Article: Ask someone you trust, like a friend or family member, if they have been to a hypnotherapist themselves or if they know someone who has. Your physician, chiropractor, psychologist, dentist, or other medical professional may be able to recommend a qualified hypnotherapist. They will also be working with some knowledge of your medical history that may aid them in recommending a hypnotherapist who specializes in your condition. The General Hypnotherapy Register and the American Society of Clinical Hypnosis are good places to start a search. Visit a half dozen or so websites. A hypnotherapists personal website can give you a good idea of what they are like, whether or not they specialize in anything in particular, and provide some insight into their methods and background. Check to see if they have testimony from previous patients. Make sure the site lists the hypnotherapists credentials. If you have insurance which covers mental health you can call them directly and ask for physicians or other medical personal in your network that practice hypnosis. You may also be able to access this information on your insurance companies website. Call your state psychological association or state counseling association and ask for the names of licensed psychologists or licensed professional counselors who list hypnosis as one of their specialties. When it comes to your health, quality over convenience is always the way to go. If you are having trouble finding a qualified hypnotherapist in your immediate area, expand your search radius to include other nearby towns or neighborhoods.
