will be so proud of yourself and so grateful you took the steps to make your life better and healthier. He has become my good friend and my hero!

My experience with Bob was incredible. I have a fear of speaking in public and went to see Bob after reading great reviews. I am taking a new position at work that requires speaking in public. After meeting with Bob he made me feel comfortable and put me at ease. He spoke clearly and softly and got me to a place where I saw myself giving presentations as if I had been doing it for years. After leaving his office a few days later I had to go to a meeting for my new position where I sat at a round table of people I did not know. At no point was I nervous, sweating, hot or anxious. I feel comfortable, confident and spoke up in front of people I never met before as if I knew them the entire time. After one session I can honestly say the man has cured me. I continue to recite a line he gave me to make me feel at ease and it helps to relax me. I give him Five stars and I am so grateful he was able to help me. Thank you Bob.

I first went to bob back in January, to work with him on my confidence in sales. My business was on a downward spiral, due to the fact that I wasn’t able to convert leads that were coming in, into active clients. I had done hypnotherapy in the past with other hypnotherapists and never truly had the full benefits from it.Bob put me into Hypnosis, and even by the end of our first session, I was feeling amazing. He worked with me on my Confidence all around, and taught me new tactics I could use within myself to help better my business.Fast forward to now (May of 2019) and I just had the best month I’ve ever had sales wise, in my business, and it still continues to grow by the day. Everything began changing for the better toward the end of January, and it is now to the point where I am confident going into every new consult that I have. I can’t even begin to thank bob enough, for the impact that he has had on the growth of my business!

I was referred to Bob by my primary care physician, who knew I had been going through some rough patches in my life. His daughter had seen Bob, with great results. My first reaction was, hypnosis, really? Despite my skepticism and after doing some research and conferring with friends, I found out it was more common and legitimate than I thought. So, I contacted Bob and decided to give it a try.Bob was sensitive and understanding, and good at putting me at ease. He made me feel comfortable and secure; and was patient and detailed in his explanations. He has been doing this for a long time, his knowledge runs deep, and he is truly gifted at what he does. I was struck by his passion and love for what he does. He is dedicated to elevating the hypnosis modality. As a leader is his field, he strives to increase understanding and appreciation of hypnosis and its benefits, as well as excellence in its practice.I saw Bob for weight loss and job interview anxiety, as well as overall self-confidence. I have lost approximately 25 pounds and recently received 2 job offers after two years of job searching. In addition, those around me have commented on how I seem calmer, more centered/focused, less stressed and more confident. I could not have asked for better results, and I am grateful for Bob’s help and that I made the choice to seek it out.Finally, I found my sessions with Bob to be extremely enjoyable. Though he has many clients and a very busy and in-demand practice, he takes the time to truly get to know you and is responsible to your unique individual questions and concerns. He is also just an all-around joy to be around and work with. Warm, smart and funny, good to talk to, and just generally a down to earth and likeable person.I don’t often write online reviews but wanted to highly recommend Bob because of how terrific the experience has been. Go with Bob, you won’t regret it.

Bob helped me quit smoking after just one session. I haven’t smoked in 7 months and counting and now confidently can say I’m a non smoker after 23 years of smoking.Bob does a terrific job! I highly recommend Bob and his services to anyone and everyone.

Bob is a master at hypnosis. He spends the time to really understand your particular struggle. He doesnt give you cookie-cutter therapy, no matter how common your issue may be. Bob truly listens to you, and his messages get right to your core and liberate you in a way that no self-help book, daily affirmation, or mindfulness practice ever could. Its immediately obvious that he genuinely cares about his clients and their progress.

After a long, arduous journey, I am finally preparing to graduate with a doctoral degree in Health Education. Bob’s expertise in hypnosis was instrumental in getting me through several critical phases of my program. His tailor made sessions helped me to prepare and sit for a six-hour exam, present my dissertation proposal, and most recently to pass my oral defense. His creative and gentle approach allowed me to reduce my anxiety and build my confidence. I am very grateful to Bob for making these challenging times less stressful and actually enjoyable.

Visited Bob years ago, was an amazing impact on my life. Professionally the best of the best, and personally one of the best people I have ever had the privilege to meet and be guided by. A man that truly cares about the well being of the people that come to see him as well as people around him.

Bob helped me out with my anxiety. He genuinely cares and went above and beyond in helping me! I feel more at ease after seeing him. There are so many areas in life that he can help.. would like to work with him on some other aspects in the future.

Bob is a great hypnosis! I went to him for smoking and stress relief in November 2013. Right after I left that first session I literally threw my last pack of cigarettes out the window and havent touched one since! (Smoked a pack and a half a day!) He helped me with relaxing and stress and helped my attitude become more positive and stress free at some points. I highly recommend him! And Im going back myself for a tune up of being positive and more motivated! Cant thank him enough!!

Bob is a talented hypnotherapist who helped me immensely. I went to him for three sessions, and I found the experience valuable and insightful.I went to Westchester Hypnosis in January of 2015. My one session focused on the ability to stop eating desserts and sweets. I do not have weight issues, so this was not weight-related; however, once I ate sweets, I couldnt stop. Therefore, it was more of a health issue. After one 1.5 hour session, I have not had a dessert since. It has been almost six months. I do eat 70% dark chocolate, a couple of squares a day, but Im no longer consuming the garbage I once did. The big kicker for me was gum. I was a gum-aholic. I have not had a piece of gum since that session. Granted, giving up the gum was the hardest part. I fought my cravings for a month. In very few instances, Ive tasted sweets, for example, my fiance nagging me to try his amazing dessert :) but in every instance, I was grossed out. The food was too sweet and I had no desire to eat more. I also have no desire to eat sweets or desserts when put in front of me or offered to me.I hope, in the future when Im ready, to give up unhealthy carbohydrates. We did try to cover this in one session, but I feel I wasnt ready to conquer this goal. I personally believe if you are ready to commit to a major change in your life, the hypnosis will work.I also went to Bob for a personal issue. Its definitely improving and I am happy with the results. Again, to drastically improve to the point of full satisfaction, I will have to do more work on myself.Overall, I highly recommend Bob. He is an absolute treasure who has helped so many people, including me.

I just had my last of three sessions with Bob to address my growing anxiety over night driving, as well as driving on busy thruways, over bridges and through tunnels. Using hypnosis, Bob helped me to rediscover a place of calm while driving which has already made a difference in my life. I am thrilled that I went to him. Thank you Bob!

Met with Bob Pargament a few weeks ago and the experience was awesome, he is a superior hypnotist and has worked wonders for me already. He helped me reset my brain to the way it should be for my weight loss success. Thanks Bob, for a renewal of a good life. Dan

Both my dad and I went to Bob to overcome our anxieties and unwanted habits. He is such a pleasant man, and genuinely cares about helping you overcome whatever it is you would like to achieve. I went to him for 3 sessions and already feel such a positive change. I would absolutely recommend him to anyone seeking help to overcome any habbits or anxieties or anything, really. Hes also just a wonderful person to talk to.

Chronic Fatigue: for over twenty years I suffered from fatigue. Exercise, although every physician recommended it, was my greatest enemy, I am middle aged, thin and as a youth engaged in vigorous sports. But over the past 20 years there was no exercise on the planet that I could do without collapsing in the bed for days. I knew this had to be all psychological. If I did 5 lbs of bench pressing I would be fatigued for days. If I walked half a mile I would be exhausted for days.No matter how many physicians told me I was perfectly healthy, and no matter how many exercise and sports therapists told me that my problem made no sense at all, I could not improve - until I met Bob.Seeing Bob was transformative. In a few sessions, I began lifting weights and jogging again - with no fatigue! Bobs hypnosis works, and in my case it worked a miracle.I found Bob twenty years late. Dont make my mistake. Once your physician says your problem is not medical, please see Bob. You will thank me and yourself!HR

I cant say enough about my sessions with Bob. I had never done hypnosis before and I was skeptical. Well that all changed after the first session. Through Bobs professionalism I easily went into a deep relaxed state. We worked on depression and anxiety at first. Later we worked on weight loss and overall well being. I have never felt so relaxed and balanced in my entire life. My eating habits have noticeably changed for the better. I dont let things bother me like I used to. I also have not experienced any depression or anxiety. I see this as maintenance treatment and will definitely be back for more. Thanks Bob!

I had smoked for nearly 35 years and had attempted to quit by various methods but nothing worked. Someone recommended Bob Pargament of Westchester Hypnosis so I decided to give it a shot. Now over 4 years later, I am smoke free. The smell of cigarettes makes me sick to my stomach and I have no desire to smoke at all. Bob is a life saver and I will be grateful to him forever for giving me back my life. If you want to quit, this is the best, easiest and most successful way to go. I have recommended many people to him, all of which have had the same outcome. Thank you Bob!!!

I first contacted the Westchester Hypnosis Center on the advice of my doctor. For many years, I had suffered from a debilitating gagging reflex from the back of my throat. I went to doctor after doctor--all to no avail. The only thing that seemed to alleviate the gagging was continuously sucking on candies, which created many other problems.I had 3 sessions with Bob Pargament. He put me into a state of deep relaxation, and then spoke to me about my throat. After just the first session, I noticed a radical drop in my urge to gag....and this painful sensation has hardly come back since! What a wonderful relief!But even more important was the feeling of profound calm that I felt after each session...and that I can reproduce on my own at home using techniques that Bob taught me. I cant overemphasize the wonderful feeling of emotional smoothness and also the mental clarity and sharpness that I can attain through the exercises that I do at home.Im now planning on sending other family members to Bob.M.B.

I was suffering from panic attacks and going to a psychologist for about 1 year. Bob helped me in the first session to control my panic attacks and to learn to calm myself. I felt very happy after the session like a new person. My panic attacks are gone. And even when they suddenly try to show up I know how to control it. I will always be thankful to Bob. He has helped me with my anxiety and has empowered me by teaching me self hypnosis.My first visit had the purpose for loosing weight but we did that and most Importantly we treated my panic attacks, second session was exclusively for weight control I didnt remember too much of the first hypnosis but I do remember I was eating half my plate and feeling full easily. The third session I decided to use was to boost my self esteem. I will strongly recommend to do in hypnosis and if you are unsure as you probably are read more and do some rresearch. I have lost weight, got rid of the panic attacks and most importantly boost my self esteem. Thank you Bob so much

Bob Pargament is a lifesaver! I had been smoking for 20 plus years and had tried virtually everything to quit, including a different hypnotherapist, to no avail. I desperately wanted to quit but I just couldnt do it. Then, one of my doctors referred me to Bob and I thought well it cant hurt! After one session with him I not only quit but I did it painlessly. No nicotine withdrawals, no obsessing over it. I just became a non-smoker. And that was over 2 years ago! Bob, I cant thank you enough! Youre amazing!

I highly recommend Bob, he was amazing and helped me feel like myself again.

I met Bob 4 years ago off of a recommendation from a friend. I was smoking 2 packs of cigarettes a day and wanted this horrible 17 year old habit out of my life. After just 1 session, I never picked the habit back up again. Given how successful it was, I chose to work with Bob on other parts of my life I was looking to improve. I have recommended multiple friends to see Bob for different reasons and they are all just as happy with their results.Whether its related to focus issues, smoking, weight loss, nervous habits, etc. Bob will develop a session specific to your needs and work with you to end the bad habits quickly and easily. I would highly recommend him to anyone for any habit.

Simply the best! I am so grateful for Bob Pargament. He helped me and my husband quit smoking, for years now. All it took was 2 sessions each, and we were able to move entirely past the nasty habit. After years of failed attempts (cold turkey, E-Cigarettes, Nicotine patches, etc.) we decided to try something new after learning about Westchester Hypnosis Center and we couldnt be happier with our choice. We have shared Bobs services with so many people for various bad habits (smoking, eating habits, nail biting, etc.) and all of which had great success! Thank you, Bob! You saved our lives :)

When you work with something new like hypnosis you want to feel comfortable and know that the person who is helping you really cares - and that is definately Bob. He is a great listener and able to extract and condense your thoughts and feelings in a positive and professional manner. However, what I think what Bob really does best is to take your problems/issues and create wonderful symbols and metaphors for positive affirmations. He makes it extremely easy to go into a state of amazing relaxation - and then he creates scripts that are truly wonderful, encapsulate what you discussed with him, and powerful affirmations that go directly to heart of what you need. In addition, he shares the MP3 versions of the sessions so you can use them yourself. This really helped me to deepen and more quickly get into a state of relaxation for each session. Ultimately, he is a kind and caring person and has a special gift in connecting to people quickly and getting to the core of their problems. Plus he takes the time to explain things to you and calls to check up on you. I was very lucky to have found him - he made a tremendous difference in my life.

I had a terrible habit that was not life threatening such as smoking but for over 50 years there was something that I did pretty much unconsciously. Nail biting! Terrible habit and even though I was not a hand model, I was very aware of how bad my hands and nails looked. Over the years I tried those ointments that tasted terrible if I put my fingers to my mouth. Nothing worked. I had heard about Bob through someone who had stopped smoking and I figured if someone could stop smoking, maybe I can stop nail biting. I made the appointment and met with Bob to see if he thought he could be of help. I was extremely skeptical listening to him as he explained the procedure and explained what actuall happens when one is hypnotized . He was very confident that I would stop nail biting even though I wasnt . Well its almost been six weeks and I have not bitten my nails . Im in total disbelief, Im still a month away from maybe a manicure (lol). I cant explain it but then again, Im more than happy with the results. On a personal note, I hit it off right away with Bob. I think we spoke longer about things before he put me under than the actual hypnotizing . I felt as if I have known him for years. A guy you want to have a beer with. I told him I would text him a photo of my hands on Jan 1, 2017. He also told me he can help me with my golf game so I intend on going back to see him in the spring. If you are skeptical the way I was, go for it. Hes an amazing guy

I bit my nails for as long as I could remember… easily for more than half my life. Over the years, I tried all the usual ways to quit (regular manicures, bad tasting nail polish, bandaids on my fingers), but nothing worked for more than a few months, and then the cycle would begin again. One day I l noticed my kids had their fingers in their mouths and it was in that moment I knew I needed to finally rid myself of this habit that had taken over my life, before it also took over theirs. That’s when I reached out to Bob Pargament for help. Now, after only four hypnosis sessions, not only do I no longer bite my nails, I don’t even think about biting them… I don’t even nibble at the cuticle! As a lifelong nail biter, it’s so exciting and liberating to know that my hands are finally “free”- I’m finally “free”- of this habit that took decades to break. Thank you Bob!

Bobs hypnosis was not only effective in freeing me of a phobia I have been experiencing for the past 10 years, but his genuineness and his passion made for a most remarkable experience. Thank you Bob.

Bob knows his stuff. He will get you to where you need to go.

I was a bit skeptical of using hypnotism for weight loss but after doing some research I took the leap and contacted Bob. We had a very thorough over the phone consultation that left me happy that I called and excited to meet Bob and see what hypnosis was all about.My first session was a little over three weeks ago (one of three) and I am SO happy with the results. I want to lose some weight and I know my weakness and whats stopping me...my sugar addiction...and bing eating/drinking. I never thought I would be able to control my urges but hypnosis has changed everything ! To be honest, I havent completely cut out sweets. Ill have small desert here and there but I dont over indulge by any means. I have learned to make healthier choices without any struggle and I eat to fuel my body I dont eat just to eat anymore. Its like an extra voice in my head that keeps me under control. I could go on and on about how my habits have changed for the better but Ill stop here.One (of the many) added benefits of hypnosis is how is helps with anxiety, also. When Bob said that my anxiety would lessen even tho the sessions were about weight loss, I didnt believe it, but it sure did! I am so much calmer, optimistic and happy overall. Not only do you get to be hypnotized and reach a level of relaxation youve never hit before...but bob sends you files to listen to so you can reach that state at home.I recommend bob 100 percent...ohhh and yes, I have already started losing inches and pounds!

Wonderful experience working with Bob. Used the techniques he taught me to be able to travel stress free! Changed my life for the better!!

If youre serious about changing a bad habit - call Bob. Im grateful for walking into his office 30 days ago. He was able to help me reduce a key stressor in my life, and can do the same for you.

After my 1st session with Bob, he shared a relaxation tape with me to help at home. In the recording there was a part that spoke about reorganizing and de-cluttering your life. At the time I listened but didnt really hear & remember. 2 days after I heard that piece I cleaned out every closet and cabinet in my home, something Ive been wanting to do for some time. When I listened to the recording the 2 nd time I heard the part referring to the organizing of your life & it immediately caught my attention ( I silently laughed). This was an extra bonus because it had nothing to due with why I went to Bob in the 1 st place. Bob is caring, passionate & really makes you relax while in his office. I love the fact that you can take the audio home for future help & reinforcement.What I love about him the most for me, was he is extremely knowledgeable of nutrition, health & well being on a homeopathic natural level. This was key for me due to my sugar addiction that Im trying to control & my autoimmune disease that was directly being affected in a negative way from the consumption of sugar.

Having had an extremely challenging year battling stage 3 breast cancer, I was left with a body riddled with pain and problems. A friend suggested hypnosis to help manage the pain of the treatments and surgery. I went to see Mr. Pargament with high hopes but low expectations. I admit, I was a skeptic. Boy was I wrong! After just one session I have felt a vast difference. My chemotherapy regimen included a drug called Taxol which in a lot of cases causes neuropathy (nerve death) in your hands and feet. I had completely lost feeling in my finger tips and toes. After my first session I got feeling back in my fingertips! It was incredible! I was able to touch my daughters face and feel her warm cheeks. It wasnt even the area we were concentrating on. I also had improvement in managing my pain and discomfort, the area we were concentrating on. I could not be more thrilled with my experience and hope more people will seek Bobs help. He is a true gift!

My visit a few months ago at the westchester hypnosis center was for smoking. I had tried many other options to quit this habit in the past, with no success. My visit with Bob, was my last resort. I had reluctantly agreed to keep the appointment that a friend had made for me at the center. They had also gone for smoking and promised me, this would be my last and final attempt, because it would work. When I first was introduced to Bob, I felt very comfortable, and immediately trusted him, I figured if all else fails, at least this was not uncomfortable. After spending 2 hours in his office, feeling very at ease, I thought, I have a pack of cigarettes in my car, perhaps I will have one last one when I leave. Bob walked me to the door, asked me how I felt about the experience. I explained that I was oddly at ease, but dont think it worked, he smiled and said lets see. If you feel that it didnt come back for a complimentary session in 2 weeks. I was thinking, I definately have to.. Driving home in my car, I thought, maybe I will have that cigarette after dinner. Dinner came and went, I went to bed, woke the next morning, went about my day and all of a sudden realized, OH MY GOSH! I didnt smoke, and didnt want to. I can honestly say that Bob has saved my life, not only have I not had a cigarette, I do not have the urge to smoke, and most importantly, I felt like I never was a smoker. I highly recommend Bob

Just two sesions with Bob completely changed my life!For over 20 years, I had been severely claustrophobic...even looking inside an elevator caused me to have major panic attacks and anxiety. I have always avoided any situation in which I needed to go on into tight spaces - elevators, bathrooms without windows, MRI machines, etc. When my friend asked me to be a bridesmaid at her wedding in Las Vegas, that was going to be located on the 64th floor, I knew somthing had to be done and I couldnt wait any longer.Bob was highly recommended by one of my cousins and I decided to give him a try. Although extremely skeptical about hypnosis, I met with Bob and was pleasantly surprised. He really seemed to understand what I was going through and the feelings I had towards my claustrophobia. I was still not a believer even as I was being hypnotized. The minute I opened my eyes, I wanted to go into an elevator. I wasnt ready to ride by myself, so Bob came along with me and we rode the elevator up and down, up and down, something I never thought I would be able to do. Bob was so patient with me that day.The second time I was hypnotized, Bob was just as kind, considerate, and as understanding as he was during my first session. The only difference this time was that I was completely ready to ride the elevator by myself and thats just what I did. Bob really gave me the confidence I needed to accomplish this goal.Because the wedding was three weeks after my second session, I was a bit nervous thinkig it wouldnt work because too much time had passed. To my amazement, I was able to travel to the wedding, use the bathroom on the airplane, and take the elevator solo to the 64th floor! One of my biggest accomplishments yet!I tell everyone about what Bob did for me. This gift he gave me has completely changed my life forever....oh all the possibilities!I wholeheartedly recommend Bob. He is an expert at his craft and an amazing human being.
