Legal Notice

Pursuant to the California Business and Professions Code, Joseph R. Giove provides services that are alternative and complementary to healing arts services licensed by the state. Each client will be interviewed and if it is determined that the services provided can be of benefit, Joseph R. Giove will provide services in accordance with his education, training, and experience.

The services provided are hypnosis, neurolinguistic programming, biofeedback, thought field therapy, guided visualization and self-hypnosis training. These services are not licensed by the state. These services are non-diagnostic and are complementary to the healing arts services that are licensed by the state of California. The California State Legislature has determined that state licensing may not be conferred upon an occupational group for purposes of status or prestige. The primary purpose of licensing laws for legally defined Healing Arts and Mental Health professionals is to protect public health and safety. Accordingly, hypnotherapists are not issued licenses by the Sate Governmental Agency to engage in their professional services. The services do not include the practice of medicine or psychology or any other licensed healing art.

Joseph R. Giove is a Master Hypnotist and maintains certification as a Clinical Hypnotherapist with the American Council of Hypnotist Examiners (ACHE). The ACHE requires annual continuing education in order to maintain certification.
