ABOUT CHANGING HABITS

Jim Baer, Professional Licensed Counselor and Board Certified Hypnotherapist
As the founder and president of Changing Habits, LLC, of Appleton, I have always been intrigued by human behavior and how it is influenced. My bachelor's degree is in Sociology and I truly enjoyed studying how people's environments help shape their roles, relationships and behavior. That degree led me to my first career in consumer marketing, which gave me the opportunity to design marketing campaigns to motivate purchase behavior for some of the country's most well-known brands.

My mid-life crisis ended with me, in my late 40s, knowing that I needed to find a profession that could give me more meaning as a person. I entered graduate school and earned my master's degree in Counseling. I've worked with mental health professionals and agencies in both Pennsylvania and Wisconsin and became fascinated with the enormous role our subconscious has on our beliefs and behavior.

Helping Clients Achieve Personal Change
The business bug never completely left me and I knew I wanted to chase my dream of building my own company. Changing Habits, LLC, of the Fox Valley was born with the purpose of helping clients realize that we all have limiting personal habits that have formed over the years, and that these habits hold us back from experiencing personal change and life satisfaction. Check the Personal Services section of this Web site to learn how you can benefit from my counseling techniques and treatment process, then please send me a message letting me know your thoughts.

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in the State of Wisconsin. I am also a Nationally Board-Certified Clinical Hypnotherapist. I am a provider for many health insurance plans. Since most health insurance plans do not cover hypnosis therapy, all clients receiving this service are billed on a sliding fee scale.
