HMI’s Community Service Program provides supervised, educational hypnotherapy services conducted by student interns to help them gain practical experience and complete required hours for graduation and certification. The program connects individuals seeking free or low-cost hypnotherapy services with HMI student interns.
All sessions are private, one-on-one appointments conducted via Zoom from the convenience of your home. Sessions typically last 50 to 90 minutes and may be accessed from anywhere with a reliable internet connection and access to Zoom.
Hypnotherapy is intended to support personal development and behavioral change goals and is NOT a substitute for medical care, psychiatric treatment, psychological treatment, crisis intervention, or emergency services.
While hypnosis is generally appropriate for many individuals, certain medical or mental health conditions may make participation inadvisable. Examples may include certain seizure disorders, conditions involving impaired reality testing, severe untreated mental health symptoms, certain dissociative symptoms, or situations where a healthcare provider has advised against participation in hypnosis or deep relaxation techniques. This list is not exhaustive.
If you have concerns about whether hypnotherapy is appropriate for you, please consult with a licensed healthcare or mental health professional before participating.
If you are experiencing a medical emergency, psychiatric emergency, suicidal thoughts, or thoughts of harming yourself or others, CALL 911, go to the nearest emergency room, or contact an appropriate licensed emergency provider immediately.
Participation in the Community Service Program is voluntary, and you may discontinue participation at any time.
