    What Level 2 Graduates Are Saying

    Clinicians who completed Level 2 describe it as the turning point in their practice — the program that made them truly confident with complex cases.

    Level 1 taught me how to run a session. Level 2 taught me how to think clinically. The anxiety protocol alone transformed how I work with my most stuck clients — I had three panic disorder clients achieve significant symptom reduction within six weeks of applying what I learned.

    Dr. Rebecca S.

    Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC)

    Austin, TX

    The trauma module changed everything for me. I was terrified of working with trauma in trance — dissociation, abreactions, emotional flooding. Kelly gave us a clinical framework that's so structured and safe, I now actively seek trauma referrals. My clients feel held and I feel competent.

    David H.

    Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW)

    Minneapolis, MN

    The case consultation component was worth the investment alone. Presenting my actual cases to Kelly and my cohort, getting feedback on my clinical reasoning, and watching others work through complex scenarios — that's where the real learning happened. I'm a fundamentally different practitioner now.

    Natalie C.

    Certified Hypnotherapist, Private Practice

    Nashville, TN

    I was doing good work after Level 1 but I wasn't confident with addiction cases. The addiction interruption protocols in Level 2 gave me a structured approach — I now work with smoking cessation, emotional eating, and substance patterns and actually get results. My referrals have tripled.

    Dr. James L.

    Licensed Psychologist (PhD)

    Seattle, WA

    Getting fully certified changed how referral sources see me. Physicians, psychiatrists, and other therapists now send me their most complex clients because they trust the certification. Level 2 isn't just education — it's a professional credential that opens doors.

    Prerequisites

    Level 1 Hypnotherapy Training (or equivalent foundational training approved by our admissions team) is required. If you trained elsewhere, contact us to confirm eligibility before applying.

    What 'Certification' Means at BHI

    Defined Standards

    We assess against published clinical competencies — not just attendance. You must demonstrate proficiency in each skill domain.

    Competency Assessment

    Your work is evaluated through observed sessions, case presentations, and clinical reasoning assessments — not a multiple-choice exam.

    Pass Criteria

    You must meet minimum competency thresholds in all six domains. If you don't pass on your first attempt, you receive specific feedback and can retake the assessment.

    Retake Policy

    One complimentary retake per domain within 6 months of program completion. Additional retakes available for a nominal fee.

    Professional Credential

    Upon passing, you receive the Advanced Clinical Hypnotherapy Certification — a professional credential recognized by referral networks and professional organizations.

    Advanced Skill Domains

    Harness hypnotherapy to help clients overcome anxiety, fears, and phobias
    Master advanced techniques to heal root causes of addiction
    Navigate trauma and PTSD with safe, effective therapeutic tools
    Understand and utilize the mind-body connection for physical healing
    Assist clients in repairing attachment wounds and fostering healthier relationships
    Facilitate internal dialogues using Parts Therapy for profound healing

    Supervision & Evaluation

    Observed Sessions

    Your instructor watches you work with real clients and provides structured feedback on technique, pacing, safety, and clinical reasoning.

    Case Consultation

    Present your actual client cases to Kelly and your cohort. Get expert feedback on assessment, treatment planning, and protocol selection.

    Competency Rubrics

    Every skill domain has a published rubric so you know exactly what 'competent' looks like — no guessing, no subjectivity.

    Progress Tracking

    Regular check-ins with your instructor to identify strengths, growth edges, and specific practice targets.

    Case-Based Training Approach

    1
    Intake & Assessment — learn to identify the clinical presentation and select the right protocol
    2
    Treatment Planning — design a hypnotherapy treatment arc (not just individual sessions)
    3
    Intervention — apply advanced protocols with supervised feedback on technique and pacing
    4
    Integration & Outcomes — help clients translate session insights into lasting behavioral change

    Requirements Checklist

    Important Disclosures

    Educational Outcomes

    Boulder Hypnotherapy Institute (BHI) programs are educational in nature. Training outcomes depend on each student's prior education, professional background, effort, and individual learning pace. Completion of any BHI program does not guarantee employment, income, client outcomes, or professional licensure. Students are responsible for verifying that hypnotherapy practice is permitted within their jurisdiction and professional scope.

    Scope of Practice

    BHI training does not confer a professional license, medical credential, or mental health credential. Graduates are responsible for practicing within their own legal scope of practice, professional licensure requirements, and ethical guidelines. Hypnotherapy is a complementary modality — it is not a substitute for medical care, psychotherapy, or mental health treatment.

    Continuing Education

    Continuing education (CE) credits are approved by the National Board for Certified Counselors (NBCC), Provider #6571. CE eligibility and acceptance vary by licensing board and jurisdiction. Students should verify that NBCC-approved CEs satisfy their specific board's renewal requirements before enrolling. Programs designated as "0 CEs" do not offer continuing education credits.

    Training vs. Certification

    "Training" programs (e.g., Level 1) award a certificate of completion, which documents your education hours and curriculum covered. "Certification" programs (e.g., Level 2+) award a professional certification credential upon successful completion of all competency requirements. Neither credential constitutes a state-issued license.

    Payment Terms

    Tuition is due in full at enrollment or via the stated payment plan. Payment plans are interest-free and processed automatically on the scheduled dates. Missed payments may result in a hold on program access until the balance is current. See our full Refund & Withdrawal Policy for cancellation terms, credit transfers, and cohort deferrals.
