Guided Imagery Therapist Referral List
Through the years in our certification program, we have graduated over 300 individuals as Guided Imagery Therapists, and it warms our heart to know that many have continued to use the technique of imagery in their current therapy work and also, to start their own private practices. It was suggested that we provide a listing of those who have established themselves as practitioners and provide this referral page.
If the process of Guided Imagery interests you and the information on our website intrigues you, perhaps you would like to experience the process for yourself. Below is the beginning of our listing of some of our graduates who faciliate Guided Imagery. We have categorized our listing by state, and hopefully, one of these therapists would be close to you.

Broken promises, relationships, faith, spirit, self. Feeling damaged, tainted, stained. Your past does not define who you are. Your inner battle, raging between what you were taught as a child, and how you live now, can end. Because there are no adequate words for what you feel, I don’t use talk therapy. As a guided imagery specialist, I offer a soothing setting, with soft music, warm lighting and fragrant incense. In this way I know we are able to bypass the gatekeeper of your judgmental, conscious mind, and access the emotions causing your pain. While we can’t change your past, we can change the way you feel, without you having to re-live painful memories. And that changes everything. Come experience a higher level of care, with a healing touch to the soul. Please call 714.743.5612 and ask for Dr. Mickey – your local guided imagery specialist.
