In most states, Hypnotherapy is a non-licensed profession.

Pennsylvania is a state, like most others, where a Certified NGH Hypnotist operating by the NGH Code of Ethics and Standards can legally practice.

Do I need a college degree to become a Certified Clinical Hypnotherapist ?

What does it take to become a successful Hypnotherapist ?

It is a profession that can provide great assistance to others, so a desire to do work that helps others helps greatly. A Certified Hypnotist can often do many different activities in their business, such as marketing, advertising, accounting, advising, teaching and coaching, so there really is no boredom and we find that our graduates become more personally satisfied by interacting with their clients. Like anything, it requires effort, persistence and hard work, but those who practice as Certified Hypnotherapists are usually quite happy in their careers and would not trade for anything.

How much can I charge as a Certified Clinical Hypnotherapist ?

That will depend on where you practice. In larger, more affluent metropolitan areas, you will be able to charge more for your work. So, depending on location, you will be able to charge between $75. and $250 per hour for your work.

The NGH is the oldest and most respected Hypnotist Certification organization in the world and operates in almost every country in the world. It is really the "Gold Standard" among hypnotists.

Is there any student support after the NGH Hypnosis Certification training program ?

Upon completion, students become automatically members of their local NGH chapter and have access to the knowledge and expertise of the world's best hypnotists. Local chapters have monthly meetings and discuss new topics of interest and Certified Hypnotists are able to share information, ask questions and healp each other succeed.
