Originally From: Georgia
Now Located: Columbia, SC
How Did You Get Started?: Got laid off from my corporate job, decided to learn hypnosis because I figured it would be fun at parties (it totally is!). Saw how powerful it is to help people. Fell in love with it.
What Do You Love About What You Do?: I enjoy seeing people heal and grow.
Mission Statement: Emotion drives behavior. Stories frame emotion and create meaning. Even the Self is a story. I help people engage their own creativity to tell themselves new stories.
Etc: Dr. Fredric Mau was named the 2019 Outstanding Counselor by the South Carolina Counseling Association, adding to his impressive research awards in Europe and the US. He is an internationally recognized authority on clinical hypnosis, and is an engaging speaker on psychotherapeutic counseling.
