Hello! I'm Paige Newberry. I'm 53 years old, a mother of two college-aged kids, and a mom to a fluffy, white puppy-dog, named Toby. As a 4th generation, native Austinite, I find rest and comfort in my beautiful home, gardens, and my huge family, who all still live in Austin! I am SO BLESSED TO GET TO DO WHAT I LOVE FOR A LIVING! I've been a hypnotherapist for 26 years, and in private practice as a psychotherapist for 13 years. My professional training lies in the integration of hypnosis, PTSD treatment, Attachment Therapy, Internal Family Systems (aka: "Parts Work"), CBT, and Emotionally Focused Therapy, along with Somatic Experiencing, and Neurobiology for chronic pain and trauma. I use the spiritual healing wisdom of the Sufis to reach the inner-child within ...the child whose heart was (and still is) so broken. I am honored to bring everything I know, and everything I AM, to my clients. It's a uniquely rare, and emotionally close relationship.
I can't wait to meet YOU. Schedule your FREE phone call with me HERE.
Until then,
Paige
A Unique Approach to Change and Healing -
|
People are realizing there is a more authentic way to heal. Deeper wounds cannot be reached through talk-therapy alone (that's the old paradigm.) We must heal in a multidimensional way. Somatic therapies, meditative or gentle hypnotic states, and specialized depth psychotherapies all work together to access what's lurking in your subconscious and to open the places that feel stuck.

Relational Trauma is the Leading Cause of Depression, Anxiety, OCD, PTSD and Chronic Pain/Long-Term Illness
- And you may not even realize you've had any trauma.
Many of our "blocks" come from relational trauma that happened as a child, teen or adult. Trauma can be BIG EVENTS, or teeny tiny ones called micro-aggressions. If you've ever had a painful experience or a hurtful relationship that you just can't shake - it's probably sitting in that "wrong part of your brain" that holds traumatic memory. In our work, we want to re-arrange the brain to allow those hurts to come OUT of trauma, and to integrate themselves into the proper place in the brain. To a place where they don't emotionally hijack you anymore.

Parts Work -
Also known as Internal Family Systems (IFS). We all have dozens of "parts" within us. Each of our parts developed as coping strategies in an effort to help us handle life's stressors, like abuse, trauma, neglect or CPTSD. I like to visualize these parts as living in their own separate bubbles of reality which contain their own unique sets of feelings, ideas, and beliefs about the way the world needs to work to keep us safe. You can think of them as tiny slivers of your personality... each with their own personhood that you can relate with, like little individuals. In this way, IFS is like an easy game of imagination that helps us open to our inner knowing and our intuition about our deepest selves.
Even though they may cause us to feel uncomfortable, in reality, our parts are all trying their very best to help us keep ourselves sane. There are NO BAD PARTS. Only hurt parts.
These parts need caring attention, but our instinct is to turn away from them. Actually, the opposite is needed. When we give each of our separate parts the understanding, compassion and help they need, it causes a permanent change in our subconscious selves. This leads to permanent changes in our behavior, our feelings, and our nervous systems. And often - the outer circumstances of our lives change too.

Building a Healing Bond -
During our time together, it's important for you and I to form a TRUSTING and CARING BOND. Many therapists keep a clinical, cold-feeling distance between themselves and their clients. However, I have faith in the latest research which shows that a close, trusting friendship between therapist and client brings about the best healing results. It's called ATTACHMENT-BASED THERAPY.

This Isn't Your Average Talk Therapy -
Will we talk about your stories, your history, your painful issues? Yes, of course! I'll get to know you very well. But something more than talking needs to take place in order to dig down to those really deep-seated memories and pockets of pain that keep you stuck or sick. We have to go beyond the places that traditional psychology takes you. I know of very few therapists doing this style of integrative work, but I DO know how quickly and effectively it works based on the healing outcomes of the hundreds of clients I've worked with. I facilitate this extraordinary healing work mainly through a process called PARTS WORK (or Internal Family Systems), combined together with light-trance hypnosis. Through the process, you need someone who's been around the block to hold your hand. (I believe in this healing process so much, I use it on myself in my own meditation time.)
And here's a little something extra: working with a counselor who possesses extra-sensory perception can help us see just a little bit deeper into the heart of those slippery patches you're carrying inside. Knowledge of the ancient healing arts brings another aspect of wisdom-tradition to our work.
Hypnosis -
I'll help guide you to transform your body, thoughts, and emotions through working with your HIGHER CONSCIOUSNESS. Your subconscious will always lead us where we need to go. This is not "The Paige Show", it's your show. During the hypnotic process, you're always awake and aware enough to be in control of what happens to you. You'll be able to talk with me, using vivid imagery, and sensory awareness to dive deeply, and safely into the places within that need your presence. Hypnotherapy has been used successfully for decades to unlock unconscious patterns. Clients report that it's not frightening, nor does it feel weird or foreign. It feels good! Peaceful.

My Personal Philosophy on Healing -
It is not in the development of the mind that we heal. It is in the development of our all-loving "higher-self" which opens up whole new worlds of healing. The best and fastest way to reverse neurosis or trauma is to embrace the pain within your own "love-wisdom field". It takes honest self-knowing and self-acceptance through personal growth practices... particularly within a hypnotic trance, which re-imprints or re-writes the complex and confusing web of pain. If things feel stuck or hopeless, I believe these feelings nearly always come from fear, deep down. It is my practice to never stop searching for answers when things feel stuck, because I believe that there's ALWAYS ANOTHER SOLUTION. The Universe is prolific in its abundance of answers - if only one knows how to listen. Together we'll find out how YOU are wired to hear the voice of your higher self.
Compassionately inviting a person's most tender self to safely come out of it's shell - - that's my superpower.
Spiritual Healing -
In the spiritual stream, I most often use "Quantum Healing", "Parallel Timeline jumping", and "Backwards Parts Work" to access and create new lifelines that are filled with the feelings you want. This is advanced work, and generally is done in unison with "shadow work" (clearing old pain, trauma and painful behavioral patterns.) It is my experience that the reason people don't have much success with manifestation is that they have not cleaned up what's in the way.
Using Divine Energy is one of the MOST POWERFUL ways to clear mental distortions and blocks. If you happen to be spiritual or religious, we'll bring YOUR personal beliefs into your healing journey. I'll meet you wherever you are, spiritually or religiously. I love and respect all religions and paths. I am a highly experienced past-life regressionist, and "between-lives" hypnotic regressionist (although I rarely offer those specific techniques anymore as others have proven more effective.) I use my special gifts of clairvoyance, clairaudience, and clairsentience to receive messages which will inform our sessions together, giving us that bit of an edge to obtain more information about you.

More Shifting - Less Processing
Instead of talking your feelings to death, our aim is to give you a transformative experience. Using everything that psychology has learned about the parasympathetic nervous system, we can quickly SHIFT you to a new story (accessing the part of the brain that feels things in a fresh way). We'll get you to a place where your past story haunts you no longer. We'll shift to a parallel reality where you are in charge of the choices in your life - not a victim of circumstances.
It's brave, yet loving work. Be ready to find all the places that have been hiding because of debilitating fear. Our goal is to collaborate together to find them, scoop them into our hearts, and release the pain, once and for all. If you're ready to do this deep introspective work, you will find that change WILL FINALLY COME, and freedom from inner torment can be yours.
Really GOOD Couples Counseling -
Back in the day, psychology believed that a person should "do all of her work on him/herself" before becoming romantically involved with someone else. It was thought that people should be more focused on "me" than on "we".
That was backward thinking.
Nowadays, psychologists see things very differently. Partnership is viewed as our most valuable healing resource. However, we weren't born with relational skills, and most of our parents failed to teach them to us. If a couple doesn't possess the skills for maintaining a healthy relationship, the fact is that most relationships won't survive. This is a sad state of affairs to me. I've seen what conscious relationship looks like - and it's GLORIOUS! Mastering the art of communication, navigating triggers, and using love as a medicine for a wounded heart aren't things that come naturally. We have to learn these skills - and practice them with our partner. Think of it at RELATIONAL YOGA!

Chronic Pain and Illness -
I use hypnotherapy for pain, and Somatic Therapy for neurobiological issues and pain.
How do painful memories have anything to do with our bodies? One might believe that the traumatic event(s) have been left in the past, but the body remembers. Often the body clings to unresolved issues without us knowing it, and causes symptoms like inflammation, joint issues, bone issues, painful connective tissue, chronic illnesses, emotional distress any many other complex problems.
Physical pain, illness or injury can be a manifestation of unfinished business on an emotional level. According to Bessel Van Der Kolk's work in neurobiology, the nervous system is likely holding onto old trauma in the form of discomfort in the body. This can lead a person to stay in persistent survival mode. You can think of this is as a constant bracing or tension, where the body is ready to protect itself. Often this constant bracing leads to more pain, and further injury and illness. Studies show that up to 90% of patients who experienced emotional or relational trauma in their past will experience chronic physical pain, or chronic illness later in life. Especially if the trauma or abuse was persistent.
Health studies show much more positive outcomes when counseling is used as an adjunct to a pain-management program.
The secrets of emotional mastery aren't difficult.
One just has to learn HOW.
Why Working with Me Is Unique -
My gift is to offer you with a version of the precious relationship you have always needed - the relationship that will allow your essential self to finally come forth to be known and appreciated! This is a safe and personal place where you can be your real self.

How Long will Counseling Take?
Many issues can be addressed within short-term therapy (about 12 -15 sessions, or 3 - 6 months), but more serious issues such as trauma, long-standing grief, adult relationship loss, neglect or abuse, childhood wounds, abandonment, prolonged depression/anxiety, serious marital transgressions or addictions require longer-term therapy. A good rule of thumb is that it takes one year of clinical work for every decade lived in a state of distress, pain, irresolution or dysfunction. If you want to do this work, expect it to take an average of 6 - 24 months. This is why it's important to me to offer what the vast majority of therapists don't: out-of-network insurance billing, personalized payment plans and master-level counseling at a sliding scale to help you afford therapy every single week.
This work is an investment for the happiness of your lifetime. YOUR HEALING IS IMPORTANT TO ME. If you're ready to finally see change - this is it.
