Biography for Arolyn Burns, C.Ht., M.A., M.F.T.

Arolyn Burns is the Director of The A Treatment Center. She is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist as well as a Certified Hypnotherapist. She works with people experiencing stress and anxiety from issues ranging from personal relationships, at home, work and school to performance anxiety with entertainment professionals (auditions and performances).

Using her psychotherapeutic skills combined with her hypnotherapy training she is extremely effective when working with people suffering from social phobias, fear of public speaking, performance anxiety, panic attacks, general anxiety and specific phobias. She enjoys watching clients bloom from wallflowers into confident, assertive individuals. She is welcoming to her clients, and allows them to feel safe, as she listens and empathizes with their needs. Arolyn is able to identify blocks, fears, and negative associations quickly, which allows her to work effectively getting impressive results.

She specializes in working with clients who are experiencing Stress and Anxiety. She has watched numerous clients achieve success in taking exams such as The BAR, the MFT exam and other standardized tests. She has helped clients achieve career success, learn anger management skills, work through abuse issues, enhance their self-esteem, quit smoking, manage their weight, and find deep relaxation through hypnosis and other techniques. Clients have overcome trauma issues ranging from sexual abuse to personal and natural disasters (Arolyn volunteered at the Cajun Dome in Louisiana after hurricane Katrina).

Many have learned forgiveness and are now free from the burden of holding onto the past in a negative way. She says; "It's amazing to watch my clients grow and be free from the weight of the past".

Arolyn has a passion for helping individuals realize their dreams, conquer their fears and improve their self-esteem. Her experience as a psychotherapist coupled with her training as a hypnotherapist grants her the ability to work with a broad range of clients. She attributes her success in this industry to listening to the client, understanding deep rooted associations, the practice of prayer and being able to incorporate a variety of mediums to help the conscious mind be stronger than subconscious desires.
