About Marilyn Kopasz
Do You Have an Issue that You Want to Resolve?
You Can Do It … I Can Help
My Mission
Gently resolve stress, anxiety and trauma using science-based processes for better health.
Background
In 2019, I opened Essential Health & Hypnosis, LLC, after a fulfilling 30-year career with the US Department of Defense. I held security clearances for decades, making me uniquely qualified to work with people concerned about their privacy.
I know a thing or two about stress and trauma and at one point was diagnosed with Complex Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (C-PTSD). I tried traditional counseling and anti-anxiety medications but that didn’t help.
Qualifications
I served as a Havening Techniques co-trainer at the 2023 worldwide HypnoThoughts conference in Las Vegas, NV. In October 2020, I presented a class at the Mid-American Hypnosis Conference in Arlington Heights, IL. I maintain a Hypnosis Certification with the National Guild of Hypnosis; achieved Advanced Hypnosis Training and Board Certification with the International Association of Counselors and Therapists. I fulfilled both training and certification requirements from Havening International and am listed on its registry as one of its Havening Techniques Certified Practitioners. My Bachelor’s degree is from George Mason University, where I also completed graduate-level classes.
In 2020, I joined the Virginia Health Department’s Medical Reserve Corps to support its efforts in stopping the spread of COVID19 and in 2024 received a Health & Wellness Coaching Certificate from Emory University Continuing Education.
