Hypnosis Scope of Practice

As a consulting hypnotist my role is to help you resolve everyday problems using hypnosis.

I am not a medical doctor or mental health practitioner. I do not diagnose, prescribe, treat, cure, or heal any physical, mental, or emotional illness.

The services I render are not a form of health care, psychotherapy, or counseling.

The physical and mental well-being of each client is my primary consideration. I recommend that you seek medical and/or professional help when appropriate.

Hypnosis is not a substitute for medical treatments or medications. I will withhold non-referred hypnotic services if a client’s behavior, appearance or statements would lead a reasonable person to believe that the client should be evaluated by a licensed health care professional, and will provide services to such clients only after evaluation and with the approval of the licensed health care professional.

If you need a diagnosis or any other type of treatment from a different practitioner, I will assist in a coordinated transfer of services to another practitioner.

I do not perform hypnosis for unrealistic goals or inappropriate requests. For example, I will not hypnotize someone for another person to determine whether they are telling the truth, or to exert outside influence on them.

I am a Certified Member of the National Guild of Hypnotists and practice in accordance with its Code of Ethics and Standards. If you ever have a complaint about my services or behavior that I cannot resolve for you personally you may contact the National Guild of Hypnotists to seek redress.
