About CalmPath

Dedicated to transforming lives through the power of clinical hypnotherapy — one subconscious shift at a time.

Our Mission

At CalmPath Hypnotherapy, our mission is to provide compassionate, evidence-based hypnotherapy that empowers individuals to overcome limiting beliefs, break free from unwanted behaviors, and unlock their full potential. We believe that the subconscious mind holds the key to profound and lasting transformation — and our role is to guide you there.

Our Story

CalmPath Hypnotherapy was founded by Dr. Katherine Wells, a clinical psychologist who witnessed firsthand the limitations of traditional talk therapy for certain deep-seated issues. After experiencing the transformative power of hypnotherapy in her own life, she dedicated her career to bringing this powerful modality to others.

What began as a small private practice has grown into a trusted center for hypnotherapy, serving hundreds of clients across Portland and beyond. Our team combines decades of clinical experience with genuine passion for helping people create the lives they deserve.

Today, CalmPath is recognized as a leader in clinical hypnotherapy, with specialized programs for anxiety, addiction, weight management, phobias, and more. Every practitioner on our team shares the same commitment to excellence, integrity, and compassionate care.
