Chana Yanina Kittner, C.Ht's style

Why Chana Yanina Kittner, C.Ht chose to be in the helping profession

I chose this profession because I wanted to go deeper than just talking. I wanted to speak the language of the subconscious, where these patterns actually live and take shape. Through my work with hypnotherapy, I help you connect with that part of your mind and gently show it a better, kinder way to keep you safe without holding you back. It’s not about fighting yourself or trying to override what’s there, but about understanding it and working with it in a way that feels supportive and natural.

There is nothing more meaningful to me than watching someone finally realize their mind isn’t the enemy, it’s simply been doing its best with the script it learned. When that shift happens, everything begins to open up in a different way. My role is to help you bridge that gap between your inner world and the life you’re meant to live, so they no longer feel at odds with each other. Together, we create space for lasting change that feels aligned, empowering, and truly your own.

Chana Yanina Kittner, C.Ht's approach

My approach is rooted in the belief that your subconscious mind is your most powerful ally, even when it feels like it’s working against you. In our sessions, I use hypnotherapy to move beyond the noise of everyday thoughts and speak directly to the deeper part of your mind, where habits are formed and healing begins. This is where real, lasting change happens, not by forcing anything, but by working with the part of you that’s already trying to protect and guide you. Together, we begin to shift those patterns in a way that feels supportive, natural, and aligned with who you are.

I help clients navigate the complexities of insomnia, anxiety, and deep-seated fears by quieting the mental chatter that keeps them stuck and restless. We gently uncover the roots of self-sabotage and begin to transform those internal barriers into something you can actually build on. For those struggling with weight loss, persistent cravings, or unwanted habits, our work focuses on recalibrating your relationship with yourself so that healthier choices feel sustainable rather than forced. It’s about creating change that lasts because it comes from within, not from pressure or willpower alone.

I combine evidence-based techniques with a deep respect for our Jewish values, bringing both structure and meaning into the work we do together. Whether I’m working with a child’s imagination or drawing on a senior’s life experience, I meet each person exactly where they are and tailor the process to fit them. There is no one-size-fits-all approach here, only a thoughtful and responsive one that honors your individuality.

We don’t just manage symptoms. We tap into your inner resources and begin to replace old, tired patterns with new, positive scripts that actually support the life you want to live. I’m here to guide you through that process with care and compassion, helping you reconnect with a sense of peace and possibility that may have felt out of reach for a long time.

What you can expect from sessions with Chana Yanina Kittner, C.Ht

In our sessions, we begin by discovering how your unique mind receives information, what I call your “Suggestibility.” This gives me a clear sense of how to shape my words so they truly resonate with you, rather than just staying at the surface. From there, we gently move past the “Critical Filter,” the part of the mind that often keeps old habits in place even when you’re ready for something new. The process is calm and natural, allowing your mind to become more open without ever feeling forced or uncomfortable.

You can expect to enter a state of deep, peaceful relaxation where your body is at rest, yet your mind remains aware, focused, and engaged in the changes you want to make. In that space, we use guided imagery and affirmations to begin rewriting old scripts in a way that feels aligned and meaningful. For some, this work is deeply transformative, and for others, it can simply be a place to rest and reset. If you are here just for relaxation, hypnotherapy can truly feel like a “soul massage,” offering a sense of calm that reaches far beyond the surface.

My goal is not only to guide you during our sessions, but to give you the tools to continue this work on your own. I teach self-hypnosis in a way that feels approachable and empowering, so you can return to that same sense of peace whenever you need it. Long after our work together is done, you’ll be able to support your own progress and stay connected to the changes you’ve created.

Chana Yanina Kittner, C.Ht's experience working with the Jewish community

While I’m deeply rooted in the Milwaukee Jewish community, I’ve been fortunate to support people far beyond my own zip code. Through Zoom, I work with clients across the USA, Europe, Eretz Yisroel, and Australia, bridging the distance to bring this work right into your home. What matters most to me is that no matter where you are, you still feel that sense of connection and care. Distance doesn’t have to be a barrier to meaningful, personal work.

I understand the unique heart and values of our community, and I’m grateful that technology allows us to stay connected in such a real way. Whether you’re around the corner or across the ocean, I aim to create a space where you feel truly understood and comfortable showing up as you are. This work is deeply personal, and it’s important that you feel supported every step of the way. No matter the time zone, we make it work in a way that feels accessible, consistent, and aligned with your life.
