According to the California Business and Professional Code: Sonoma Hypnotherapy/Lindi E. Gallagher  CBT, CCHT is a professional practice that provides services that are alternative and complimentary to healing arts services licensed by the state.  Hypnotherapy is described as using mental, physical, and emotional relaxation, to create a healing state, where the therapist can communicate with the client’s subconscious mind to resolve problems and empower them from within. These services are not licensed by the state. The services do not include the practice of medicine or psychology or any other licensed healing art since Lindi Gallagher is not a licensed physician.
