It has come to my attention that there are many people who are "so called" professionals advertising themselves as "Psychotherapists", "Hypnotherapists" and "Fitness Trainers" who are not licensed to do what they are stating they do. For example, I recently became aware of an Art Therapist who is advertising herself as a "Psychotherapist" on her business cards. I have heard of Nurse Practitioners and Chiropractors attempting these same claims.
Please be aware to ask them if they are licensed as a certified Psychotherapist and/or Hypnotherapist in New York State. This IS the definitive question as while they may be able to call themselves anything they wish to on their business card or advertisement by skirting the legalities of such, the fact remains that they are NOT licensed to provide these services.
By asking them if they are licensed, they will have to truthfully disclose their true identity and lack of a professional certification and/or licensure.
While you would think these people would have more self respect, please understand that ofttimes they do not. They have no shame as well. But of gall, dishonesty, and audacity, they have plenty.
