About Delray Holistic Therapy
Originally trained as a psychologist (Ph.D. from Cornell University), Dr. David Ransen has mastered numerous areas of psychology and human development during his 32-year career. He earned a specialized graduate degree in Marriage and Family Therapy from Nova Southeastern University, the only fully-accredited program in all of Florida. Dr. Ransen earned his psychology Bachelors degree with honors from Clark University, the nation’s first graduate school, and the first to award a doctor’s degree in psychology. Teaching has always been one of his passions, and he has taught psychology at five universities, including Tulane University, The Harvard Medical School, and Cornell University. He has published numerous articles in some of the world's most prestigious professional journals, as well as informal pieces in popular publications like The New York Times and Scientific American. He is an active member in good standing of the International Hypnosis Research Institute, the American Association of Marriage and Family Therapists, and a member for many years of the American Psychological Association. Dr. Ransen was trained in individual and relationship counseling by master therapists known and respected worldwide. He is also fully certified to practice unrestricted Hypnosis and Hypnotherapy in the State of Florida. He has had outstanding success treating migraine and other headaches with hypnotherapy, as well as smoking cessation, weight loss, anxiety, panic, depression, sleeping problems, and irrational fears. Even better, Dr. Ransen can easily teach you self-hypnosis that you can take home with you and use, free of charge, whenever you feel the need, in a few relaxing minutes, without the use of drugs. This is just one of the ways in which Dr. Ransen proves that he has your best interests at heart, not the endless collection of fees.
Dr. Ransen serves clients in
and around Delray Beach, Boca Raton, Ft. Lauderdale, West
Palm Beach, and nearby communities. He usually employs a
brief, solution-focused approach.
“Brief” means weeks or possibly a few months,
but no longer. He is also board certified in
clinical hypnotherapy, which can be
extremely effective when used skillfully and appropriately,
especially for migraines and other
headaches, weight loss, and
smoking cessation. He may even teach you
to hypnotize yourself, a very powerful way
to achieve focus, relaxation, visualization,
instant pain relief, and calm
determination. Self-hypnosis is used routinely by
world-class athletes and performers, who
know the importance of getting themselves “in the
zone.” Dr. Ransen does not dabble in hypnotism. He is
fully trained and board certified to practice
unrestricted clinical hypnosis in the State of
Florida. His practice treats people with a wide
range of problems including:
• Excessive involvement
with internet sexual or
gambling sites
• Marriage,
relationship, and intimacy issues (LGBT
welcome)
• Chronic Pain (Headache, Migraine, Back, Neck, etc.)
• Problems with pre-teens and
teen-agers
• Drug, alcohol, and
other addictions
• Depression and suicidal feelings
• Anxiety and panic attacks
• Recovering from infidelity
• Surviving the recession
• Self-esteem and self-image problems
• Difficulty falling asleep or remaining asleep
• Debilitating migraines and other
headaches
• Difficulty with focus and concentration
(ADHD)
You may leave your old
diagnoses at the door, and you will certainly not get any
new ones. The plan is no secret: Dr. Ransen will guide you
back to health, not treat symptoms. He is proud to have
helped many people using solution-focused
therapy, couples counseling and
marriage counseling, in these areas:
| • Boca Raton | • Boynton Beach | • Coconut Creek | • Coral Springs | |
| • Deerfield Beach | • Delray Beach | • Fort Lauderdale | • Gulf Stream | |
| • Highland Beach | • Hillsboro Beach | • Lake Worth | • Lantana | |
| • Lighthouse Point | • Oakland Park | • Margate | • Palm Beach | |
| • Parkland | • Plantation | • Pompano Beach | • West Palm Beach |
and other neighboring communities in Palm Beach and
Broward Counties.
How will it feel when your friends and relatives see you as
the strongest person they know, who is at
peace and who always seems to know what are the right
decisions? When they look to you as a role model for
self-confidence and moral direction? You
will not only benefit immeasurably from therapy, but also
serve as a beacon of hope for your friends and loved ones,
who will without doubt quickly come to see you as
someone to be loved, respected, and emulated. And
you can quickly eliminate your chronic
pain, instead of being victimized by it.
This is not hype. It really does happen, time after time.
Best of all, it often occurs in just a few weeks or even
less — this is not a project in which you must invest
big chunks of time and money. Of course, you can terminate
at any time without any penalty, so you have absolutely
nothing to lose, and so very much to gain in the quality of
your life.
You may
be surprised at how easily and smoothly therapy flows. Dr.
Ransen does not spend your time delving deeply into your
past. He has discovered over the years that building
solutions is much quicker and far more effective than
devoting endless hours discussing problems. He has proven
time and again that even tiny “baby steps” can
make huge improvements in how you feel, how you behave with
your loved ones, and how they treat you. Little
changes make huge differences.

If the crisis is potentially life-threatening, you should dial 911 immediately. Otherwise, we will make every effort to see you on very short notice. An emergency visit normally requires two hours in order to be effective. The fee for an emergency session is $350. This fee may be reduced for existing clients of Delray Holistic Therapy. |
