People seek my help for a variety of challenges. Some have weight and exercise issues. Others experience insomnia, depression, infertility, loneliness, or chronic pain.
Some people seek coaching when their life’s partner or other family member is disabled, mentally or physically. They may feel too guilty to set limits, express anger, or make arrangements for respite or permanent care.
Work becomes the sore point for many: never worked, fired, or frustrated with a current job. I help clients explore their talents and dreams. Together we draft a resume and role-play before the interview.
Some clients are stuck in their financial arena: compulsive spending, getting out of debt, sharing expenses with a business or romantic partner. We look at warning signs and set up guideposts for progress.
If you’re stuck, I can help, using techniques such as coaching, role-playing, directed activities, and hypnotherapy. Feel more in control of your life. Get started today.
Testimonials
I was about to turn 30. Things were not going well in my 2-year relationship, my career was stagnant, money was tight, and I hadn’t returned to my exercise plan after an injury. Working with Candida solved one issue after another. She even helped me write a winning profile for a dating site. Thanks to her guidance by phone email, and Facebook, I am happily married (to a different guy), have moved up the management ladder, and am saving to buy our first house. – W (LA)
Dr. Candida Abrahamson totally turned my life around. When I started treatment I was an anxious, hypochondriac, having difficulty facing each day. I am now a very capable teacher, a warm and loving wife and friend and most importantly, comfortable in my own skin. Thank you Dr. Abrahamson.- S (Northbrook)

Is fear of insomnia like fear of flying–exposure-response prevention for the sleepless? Part I National Sleep Awareness Week Edit this entry
What are two major miseries of our well-off modern society? Obesity and sleeplessness. No surprise that they seem to be connected; looks like those who fail to get enough sleep are more likely to be overweight.
They’re connected in another way: for some folks, no matter what they try, nothing is effective. Behavioral treatments usually fail, and drugs have serious side effects and often fail to work on top of that. Pharmaceutical companies are working like mad to solve both woes. The company that does so will become very rich, if it’s not later sued for all profits plus penalties.
