About

“My intention is to assist each individual in strengthening their connections with themselves at a soul level and to support them in creating a life path that is fulfilling on a personal level as well as one which brings their unique gifts into our interconnected world.”

Ewa Litauer, M.Ed., M.A., CCHT Certified Clinical Hypnotherapist

Before becoming a Hypnotherapist in 2001, she worked as an individual and group psychotherapist in various settings, including college and community counseling centers, shelters and day treatment facilities.

Ewa brings a trans-personal approach to her therapy and teaching work and believes in assisting her clients to develop the tools they need to heal themselves. Compassionate, respectful and caring, she has the ability to put her clients at ease supporting them in exploring all aspects of their deep selves. Using intuition, creativity, and gentle humor she inspires her clients to tap into their own creative, intuitive sources. She draws on various systems of energetic healing, spiritual and meditative practices blending them into a unique model of empowerment toward each individual’s full potential.

Ewa offers private sessions to adults, children, and adolescents, individuals and couples. She warmly welcomes people with alternative lifestyles, from multi-cultural and diverse backgrounds, and various spiritual orientations.
