Dr. Yapko welcomes you to his website and hopes you will find it both thought-provoking and helpful to you.

A Note From Dr. Yapko:

Welcome to my website. As you’ll discover, I have spent my professional life addressing the issue of making the process of psychotherapy and self-help briefer and more effective. I have particularly been interested in the many ways clinical hypnosis, a focused and relaxed experience, can be used to help people acquire and better utilize their skills and innate abilities. Developing and using skills in gathering and using information, making good decisions, coping with stress and adversity, and other such key life skills are especially important in helping manage conditions such as anxiety and depression. Many of the materials I’ve developed (books I’ve authored, CD programs I’ve developed) can help people with both information and perspective , as well as with actual skill building strategies.

Thanks for taking the time to visit. I hope you will return frequently to see new information and if you haven’t already done so, please sign up to receive my FREE NEWSLETTER.  I hope you’ll find the various sections of this website interesting and helpful to you in some way.
