Hypnosis Regulations in Colorado
Colorado has specific regulations affecting the practice of hypnotherapy that changed significantly in 2020. Understanding these regulations is important for both practitioners and consumers.
Prior to July 2020, Colorado allowed hypnotherapists to register with the state as “unlicensed psychotherapists” under the State Board of Unlicensed Psychotherapists. Registered practitioners could practice psychotherapy, which could include hypnotherapy applications.
In 2020, Colorado ended the “unlicensed psychotherapist” registry. Since then, new hypnotherapists cannot register as unlicensed psychotherapists. Those who registered before the July 2020 cutoff may continue to practice under their existing registration.
For practitioners who did not register before 2020, hypnotherapy may still be practiced for non-therapeutic purposes under Colorado Revised Statute Title 6 Section 6-1-724, which covers complementary and alternative healthcare providers. This statute allows practice of non-medical, non-clinical hypnosis services such as motivation, stress management, study skills, confidence building, smoking cessation, and self-improvement goals.
The Colorado Department of Regulatory Agencies (DORA) has stated that practitioners who are not practicing psychotherapy and fall within Title 6 provisions for complementary and alternative healthcare providers do not require registration, provided they practice within the parameters of Title 6.
Colorado Revised Statutes Section 12-245-202 defines “psychotherapy” and outlines requirements for various mental health practitioners including psychologists, licensed professional counselors, licensed clinical social workers, and marriage and family therapists. Hypnotherapy performed as part of psychotherapy falls under these regulations.
Practitioners operating under the complementary and alternative healthcare statutes are advised to clearly specify they are working as complementary/alternative practitioners as defined by Colorado Revised Statute Title 6 Section 6-1-724, that they are not licensed psychotherapists, psychiatrists, or doctors, and to recommend that clients seeking assistance for mental or physical health disorders see appropriately licensed professionals.
The State Board of Unlicensed Psychotherapists continues to regulate those practitioners who were registered before the 2020 cutoff. Applications for reinstatement were no longer accepted after December 31, 2022.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Can I practice hypnotherapy in Colorado without a license?
A: The answer depends on the type of hypnotherapy services you intend to provide. Before July 2020, practitioners could register as “unlicensed psychotherapists” to practice hypnotherapy including psychotherapy applications. That registration path is now closed. However, hypnotherapy for non-clinical purposes such as motivation, stress management, habit change, confidence building, and self-improvement can be practiced under Colorado’s complementary and alternative healthcare statutes (C.R.S. Title 6 Section 6-1-724). Practitioners must clearly distinguish their services from psychotherapy and avoid diagnosing or treating mental health conditions.
Q: How can I verify a hypnotherapist’s credentials in Denver?
A: For practitioners registered as unlicensed psychotherapists (those who registered before July 2020), verification can be done through the Colorado Department of Regulatory Agencies (DORA) online license lookup system at dpo.colorado.gov. Licensed mental health professionals (psychologists, LPCs, LCSWs) can also be verified through DORA. For certifications from professional organizations such as the National Guild of Hypnotists (NGH), American Council of Hypnotist Examiners (ACHE), or American Board of Hypnotherapy (ABH), contact these organizations directly to confirm membership and certification status.
Q: What is the difference between a registered psychotherapist and a hypnotist in Colorado?
A: Registered psychotherapists in Colorado (those who registered before July 2020) are listed in the State Board of Unlicensed Psychotherapists database and may practice psychotherapy including clinical hypnotherapy applications. They operate under oversight of the State Board of Unlicensed Psychotherapists. Hypnotists who are not registered psychotherapists practice under the complementary and alternative healthcare provisions and should limit their services to non-clinical applications such as stress management, habit modification, motivation, and self-improvement. They cannot practice psychotherapy or treat mental health conditions without appropriate licensure.
Q: Does insurance cover hypnotherapy in Colorado?
A: Insurance coverage for hypnotherapy in Colorado varies based on the provider’s credentials and the specific insurance policy. Hypnotherapy provided by licensed mental health professionals (psychologists, Licensed Professional Counselors, Licensed Clinical Social Workers) may be covered when billed as part of mental health treatment. Services from registered unlicensed psychotherapists or non-registered hypnotists are typically not covered by health insurance. Some practitioners accept Health Savings Account (HSA) payments. Contact your insurance provider directly to verify coverage for hypnotherapy services.
Q: What should I ask when choosing a hypnotist in Denver?
A: When selecting a hypnotist in Denver, inquire about their registration status (whether they are a registered unlicensed psychotherapist, a licensed mental health professional, or practicing under complementary healthcare provisions), their training and certifications from recognized organizations (NGH, ACHE, ABH, HMI), their specific experience with your concern, their approach and typical session length, their fee structure and accepted payment methods, and whether they offer free consultations. For clinical issues involving mental health, consider working with licensed professionals who can integrate hypnotherapy into comprehensive treatment.
