The nature of our work
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. Our work is not intended as a substitute for that care. Our services help normal persons with normal problems in living, enhancing human flourishing by inculcating positive thinking through the capacity for self-hypnosis. They are a supportive and educational supplement to the more common types of therapy used in the mental health field, teaching people to use their own natural skills and abilities.

What we are not, and what we do not do
We are not licensed mental health practitioners, therapists, or psychologists, and we do not conduct psychotherapy or healing. We do not diagnose, treat, or prescribe, and our services do not, by themselves, produce healing or curing. We do not provide medical advice, and we never advise clients to start, change, reduce, or stop any medication or therapy. Where a client chooses to reduce or discontinue medication or therapy, they make that decision with their health care provider.

About the client comments on our site
The comments and testimonials you see on our website are each person's own words, describing their own experience. Any references to diagnosed conditions (such as PTSD, anxiety, or depression) reflect the client's own description or a diagnosis they received from a licensed professional, not from us. Where a comment mentions reducing or stopping medication, that change was the client's own decision, made with their health care provider. Hypnosis, NLP, and our other modalities are complementary methods that support, rather than replace, medical or mental-health care.

Who we work with
We work with people seeking support for everyday challenges and personal growth. We do not provide crisis intervention, and we do not work with individuals experiencing active suicidal thoughts or use of hard drugs. Where clients describe such experiences in their comments, they are describing their history, before or apart from our work. In some cases, we may require a written referral from a licensed health professional before beginning.

Results
Our approach delivers good results for most of our clients, but we cannot guarantee particular outcomes in individual cases. The success of our work depends on each person's readiness and motivation, together with their willingness to follow our recommendations.
