Hypnotherapy 

Issues Frequently Addressed Through Hypnotherapy

The scope of practice of a hypnotherapist involves vocational and avocational self-improvement counseling.  As a hypnotherapist, I address areas that do not qualify as medical, emotional, or psychological disorders.  I address the little things that the majority of Americans struggle with on a daily basis.  Typical would be those self-improvement issues central to the New Year’s Resolutions most people make and and fail to achieve each year.

Improving sports performance, increasing confidence and motivation, addressing a fear of public speaking, stopping smoking, and more, as listed below, are all specialties of a hypnotherapist. Unlike psychologists and medical doctors, the hypnotherapist is a professional specifically trained to work in these areas.

At the same time, as a hypnotherapist, I can work, by way of referral from dentists, medical doctors, and psychologists, with issues beyond the scope of vocational and avocational counseling.  This is because California Business and Professions Code 2908 exempts persons using hypnotic techniques from the psychology licensing act when they are working by way of referral from persons licensed to practice psychology, dentistry, or medicine.
