Residents affected by the Eaton Canyon fire now have access to free, personalized hypnotherapy sessions through a grassroots collaboration between Rahban Development, a local LA construction firm and Certified Hypnotherapist Ted Moreno. The initiative aims to help survivors release trauma, reduce stress and regain emotional stability.

“This program helps people let go of negative memories and focus on moving forward in a healthy way,” said Rahban Development Customer relations director, Mathew Rahban. “I’ve seen a complete change in my life since working with Ted.”

Moreno said trauma and grief after a fire are stored not just in the mind but in the body. “Hypnotherapy helps people release stress, grief and loss that have built up inside,” he said. “The sessions are tailored to each individual’s needs, allowing them to feel safe while working through their emotions.”

To reinforce healing, Moreno records hypnosis sessions for clients to use at home, supporting relaxation and recovery between visits. While one session may offer relief, he recommends multiple appointments for lasting impact. “Typically, people need six to 12 sessions, depending on their individual journey,” he said.

The program complements Altadena’s broader recovery resources, including disaster recovery centers, mental health programs, housing assistance and community workshops. Rahban emphasized that one-on-one sessions offer privacy and personalized care, unlike group therapy.

“Community support is critical,” Moreno said. “Neighbors, friends and even strangers offer encouragement that makes a huge difference.”

The initiative encourages hope and resilience. “People often forget how strong they are,” Moreno said. “Our goal is to help residents believe they can bounce back and regain control.”

Rahban said he hopes participants leave with a renewed sense of calm and motivation. “It’s a breath of fresh air—something different that inspires healing,” he said. “At Rahban Development, we are not only happy to help people rebuild their homes but more importantly to rebuild their lives.”

The effort reflects a local commitment to helping Pasadena residents rebuild their lives and mental well-being in the aftermath of devastation.
