WELCOME!

My name is Dr. Kristen Jemiolo. I would like to introduce you to my private practice, which is very special to me. I counsel physicians with stress related illness, anxiety and depression, particularly physicians who have become disillusioned with the practice of medicine and themselves.

I am trained in family medicine and have worked at Vassar College Student Health for over twenty years. I found that so many of my patients with chronic health problems really needed help in dealing with their life stresses. Using my skills in cognitive behavioral therapy and twelve-step counseling, I began spending more and more time helping them come to peace with their situation. They improved.

My own journey into quiet began over twenty years ago. I trained in mindfulness-based stress reduction and began a regular meditation practice. I brought that to my patients. My next step took me to a study of clinical hypnotherapy and later Reiki, both meditative processes, which have become the basis of my practice. There is great healing that comes in the quiet. 

In order to escape the confines of an office setting, I opened my private practice in my home in 2008. I am now retired and only counsel physicians. Over an afternoon or a weekend retreat, we work in an intimate and comfortable setting without the constraints of office staff or a time clock. My job is to help them understand the cause of their symptoms, and to teach them the skills to heal themselves. Hypnotherapy brings focus and quiet to the intellectual mind. This allows an opportunity to touch and heal the subconscious mind. We awaken and connect to the "spirit", which can then heal the mind and body. It does this by calming the fight or flight response to stress meditated by the endocrine, neurological and immune systems. 

This practice is for physicians who want to find quiet in their life, who are willing to create a new life in attitude and habit and who yearn to find their spirit. 

During the pandemic I am treating patients by telephone only at 802-430-7174. Afterwards I would hope to return to afternoon appointments and weekend retreats.
