Why BHI Started in Boulder
Boulder's Wellness Culture
Boulder has one of the highest concentrations of therapists, counselors, and wellness practitioners per capita in the U.S. This created the environment where BHI could build a training program specifically designed for licensed clinicians — not a generic certification mill.
Alumni Network Density
BHI's largest concentration of graduates practices along Colorado's Front Range — Boulder, Denver, Longmont, Louisville, Lafayette, Fort Collins, and Colorado Springs. This creates a built-in referral and peer consultation network that new graduates can tap into immediately.
Academic & Clinical Roots
With CU Boulder's psychology programs, Naropa University's contemplative psychology department, and a dense network of private practices, Boulder's clinical community provided the early cohorts of therapists who shaped BHI's curriculum through direct feedback.
Integrative & Holistic Orientation
Boulder therapists tend to be open to integrative approaches — combining evidence-based psychotherapy with somatic, contemplative, and experiential methods. BHI's curriculum reflects this orientation: hypnotherapy is taught as a clinical tool that integrates with existing modalities.
How Live Online Delivery Works
Live Zoom Sessions
4 consecutive days of real-time instruction. You see your instructor, your cohort sees you. Questions are answered live, not in a forum thread days later.
Supervised Breakout Practice
You pair with peers for real practice sessions — running inductions, delivering suggestions, conducting regressions — with instructor check-ins and feedback.
Live Demonstrations
Instructors demonstrate every technique on volunteer participants during class. You observe the full arc of a real session, not a scripted recording.
Small Cohort Format
Each cohort is intentionally small so instructors can give individual feedback. Your clinical background and learning pace are accommodated, not ignored.
From Boulder to Live Online
BHI's journey from a local Boulder program to a national live-online training.

a growing community of certified practitioners across Colorado and nationwide. Now headquartered in Plymouth, Massachusetts. Largest alumni concentration remains along Colorado's Front Range.
For Boulder-Area Therapists
If you practice in Boulder, Longmont, Louisville, Lafayette, Broomfield, or anywhere along the Front Range — you already know the community that shaped this program. Many of our instructors and senior alumni practice locally. When you complete the training, you're joining a network of colleagues who understand your market and can serve as referral partners. Colorado does not require a separate hypnotherapy license. As a DORA-licensed therapist (LPC, LCSW, LMFT, PsyD), you can practice hypnotherapy within your scope after completing appropriate training. The 32 NBCC-approved CEs from Level 1 count toward your license renewal.
Voices from BHI Graduates Near Boulder
BHI's growing community of certified practitioners includes women therapists practicing in the Boulder area. Here's what two of them share about the training that prepared them for clinical practice:
“After completing my BHI certification, I found that my clients were already open to hypnotherapy and eager to begin. The training gave me the confidence and the clinical framework to meet them there.”
“The depth, the structure, the supervised practice — this is the real thing. I looked at a dozen programs before choosing BHI, and I'm so glad I did.”
