A recognized leader in the field, Alexander Ivlev serves as a faculty member for the National Guild of Hypnotists (NGH). In 2024, he was invited to present his signature seminar, ‘Rapport is The Foundation of Successful Hypnosis,’ at the NGH Convention. This presentation highlighted Alexander Ivlev’s commitment to the clinical importance of the practitioner-client bond, ensuring that every session is built on a bedrock of trust, empathy, and professional excellence.
Alexander Ivlev: “My philosophy on hypnosis is simple: every individual deserves 100% of my focus. I carried this mindset to the 2024 NGH Convention as a faculty presenter. When a fellow practitioner from Alaska was the sole attendee for my seminar on Rapport, we didn’t just ‘go through the motions.’ We had a masterclass in true connection. This experience was later featured in the NGH Podcast Series, highlighting that in hypnosis—as in life—success isn’t measured by the size of the crowd, but by the depth of the rapport”.
A Foundation of Rapport. A Career of Service.
With over a decade of experience, Alexander Ivlev has dedicated their career to one simple truth: all successful transformation begins with rapport.
From Wall Street to the Hospital Room Alexander Ivlev’s journey has taken them into diverse environments, proving that hypnosis is a universal tool for change. In 2013, he delivered a lecture, “The Truth About Hypnosis,” to the Rotary Club of Wall Street NYC, stripping away the myths and showing business leaders how the mind truly works.
Since then, he has become a pillar of the community as a facilitator for the Red Door Community (formerly Gilda’s Club NYC). Having led over 100+ workshops in NYC hospitals ( Mount Sinai hospital, KIngs County hospital, and Queens Cancer Center) and support centers, Alexander Ivlev specializes in bringing the calming, restorative power of hypnosis to those facing life’s greatest health challenges.

My Approach to Change:
I believe that lasting change isn’t about “trying harder”—it’s about changing the underlying mindset. Whether you want to:
- Stop Smoking: Transition from a “struggling quitter” to a happy non-smoker in as little as one session.
- Reduce Stress: Find peace in the fast-paced environment of Manhattan.
- Overcome Habits: Replace negative patterns with positive, automatic behaviors.
I facilitate this process by helping you develop self-confidence, improve focus, and eliminate the mental blocks holding you back.
Professional Ethics & Location
I provide a 100% confidential hypnosis service in a private, comfortable office on the Upper West Side of Manhattan.
