Are hypnotherapists in demand?

According to the Occupational Outlook Quarterly, the best opportunities in hypnotherapy are for professionals in other fields who add hypnosis to their medical or therapeutic skills and practices. As acceptance of hypnotherapy by the conventional medical establishment and the general public expands, dentists and psychologists are among those who sometimes complement their practices with hypnotherapy. By and large, people trained solely in hypnotherapy have a more difficult path to establishing thriving and income generating businesses. Some hypnotherapists reduce advertising and marketing costs by aligning themselves and/or sharing office space with healing centres, acupuncture clinics, physical therapy offices, or psychotherapy and counseling services. Entrants to the field encounter significant competition for jobs in places such as California, where hypnotherapy is generally more accepted and more popular.
