About Us

Doug O’Brien

Doug O’Brien is a Master Practitioner and Trainer of NLP, and a Certified Hypnotherapist.

In 1988, while assisting at NLP and NAC training seminars with Anthony Robbins, Doug achieved the designation of Master Trainer. He now conducts numerous seminars of his own around the globe (specializing in the “Sleight of Mouth” patterns of Robert Dilts, NLP Certification Courses, and Ericksonian Hypnotherapy) and helped found Columbia-Presbyterian’s Department of Complementary Medicine with Dr. Mehmet Oz.

I have known Doug O’Brien for many years and have been consistently impressed with his skill and integrity. Doug is one of the rare teachers who is able to integrate NLP and Ericksonian hypnosis, so that students develop both conscious and unconscious competence. I confidently endorse him as a trainer, and as a person.

Robert Dilts, Co-Developer of NLP and Author of NLP Vol 1.

I Highly recommend Doug O’Brien of Doug O’Brien and Associates. He is continually updating and training with the most up-to-date skills I have developed.

Richard Bandler, Co-creator of NLP

There are only a handful of people in the country whom I have personally trained and am totally confident in recommending. Doug O’Brien is one of these few.

Anthony Robbins, Author of “Unlimited Power” and “Awaken the Giant Within”

I especially enjoy Doug’s sense of humor – how he combines compassion with a lighthearted spirit. He sees the bigger picture of life, and focuses not on problems, but on solutions. Doug not only gets results, but everyone has a good time getting them.

Dan Millman, Author of “Way of the Peaceful Warrior” and “No Ordinary Moments”

Since dropping out of the teaching game I had really gotten out of touch. It was nice to see someone like Doug in action. The Hypno-biz is passing into good hands.

Dr. Steven Heller, Author of “Monsters and Magical Sticks”

Doug O’Brien is a master teacher, offering skills that will have a huge impact on your life. He has a wonderful way of making the complex easy for people to grasp.

Nancy Raimondo, Unlimited Resources, Bayside, Long Island

…Impeccable professional expertise and integrity… Rarely have I seen a teacher or trainer consistently demonstrate a caring that is equal to his skill as Doug O’Brien.
