Clinical hypnotherapy overview
evidence of the usefulness of hypnotherapy
While the use and history of hypnosis for health and well-being seem to go back as far as humans have been sharing oral histories, current methods in scientific study have allowed us to gain more insight into the usefulness of this modality for ailments, stressors of modern-day living, help with procedural and medical care, and overall well-being. Please see our blog for more information on the scientific validity of hypnosis and hypnotherapy.
Please note, medical release is required for all referrals of clients who are currently being treated for any health condition. This is to promote appropriate interdisciplinary care of all clients we serve and allows us to be in compliance with best practices in clinical hypnotherapy. We appreciate your understanding.
