I cannot encourage you enough to attend this training. Dr. Boyes is not only a masterful clinician, he is a masterful teacher. He is warm, funny, articulate, and cultivates a learning environment rich with safety, experiential in nature, and encouraging of individual exploration. I consider this training one of the best professional and personal investments I have made, and I’m confident you will too."

​Dr. Rick Boyes' hypnosis training is excellent! He expertly combines clear and concise didactic material, opportunities for practice and support, interactive feedback, live demonstrations, and rich case examples from his decades of experience in the field to create a powerful training experience. I completed training feeling both deeply inspired and very well prepared to start integrating hypnosis into my practice. I highly recommend this training if you are interested in exploring the incredible depth and potential of the subconscious mind!

Dr. Boyes' Clinical Hypnotherapy course has opened my eyes to a new way of conceptualizing therapeutic issues and making interventions with my clients. His experience and skill in using hypnotherapy is evident. Watching his many demonstrations, and then practicing the techniques with fellow students during the course, gave me the confidence I needed to start integrating what I was learning into work with my own clients. I highly recommend this course for any clinician who wants to add an effective technique to their clinical toolbox.

Thank you for offering hypnotherapy training locally, it is definitely worth the time and financial investment. Your expertise and passion for this modality were evident in every detail. The schedule, handouts, balance between lecture/teaching and practical application were well-thought-out and facilitated learning. I was able to implement the skills taught and see results with clients immediately. Based on my overall experience with the training and the significant improvement I continue to see when using hypnotherapy with clients, I find it difficult to refer others to therapists who aren't yet trained in hypnotherapy. I hope you continue to offer the training and more clinicians are able to include it as part of their treatment.

I completed Dr. Boyes’ clinical hypnotherapy certification training and I’m excited to have this tool to share with my clients to provide opportunities for deeper healing. As one of my colleagues pointed out, having this certification is a game-changer and can help shape a counselors private practice. I approached this training with a guarded skepticism. But Dr. Boyes’ relaxed teaching style was welcoming and encouraged questions and class discussion. His many years of experience was evident as he shared personal examples and demonstrated his skills in real time. The content and discussion were so interesting and engaging that the time went by so quickly. Dr. Boyes encourages excellence through his mentoring style. By the end of the training, my skepticism turned into excitement and belief in the incredible healing this could offer my clients. While there are other options for hypnosis training, Dr. Boyes is the only person I would trust to teach me such a unique skill that I can apply as a counselor.

Hypnotherapy Training was a vital element in my journey as a counseling student. Not only did I gain confidence in hypnotherapy, but I feel the training added years to my understanding of healing techniques and professional elements of counseling. It was encouraging to see the excitement in a class with seasoned professionals and grad students. I have taken many classes from Dr. Rick Boyes and always come away with a greater understanding and count my time as well spent!
