“I recently had a Strategy Session/Consultation with Joe Onesta. It was very successful, and Joseph is quite friendly, professional, and a good listener. I am looking forward to seeing him for a more in depth session.” Bob M.

“Hi Joseph. We did it! Two weeks ago, after our last session, I had a successful needle stick and MRI. No pinch thanks to lidocaine/prilocaine and anxiety almost undetectable thanks to you. The words that you whispered into my subconscious mind with the most soothing voice I’ve ever heard are very powerful. Many thanks.” Kathy N.

“Joseph is the best. He is kind, genuine and a very good listener. He truly cares. He is in this business for all the right reasons. Not just for the money. I found him to be very helpful. I am now able to relax and I never slept better.” Janet E.

He is a really thoughtful, conversational, and professional hypnotist. He made me feel really comfortable during our sessions, and this allowed me to really let go as I listened to his voice and I think that aided me in being able to be hypnotized. After each hypnotism session, I felt refreshed and insanely relaxed. I felt hopeful and that my goals for myself are within my reach. I really believe that what you think dictates your reality and by changing your thoughts you change your reality. I think his services are invaluable. In regards to the office...immaculate, the chair that I sat in was comfortable, he even had bottles of water for us clients, and a place to plug my ever-fast dying cell phone in. I would love to work with him again. Kiki R.

“I worked with Joseph getting help with sleep and health issues. I rate him one of the best. I've worked with several hypnotherapists, including those who teach other hypnotherapists and write books on hypnotherapy. Well, Joseph does that too along with giving presentations at hypnotherapy conferences for hypnotherapist professionals. Joseph's specialty is working with diabetics, cigarette smokers, and those in need of weight loss. His publications focus on helping diabetics reclaim their lives even to the point of no longer needing diabetic medications. What I particularly like about Joseph as a hypnotherapist is his patient and thorough manner and his soothingly calm voice. I can't emphasize enough how important is a hypnotherapists voice and soothing manner is as one goes into the deep relaxation required for effective suggestions that will cause the lifestyle changes one desires. Finally, I worked with Joseph on Zoom. I recommend this medium for those at a distance and for those wanting to maintain social distancing during Covid.” Ron. L.

“Joseph is a person of endless kindness and wisdom. He is an amazing therapist, very easy to work with, and I found our sessions to be very helpful.”

“I scheduled several sessions with Joseph to work on sleep and health issues. Joseph is tops. I know this because I have worked with at least five other others over the years and I have liked Joseph best. Whatever your issue, you can be helped.” —TA

“A very successful visit for the MRI this morning. I used a blindfold for additional support. I replayed our session last night and without question it was a valuable resource in helping me overcome my fears. Once again, thank you so much.” —RC

“My Son went to Joe to help with his anxiety of leaving for college. Joe was very kind and compassionate and his technique really work. He would go out of his way to make appointments to suite our schedule. Joe really make you feel welcome the first time you meet him.” —TG

My hypnotherapy sessions with Joseph far exceeded my expectations. Joseph was personable, compassionate, knowledgeable, professional, and focused on tailoring each session to me as an individual. I felt both comfortable and relaxed in each of my sessions. Through my weekly work sessions (4) with Joseph and his daily supportive text messages, I was able to kick a 30-year smoking habit after only a few sessions. I have now been a non-smoker for nearly three weeks and I am very glad that I signed on to work with Joseph. Working with him was a phenomenal experience and one I would highly recommend to anyone contemplating hypnotherapy! —JA

Joseph is the real deal. I had gone to him after an awful experience with a hypnotist scam in Wexford (you know the place - believe he still uses pre recorded tapes)…I was looking for someone to help me with sleep (hello anxiety). First, every session is tailored to your situation and secondly, he sincerely wants to help. I’m a fan and would go to Joseph if needed again (I went for about 3-4 months on a weekly basis). —GC

I cannot say enough good things about Joseph - he is fabulous! I had never been hypnotized or done anything like it but I wanted to try it to help with anxiety. From the very beginning he was very friendly, informative, and easy to talk to. I’m sure everyone’s case is different but for me I only needed one visit before I felt I had my anxiety back under control. I’m so thankful for Joseph for helping me with a situation I could no longer handle on my own. He’s truly made such a positive change in my life. I will always highly recommend him for hypnosis! He’s amazing at his work and has a wide range of what he’s capable of helping others with. —KS

Joe is probably one of the most kind, caring, genuine insightful, and understanding men I’ve ever met. He is truly a master of his trade. I can’t recommend him enough. —FS

I went to Joseph for stress and anxiety. Joseph was upfront and professional, I really enjoyed how he describes how neurons work in your brain and offered exercises to do outside of his sessions. I'm very satisfied and continue to use his exercises to this day. —Lee Ann B.

Joseph is awesome. I originally saw him on the internet where he had two interviews. I instantly liked him. Then the phone conversation made me certain that he was the person to see. We had four sessions. My sleep has improved and I still have a ways to go but now I have the tools to work thru the insomnia. Most of all, Joseph cares. He shared his story with me and me with him. Total connection. If I get in trouble again, he will be the first person I call. —Kendra W.

“5.0…That was my A1C on Monday. I went back through my records for 6 years. During that time my lowest A1C ever was 6.8. My doctor was blown away. Me too! “ —Dave B.

I came in to Joseph looking to gain clarity of the anxieties that developed in my childhood that have persisted into my adult life. I was also looking to reduce my anxiety around public speaking and situations where I was put into the spotlight where I have felt uncomfortable. My experience far exceeded my expectations. I soon realized that Joseph was going to get to the bottom of my issues which started to gain results. Each week we continued to attack the issues and work on what needed to be worked on. This process started to open me up immediately. I was very satisfied. Joseph knows how to get the root of the problem! —Jeremy P.

I used to be a fast food addict. Sometimes several times a day! Since working with Joseph. I drive by without even thinking about stopping. —Mark P.

I had a great experience working with Joseph. He was able to help fully in my journey to quit smoking. —Craig L.

With the Hypnofasting Program, I’m off all my diabetes medications and my blood sugar levels are normal. The weight is dropping off, a bit more slowly but I’m making progress. —Barb S.

This man is great in every way! I smoked since I was 13 till 50 and just after 2 sessions I quit, no cravings or withdraw. This is fantastic I can't believe people don't rush to get help from him. All at what you can afford. He is like God sent. —Cliff A.

I didn’t even realize how anxious I was. I had rare panic attacks that seemed to come from nowhere and I had trouble sleeping. Joseph helped me see that my insomnia and the occasional panic attacks were related and he helped me work through them. I continue to do the exercises he gave me on my own and I’m getting better and better. —Janet P.

“Besides helping me to not clench my teeth for the first time in my life, you had a wide range of interests in many things including the work world ,gardening, travel, earth ships, etc. etc, which really helped with the hypnotherapy.-Thanks,” — Greg P.

“Joseph helped me quit smoking without any medication. He took the time to understand why I smoke and then developed a plan to combat that. He uses a well thought out approach over several sessions that ultimately worked for me and successfully helped me quit and stay quit.” —Dan N.

“Onesta took the time to listen to my specific concerns about my travel anxiety and made the effort to put me at ease with the hypnotherapy process and how I would also need to put in work outside of the appointment. I had worked for years with medical checkups, prescriptions and standard therapy.” —Jerry M.

I was amazed by the immediate results I had in my first hypnotherapy session. I cannot believe the physical difference in my body I felt. I knew that part of my physical issues were mentally driven, but until this I had no idea just how completely brain induced they were. I am actually looking forward to traveling on a plane now. —A. C.

“Joseph was there for a me at a very crucial and scary time of my life, when everything seemed to have fallen apart. With his help, I was able to make peace with my recently ended relationship as well as foster hope for a happy future. Joseph was generous with his time and his knowledge. I appreciated his candor, his sense of humor and his willingness to stray from convention. The alpha metronome breathing exercise was surprisingly effective!” —Tony B.

"The most relaxed and happy I've felt for years."   --Tom S.

I had been biting my nails since I was a child. It was a habit I couldn’t break. At the end of the first session, I still wasn’t sure and we scheduled another appointment that I never attended. I haven’t bitten my nails since that first meeting and now a month later, I’ve just scheduled my first ever manicure! —Kathy G.

Intimacy issues made sex almost anxious experience. I always expected that I couldn’t perform. After working though a number of session and my being real frank with Joseph, he seemed to focus in and I gradually became more relaxed about sex, more confident. Sex is more satisfying now for both me and my partner. —Robert, B.

I went to Joseph for anxiety.  It just was like an undertone in my life that I couldn't get away from.  Medication helped a little.  Working with Joseph, my anxiety is really diminished.  I feel like a normal person now.  He taught me self-hypnosis and I use it every day.  It's wonderful.   --Brenda B.

I was really having trouble sleeping.  I was tired all the time but when it came time to go to bed, I was wide awake.  Hypnosis really helped me relax and Joseph taught me some practical ways of changing my experience at bed-time.  I use self-hypnosis now to go to sleep and I'm sleeping pretty much through the night.  I feel fantastic.      --Michael M

Having tried many approaches including medication, Joseph Onesta's treatment directed at my subconscious is the most effect and noticeable change to my anxiety that I have ever experienced. I was apprehensive in the beginning, but my quality of life and day to day stability have greatly improved since finding Joseph's practice.   --Scott S

"I had a little problem, I didn't believe in hypnosis but I have to tell you that this brilliant and fascinating professional solved it right away. Great experience!"  --David V.

My husband and I recently completed the smoking cessation sessions. We have tried numerous times to quit smoking with no success. We are now almost three weeks smoke free and I feel confident that we will never go back to smoking. Our cravings for a cigarette are rare and Joseph gave us numerous tools to use to get past the cravings when they occur. We both truly enjoyed our sessions and would highly recommend him to anyone serious about wanting to quit smoking. It has truly changed our lives.  --Marj M.

I quit years ago cold turkey but went back to smoking and no matter what I did, no matter how hard I tried, I just couldn't stop again.  When I signed up for the four session package, I expected another failure but hypnosis was the only thing I hadn't tried before and I thought it was worth a shot.  I couldn't believe it.  I quit.  The thing that clinched it was this bottle of scent that every time I sniffed it, the though of smoking made me feel a little sick.  It was just the extra thing I needed.  --Eileen P

"Joseph helped me in multiple sessions for different purposes to gain control over pain and discomfort that had troubled me for over a decade. I continue to use the techniques he helped me with and set in place and they still have a positive impact on my life."     --Adam B.

I had constant pain in my feet.  Our first session was filled with tricks I could use to get relief even if it was temporary.  When it came back, I'd just do it again.  Over a several sessions, I noticed that the times without pain were getting longer.  What a relief!  --Ron P.

I hoped but after so many doctors telling me there was nothing they could do and I would have to learn to live with the discomfort, well hypnosis was a last resort.  After the first session, I noticed a change and that kept me motivated.  Seven sessions and I'm more than happy with the results.  It's like I got my life back.  --Claire M.
