About My Practice

In the realm of my professional practice, I employ mind-body hypnotherapy—a powerful technique for fostering stress relief and personal growth. My areas of focus include but are not limited to smoking cessation, weight loss, confidence enhancement, and overcoming stage fright. As a proud alumnus of the HMI College of Hypnotherapy, I have received an education from the only accredited institution in the country that offers a comprehensive curriculum in the field of hypnotherapy. This background has equipped me to serve as a complementary and alternative health-care practitioner, operating under the guidelines set forth by the Colorado Revised Statute Title 6 § 6-1-724. It is important to note that I do not hold a license in psychotherapy or psychiatry. My services are intended to complement those provided by licensed mental health professionals. Therefore, if you are in search of support for a mental health disorder, I strongly advocate for consultation with a licensed psychiatrist or psychotherapist who is specialized in the area of your concern. I am here to support your journey toward well-being, working within the scope of my training to offer alternative pathways to healing and self-improvement.

Disclosure

The purpose of a program of hypnotherapy is for vocational and avocational self-improvement and as an alternative or complementary treatment to healing art services licensed by the state. A hypnotherapist is not a licensed physician or psychologist and hypnotherapy services are not licensed by the State of Colorado. Services are non-diagnostic and do not include the practice of medicine, neither should they be considered as a substitute for licensed medical or psychological services or procedures. Services consist of a program of conditioning, including an undetermined number of private sessions, depending on the client’s individual needs. The hypnotist will to the best of their ability endeavor to accomplish the objectives of the client’s sessions. While hypnosis may be an effective technique for many purposes, the effectiveness may vary from individual to individual, and no specific results or progress can be promised or guaranteed. The use of hypnosis could elicit memories of past events which may or may not be literally true. It is possible that events under hypnosis will be distorted and misconstrued. Memories or images evoked under hypnosis are not necessarily accurate and may be construction or a composite of memories. Without corroborating information, it is not possible to determine whether a specific memory is true or false, even if it seems true to the client. While it is the practice of hypnotherapists to keep information confidential, information revealed in hypnotherapy is not subject to the psychotherapist-patient privilege. A court may order disclosure of information learned in therapy.

Client Agreement

I understand that hypnotherapists do not diagnose illness, disease, any physical or mental disorder, nor do they prescribe medical treatment or pharmaceuticals. I acknowledge that hypnotherapy is not a substitute for medical examination or diagnosis, and it is recommended that a physician be seen for that service. It is my choice to receive hypnotherapy as a form of therapy. I have stated my pertinent medical conditions, and will update the hypnotherapist of any changes in my health status. I understand that my failure to do so may post a threat to my health and physical wellbeing, and I hold harmless my hypnotherapist from any liability whatsoever arising from failure on my part.

Thank you for allowing me to be part of your journey and understanding that I am here to support you to the best of my ability.

In Kindness,

Danielle
