Welcome!
I’m Adrianna Carlesimo — a Clinical Hypnotherapist based in Brooklyn, NY (although I work with clients all over the country/world!)
I support people who have struggled with their mental health journey in making real, lasting change - even after they feel like they've tried everything.
My intention for every client that I work with is to help them remember who they truly are beneath the layers of fear, programming, and pain: whole, peaceful, joyful, and deeply, innately worthy.
Through our work together, you can rewire limiting patterns, release emotional pain, and reconnect with your soul — allowing you to feel more confident, more at peace, and aligned with your most authentic self.
I believe deeply in the philosophy, as within, so without — that when you heal yourself, you ripple that healing into the world, and that drives the work that I do.
My Story
I spent the first 11 years of my career in the nonprofit world and tech/startups — roles that gave me valuable experience, but never felt truly fulfilling.
When the world paused during COVID, I finally listened to the knowing I had ignored for years, that I was meant to help people in a different way.
So I left my job in tech, began studying hypnotherapy, and launched my own practice. It was the best decision I’ve ever made.
Today, I get to help clients transform from within, after struggling through years of traditional healing modalities that simply weren't creating lasting change.
My own healing path has shaped every part of my work. I struggled with really debilitating social anxiety for years. CBT helped somewhat, but it wasn’t until I experienced hypnotherapy myself that I began to feel real, lasting, deep change - not only in the way I experienced the world, but also who I identified as. I finally felt at peace within my body, and comfortable within myself.
I’ve trained extensively in clinical hypnotherapy, EFT, trauma recovery, inner child healing, intuitive work, and energy healing. While hypnotherapy and guided imagery are the main techniques I incorporate — I guide intuitively, meeting you where you are, and holding space for the transformation you are ready for.
