Meet Leanna Lapidus – Hypnotherapist Specializing in Anxiety, Trauma, and Addiction Recovery
Helping high-achieving professionals, adults, and creatives heal anxiety, break free from addiction, and reprogram self-sabotaging thoughts.
Hi, I'm Leanna Lapidus, and I'm so glad you're here. My passion for helping others heal was born out of my own journey through anxiety, trauma, and growing up in a family impacted by alcoholism and addiction. After overcoming my own battles, I became passionate about helping others find peace, clarity, and lasting transformation.
With over 15 years of experience in trauma recovery and emotional wellness—including a decade as a Clinical Hypnotherapist and Spiritual Counselor at Passages Malibu Addiction Treatment Center—I’ve supported hundreds of men and women through deep healing work. I specialize in trauma-informed hypnotherapy, addiction recovery, subconscious reprogramming, and nervous system regulation.
My unique method—the Lapidus Root Release Method™—is designed to uncover and release the root of anxiety, emotional pain, and self-sabotaging patterns. Whether it’s unresolved trauma, limiting beliefs, or years of living in survival mode, I help you break free and rewire your mind for peace, clarity, and confidence.
If you're navigating anxiety, trauma, addiction, feeling stuck, toxic relationships, or negative thought patterns, know this: you're not broken—your mind has simply been wired for survival. And that can be changed. This work is about coming home to yourself, reconnecting to your purpose, and living fully, not fearfully.
I work with high-achieving professionals, parents, creatives, and everyday individuals who are tired of just "coping" and are ready to experience real, lasting change. Whether you're silently struggling with alcoholism, substance use, high-functioning anxiety, or constantly battling intrusive thoughts, there is hope—and it starts with one decision: to heal.
I also support those facing executive burnout, emotional exhaustion, and addiction recovery for professionals. Many of my clients are successful on the outside but are silently struggling with anxiety, burnout, or destructive patterns behind the scenes. You don’t have to navigate this alone.
Together, we create a space that is compassionate, confidential, and deeply transformative. Faith-led hypnotherapy is available upon request for those desiring a spiritual foundation in their healing journey.
Healing is not a linear path, but it is possible—and you're not alone in it.
You don’t have to keep living in survival mode.
During our first free consultation, we’ll uncover what’s keeping you stuck and explore the most aligned path forward for your healing. This is your time to reconnect to your peace, your purpose, and your power.
You're not alone. I'm here to walk with you—step by step—until you're living the life you were created for.
Warmly,
Leanna Lapidus

"I have been working with Leanna since September and it's been life-changing. Unlike most therapy, her approach is celebratory and life-affirming. She continues to help me reframe my thinking, strive for greatness, and meet my goals. I would describe her style as highly insightful, empowering, and compassionate. No matter what aspect of your life you are trying to improve, Leanna is a gem. She's helped me in many ways that traditionalists haven't been able to tap into."

"I can't thank Leanna enough for the change I've experienced since working with her. I've been doing cocaine at least 3 times a week for over thirty years and after about 10 sessions with her, my cravings are gin and I've never been healthier or happier. She has also been very helpful with my relationships. I couldn't recommend her any higher, she's the real deal. Thank you Leanna, Rick."

"I have recently started seeing Leanna and the results are mind blowing. After only two sessions I feel a world of a difference. She gave me the proper tools to use in my daily life to overcome my issues. She is great at what she does and is the perfect guide to the journey within oneself. I highly recommend you give her a try. You definitely not regret it!"
