Patty McDuffey, CPH, MAcOM, Dipl.OM
Hello!
I'm Patty — a Hypnotherapist, Coach and Credentialing Specialist
For over 14 years, I served patients in both Portland and Bend, Oregon as a licensed acupuncturist, drawing on my Master’s in Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine (MAcOM) and national board certification in Oriental Medicine (NCCAOM). Though I’ve since retired my Oregon acupuncture license, I continue to integrate my deep background in East Asian medicine with my work as a Certified Professional Hypnotist (ICBCH), Neurolinguistic Programming Practitioner (NLP), and Coach.
My approach is grounded in trauma-informed care, a perspective shaped by years of working with military veterans. I offer both individual sessions and structured programs in hypnotherapy, coaching, and meditation with specialties including healthy weight loss, smoking cessation, mental/emotional/behavioral concerns, and personal transformation. I’m pleased to offer my services globally via remote sessions, making my work easily accessible to clients around the world.
In addition to my clinical work, I support integrative and mental health practitioners with insurance credentialing. I provide nationwide credentialing services, with a focus on providers practicing in MA, MD, FL, CO, ID, OR, and CA.
This unique combination of clinical expertise and administrative support allows me to serve both clients and practitioners in the healing arts.
About Me.
My approach to client care strongly infuses the wisdom of Chinese medicine, a medical practice over 2,000 years old, with the therapeutic practice of Hypnosis, an ancient therapeutic modality with roots in ancient Egypt and Greece. Having been an acupuncturist and Chinese herbalist for over 14 years, my services have seamlessly evolved to specifically affect the neuroplasticity of the brain. My services now focus on techniques to help you shape the future you'd like to create using Hypnosis and NLP, while learning to address the day-to-day current life struggles using Meditation.
My Services
HYPNOTHERAPY
As a Certified Professional Hypnotist with 14 years of clinical experience as a licensed acupuncturist, I specialize in helping clients create lasting change through hypnotherapy and NLP. My approach integrates Chinese medical theories, guided meditation, and coaching to address mind, body, and emotional patterns at their root.
The collaborative process of hypnosis gives you the opportunity to “sit back” into your subconscious mind to better understand the nature of your health and behavioral struggles, while discovering and practicing effective methods to move through them. As we create positive conditions to close the mind-body gap, I will invite you to begin discovering naturally-occurring responses and improvements in self-esteem, confidence, health, and success.
Through themed programs and customized session packages, clients release limiting habits, strengthen empowering beliefs, and achieve meaningful transformation, without relying on willpower. My trauma-informed, compassionate approach ensures a safe and supportive environment for this work.
CREDENTIALING
I help integrative and mental health practitioners navigate the complex process of insurance credentialing, ensuring they meet all requirements to treat and bill for insurance patients with confidence. Since 2022, I’ve been providing personalized guidance and support for providers nationwide, specializing in MA, MD, FL, CO, ID, OR, and CA. My goal is to simplify the process so practitioners can focus on their clients while successfully expanding their practices.
