Most helpful and serene hours ever spent.
by ELevinson
One of the most helpful, interesting and serene hours I have ever spent. Wonderful experience.

Fast, direct, easy and efficient.
by DocDoc
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.

Memorable experience!
by StefLl
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.

amzaing hypnotist
by juliette c
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.

Best Value I've Had In A Long Time!
by Angie 81
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!!

The Best Professional Hypnotist
by spicee
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.

Nancy is an angel!
by MJSunny
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!)

Remarkable experience!
by JRodzinski
I too had some remarkable experiences with Nancy Donenfeld. Right when I was at my “lowest” point desperate to make a change, I took the higher path and sought help from her. I was very stubborn and I refused to listen to any of my friends who encouraged me profusely to go see a therapist for my depression and general anxiety. I just couldn’t stand the fact that I’d have to be in therapy for most of my life, but I thought I had no choice…I had to find someone to help me immediately – someone with a lot of knowledge and experience. After doing some research online (the internet is amazing) I found Nancy Donenfeld. The incredible reviews and testimonials written about her and the well written content of her website inspired me to make an appointment. They all proved to be true! It took 5 sessions to get me out of the “rut”. I never would have imagined it to be so rapid and effective especially for someone with such deep issues as myself. Her office up on the 30th floor is like serene. I never felt as relaxed and content in my life as I felt during and after our therapy sessions. I don’t know what her secret is but I can see why so many of her patients love her. She really helps you make the changes you want. She keeps everything positive and in the present and all the “negativity” and “doubt” seems to vanish. My entire experience with her was a remarkable one.

Nancy is amazing!
by Merrymary37
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’s a choice. Nancy gave me a full 60 minute hour, rather than the 45 minute “hour” that others do. I appreciated the fact that she also didn’t have me filling out forms and squandering away time speaking with secretaries and “assistants”. She is available to you. She has always answered her own telephone and spoken with me. I appreciate that too. Throughout our 2 sessions, Nancy made me feel as though I was the most important person alive. Time didn’t exist. I’ve made so much progress because of those 2 sessions so the cost was absolutely well worth it. Her voice is great and I’m so glad she made a recording of part of our session. I have listened to it often. I can highly recommend Nancy to anyone.

Nancy is most sympathetic.
by RR43
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!!!
