There are potential benefits and risks of video-conferencing limits to client confidentiality) that differ from in-person sessions. *

• Confidentiality still applies for on line services, and nobody will record the session without the permission from both the client and therapist. • We agree to use the video-conferencing Zoom platform selected for our virtual sessions, and the therapist will explain how to use it. • You need to use a computer, or smartphone during the session. • It is important to be in a quiet, private space that is free of distractions (including cell phone or other devices) during the session. • It is important to use a secure internet connection rather than public/free Wi-Fi. • It is important to be on time. If you need to cancel or change your online appointment, you must notify the therapist in advance by phone or email. • We need a back-up plan (e.g., phone number where you can be reached) to restart the session or to reschedule it, in the event of technical problems. • We need a safety plan that includes at least one emergency contact and the closest emergency room to your location, in the event of a crisis situation. • If you are not an adult, we need the permission of your parent or legal guardian (and their contact information) for you to participate in the online sessions. • You are responsible for full payment. Payments are made through the PayPal site. Use this email for payment: holly@hypnotherapytraining.com

It is the goal of HCH and all HCH Interns to provide clients with a safe, non-judgmental and supportive environment where clients can gain insights into established patterns of behaviors and work towards transformation and personal growth. Because all of the services and modalities are based on the empowerment model, all clients do their own works and healing with the guidance of a co-creative facilitator. 6. All HCH Interns have completed the HCH Board approved 200 hour training in Hypnotherapy and are Certified Hypnotherapists. 7. All are trained in EFT. Many of the Interns are also trained in Reiki, Shamanic Practices and other Energy Therapy Modalities.
