I hit a low lower than I think I ever went. Somehow I came across Nancy's website, it appealed to me - very, straightforward and I called her. I had hardly ever left my apartment after I got home from work and on Saturdays and Sundays as well. Weight loss and weight gain and being overweight was a big part of my identity. With Dr. Donenfeld's kind and wise help and amazing system, so far, I have lost 40lbs in the past 7 months and I still am continuing to make progress. I'm never going back and I owe a tremendous debt of gratitude to Nancy. She did save my life, literally and figuratively. more

I saw Nancy at a time when my life was in shambles. I was unemployed for over a year and so in debt that I was behind 2 years on my loans and mortgage. It got to a point where I couldn’t afford to live normally anymore, at all. I was stuck in a huge hole. I was alone, I went from smoking 2 packs to 3 packs of cigarettes a day, I had bouts of nervousness - where I couldn’t sit still anymore (I looked like a crazy irritable person) and to top it off I became addicted to sleep meds - it got so bad that my body refused to respond to the effects of the sleep meds so I felt I needed to take more and more. Before giving up on myself, I did some thorough research, looking through and reading every review I could find in directories like Citysearch and even Superpages researching the top therapists, hypnotherapists, psychotherapists and lo and behold I came across Nancy Donenfeld. The only downside was the fact that I lived in West Virginia and I knew if I wanted someone outstanding I had to make the effort and travel to come see her. I have absolutely no regrets whatsoever. I planned a mini vacation with some money I could borrow and stayed at a cheap hotel for a weekend in order to get the help I needed to get back on track somehow. Let me tell you all out there - she is by far the best thing I have come across. Not only did I stop smoking entirely and cut my stress level and nightly amount of ambien down dramatically right away, but a little less than a month since I got back from seeing her, I was offered a full time position with a reputable company in West Virgina, where I’m from, with full benefits and very good pay. It’s like all these positive and amazing changes started to take place all at once. I would have never, in a million years thought my life would turn around so quickly in such a positive way. I’m now completely off the sleep meds and I’ve gained a tremendous amount of confidence in myself. One thing is for sure, I’ve learned to be the best money manager who’s ever walked the face of the earth and I’m a relaxed, good sleeper, non smoker at the same time!! I’m smiling an awful lot now and it’s been 2 years and I am debt free! Nancy you helped me see life from a different lens. You enabled me to do all this because of your integrity, your insight, your niceness, your skill and even your availability, (even on the weekend for me) and I cannot thank you enough for it! The best of the best! Yay! more

I got over my fear of driving in just 1 session. I was able to drive out to Pennsylvania this past summer without any anxiety or panic that some car might hit me, as I always had before Nancy. Actually, I got nervous for a moment right at first but it seemed to disappear right away. Before her, I couldn't even picture myself in the passenger seat of a car and I'm now in the driver's seat without even any of that old overwhelming panicky feeling at all! A million thanks to the greatest and most favored hypnotist! more

I was diagnosed with depression at the age of 17. The death of a very close friend of mine 5 years ago and stress at my job and my home accelerated my moroseness and depression. Lately I was always feeling tired and depressed. Waking up in the mornings for work was a total nightmare. My psychiatrist prescribed different drugs through the yrs. but none of them worked very well so then I went to Nancy who my psychiatrist advised. Within the first two sessions I saw considerable changes in my mental health and attitude. Her method enabled me to not only reduce the medication entirely, but to start to take control of my own life/moods and to feel good about myself and my life.... And it worked fast! What she said went really deep. She's been a blessing to me. I have experienced nothing but good with her and her methods. I recommend her to anyone who wants to be happier, much happier. more

I was formally a 2 pack a day cigarette smoker; NOW I'm a non-smoker after 1 session with Nancy. It has been five solid months since I left my last pack in Nancy's office. I am quite astonished by how well it worked. I recommend anyone who is willing to change their habits to go see Nancy. more

After seeing Nancy for the first time, I felt prepared to finally put an end to all the extra weight I had gained over the years as well as the intense depression I built up as a result. I never imagined what it would be like to lose weight with hypnosis so I was a little apprehensive about what to expect when I made my first appointment. Nancy put me right at ease. She has a very very nice manner about her. She walked me through her process to actually be a thin person (hence now to lose weight of course) without counting the calories. This all happened in 2 sessions. I would have never thought I'd be sitting here today, writing up a testimonial about the remarkably fast progress I made 3 months and 2 sessions later. The first week I lost 4 ? lbs. and after that my weight went straight downhill. In 3 ? months I lost a total of 42 lbs. and I went from a size 12 to a size 5. For the first time in my life I have been exercising regularly (without a trainer having to regulate me) and I am loving it. Nancy and my best friend (who also had a great turnaround with Nancy in just 1 session) really inspired me to make other necessary changes in order to live happily and healthfully in other areas too. My body, my attitude and my mental state have improved gigantically. I could not have done this alone - no chance, no way. This woman has a gift and she sure knows how to put it to good use. more

One of the most helpful, interesting and serene hours I have ever spent. Wonderful experience. Pros: null Cons: null more

Since the one session I had with Nancy Donenfeld two years ago, I became and remain a non smoker. Her program appealed to me in every way; fast, direct, easy, efficient, well thought out, and specifically modified to me, addressing my personal needs and abilities. I found it to be much better than any other program before hers that I had tried to stop smoking and failed. The recording Nancy made for me was especially helpful because I could use it any time for reinforcement. Also, I never felt that I was depriving myself at all. I'm a psychiatrist myself, and thanks to Nancy and her system, I have since stopped grinding my teeth as well. Now, I saw her again last week and I am starting to lose some weight by utilizing her system. My overall experience with Nancy is outstanding, professional, friendly and genuine. Her program is easily grasped and implemented. She orients it directly and uniquely to each patient, including myself, and I consider myself to be as hardheaded and difficult as they come. I am wholeheartedly recommending her to many of my patients when the therapy they are doing with me either isn't effective enough or rapid enough to address their needs. Working with Nancy Donenfeld is a delight. She is a wise woman indeed. The Donenfeld Method is well known and extremely highly regarded in our field, and I am personally here attesting to its speed, uniqueness, ease of implementation and lasting effectiveness.

My entire experience with Nancy Donenfeld was extremely good. I came in for major control issues. I got to a point where I felt I had lost complete control of myself and my life. I was in really bad shape. Her expertise and delivery in the area of Psychotherapy has proven to be a valuable asset to me (and I?m sure to anyone with other issues). Her office is also beautiful and silent, like an oasis and I loved going there. Not only have I gained a dramatic raise in my overall level of happiness but I?ve also so much more come to terms with myself, who I am etc. Not only that, but I am much healthier now ? over the course of time, my physical health has improved significantly because of my work with Nancy. She?s helped me in so many areas. It truly has been a wonderful and amazing experience, just as her other patients describe in these recommendations about her that I've read. In fact, I will be getting married in exactly 3 months time and going to Tahiti for my honeymoon. This all never could have happened without the work I did with Nancy. My internist recommended that I see her and I was skeptical. I'm not anymore. I'm very lucky that I found her. So much in my life has been positive since Nancy, to say the least. Pros: null Cons: null more

She changed my life! I went to see her a year ago to quit smoking and the results are just amazing! I had quit a few times before and was always feeling the urge and after a few weeks I was smoking again. But in just one session with Nancy my addiction was gone and I felt like a non smoker right away! Cigarettes are not in my life anymore! I have been really surprised to see how easy it was to quit with her method. I recommended her to a lot of my friends and colleagues who went to see her and her method worked for them too! On top of that, Nancy really put me at ease with hypnosis and it was a fantastic experience. So now I go to see her anytime I want to work on something. She's an amazing hypnotist and I highly recommend her. more

She worked a miracle on me. With Nancy's help, I stopped smoking in one session. From stopping smoking, from that session, I had no food cravings or concurrent weight gain like I always had had before, each time I had tried to stop on my own after reading a lot about stopping. Interestingly, before I saw Nancy, I had also failed to stop when I had gone to a different, also well known hypnotherapist. Nancy's program and what she said seems unique to me. She spoke about my situation and needs and attitude specifically. It very apparent that she deeply cares. I just passed my 1st year anniversary from smoking. From the moment I left her totally quiet office, I have not had a single urge to smoke. I saw Nancy on Tuesday, December 14th, 2010. It was a true pleasure to work with her and I also not only learned a lot but I think she performed a miracle on me as well. Before, I was a hard core smoker and now I love being a (thin!) non smoker and it's still easy!! Pros: null Cons: null more

Nancy Donnenfeld's approach to hynosis and her hynosis technique to help overcome barriers? is most effective, Based on my experience wth Nancy's sessions, I highly recommend her for those who are serious and commited to overcoming barriers and achieving any personal goals you have, Nancy's technique is LIMITLESS and based on my personal experience, Nancy is the best results driven proffesional in the business. more

I went to see Nancy when I was severely depressed, fearful and anxious. I never had the courage to say "no" to anyone or stand up for myself in any way. I had a people pleasing attitude and I let everyone step all over me. I harbored so much resentment and jealousy that I couldn't deal with it anymore. I was suffering through some bad relationships and my health was getting compromised. Also, my ability to concentrate was at my lowest at work and I made continuous mistakes. I was in trouble and I knew something had to change or else I'd end up on anti depressants for the rest of my life. A very close friend of mine said that I had to call Nancy Donenfeld. My life is so drastically different now compared to my former life of pain and misery that I had led and brought upon myself for such a long time that I can't even begin to describe. For the first time, I feel I can function normally, like a human being (literally). I have gained a tremendous amount of power over my own life and I feel alive. I'm SO much happier now. I've made TREMENDOUS progress from the sessions we've had and the recordings she's made. Nancy is an angel and I owe it all to her (and to myself as well, of course!) more

I too had some remarkable experiences with Nancy Donenfeld. Right when I was at my more

Nancy is amazing! In 2 sessions she got me over my aversion to exercise and got me motivated. She got me over a very unhealthy fixation on a man I know. Nancy also got me to think in healthier in a few other areas of my life. Everything more

One of the best experiences I ever had. Right from the minute I first called her, to my most recent appointment (I try to get an appt. whenever I come to town), Nancy has been sympathetic and attentive. She is kind hearted and I feel that she sincerely cares, carefully listening and responding specifically to what I'm saying. What she says has been empowering and right-on. Being up on the 30th floor, there is hardly a sound, even her telephone rings only in another room and with one barely audible ring only. I write this because I remember thinking how considerate and attentive to detail this woman is. I've been listening almost every day to the recordings she made for me because I love her voice, it's soothing, and she is saying so much to me. I often fall asleep at night listening to her voice and wake up in the morning well rested, fortified and feeling great. Never in my life have I made faster, easier progress and I owe Nancy a debt of gratitude. Thank you Nancy!!! more

I initially went to Nancy for one very specific issue but ultimately she's shed light on several others and provided some relief as well as insight into years of incredible jaw pain - and I'm only on my second visit! more

I've had some remarkable breakthroughs with Nancy. One of the things she has helped me with was to gain a huge amount of confidence in myself. Getting divorced and layed off from work really took a toll on me, to say the least. I never thought I could "piece" myself together again but with Nancy's help I was able to tap into my reserves of inner strength through the pain and to be focused and so I'm at a much better place now than before. This woman has been a blessing in disguise and I cannot thank her enough for everything she's done for me. more

Nancy's a great therapist. I just finished my 3rd session and in these 3 sessions I did with her what would've take my other therapist 10 yrs to accomplish if ever. I found Nancy to be very responsive, she didn't waste any of my time or money having me fill out forms, or trying to sign me up for a package etc. I too feel fortunate to have found Nancy. I got just what I wanted. I'm quite impressed. more
