Scope of Practice and Hypnotism Services

Consulting Hypnotists provide meditative, motivational, non-therapeutic coaching for a wide range of issues, including enhancing the effectiveness of medical or psychological care received elsewhere. However, our work is not intended as a substitute for such care. We are not licensed mental health practitioners, therapists, or psychologists and do not conduct psychotherapy or healing. We do not diagnose, treat, or prescribe, and our services do not, by themselves, produce healing or curing. Our hypnotism services can help normal persons with normal problems in living, enhancing human flourishing by inculcating positive thinking by the capacity for self-hypnosis. Our services are a supportive and educational supplement to the more common types of therapy used in the mental health field and teach persons to use their natural skills and abilities. In some cases, we may require a written referral from a licensed health professional. Our approach delivers good results for most of our clients, but we cannot guarantee particular outcomes for individual cases. The success of our work depends on each person’s individual readiness and motivation together with their willingness to follow our recommendations.
