"I give the course a SCORE OF 100 OUT OF 100! Tim is a genius and a gift to humanity."

Eric Suh, C.Ht.
Bettendorf, IA

"I have been in the classroom for 22 years, both as a student and as a teacher. The Hypnotherapy Academy is the very best possible learning environment ever! The knowledge and expertise of the instructors are equally matched with their enthusiasm, clarity and humor. I found no other program that provides such comprehensive and thorough hypnosis training. The personal growth I experienced in THIS NURTURING ENVIRONMENT WAS PROFOUND!"

Emily Lustig, M.ED., C.Ht.

Caution: Consumer Alert
We know it is hard to sort out all the different claims made by some "so-called hypnosis schools and boards." Stay away from "distance learning" or correspondence courses that claim to certify you as a clinical hypnotherapist. Hypnosis and hypnotherapy is a healing art based on scientific methods. Only basic hypnotherapy theory can be obtained from the right books or videos. Effectiveness is unlikely without live demonstrations, in-depth and advanced discussion, question and answer opportunities and supervised clinical practice. Just like correspondence courses are inappropriate for counselors, medical doctors and massage therapists, they are wrong for people who want to be effective and successful hypnotherapists.

Find out why we graduate more clinical hypnotherapists (350+ hours of training), than any other State licensed, approved hypnotherapy school in America!


Former State Assistant Attorney General Reports His Results

"I learned more powerful and effective techniques to facilitate growth and positive change at the Hypnotherapy Academy than during my entire psychology master's program! Tim has masterfully integrated the best of the best of what truly works, into his hypnotherapy certification course. In three years at Georgetown University and another three years at the Institute of Transpersonal Psychology, I NEVER EXPERIENCED SUCH HIGH QUALITY TEACHING and such a useful curriculum as I have at the Academy. I am a happy beneficiary: I reached very specific financial goals, and became a happier, more centered and enthusiastic person as a result of the course."

Personal and Professional Goals Achieved

"I arrived at the Hypnotherapy Academy of America believing that I had paid for and would receive the most comprehensive hypnotherapy training in the world. What I didn't expect, however, was to find myself in an environment where I would have so many profound life transforming experiences. By the end of the second week I was completely in awe and felt that our class had already gotten more than our money's worth. Upon completion of the course, I feel sure of two things. First, that I'm fully prepared to begin a successful hypnotherapy practice. Second, that my life will never be the same again."

Our Fall 2006 Hypnosis Certification Class and Staff


"Before attending the Hypnotherapy Academy of America, I had already had over 500 hours of hypnotherapy training; however, I felt that I was missing some important concepts and skills, so I went to the Academy hoping to get what I was unable to get from other training. My goals were completely fulfilled. I received a solid foundation in hypnosis and hypnotherapy and learned how to take hypnotherapy to new heights and greater depths. As a result of the Academy training, I now do hypnotic work more efficiently and more effectively than with my prior training. Because the quality of my work as a hypnotherapist has significantly improved through the Academy training, I can offer greater value to my patients, and I can more easily market my practice.

Because of the quality of training and because of the deeply enriching personal experiences students receive, I highly recommend the Hypnotherapy Academy of America for any lay person, health professional or mental health professional who wants to become an excellent hypnotherapist."

"Attending the Hypnotherapy Academy was one of the best things I have ever done for myself! The training under Tim Simmerman’s exceptional leadership is a comprehensive and thorough educational process. Upon completion of this excellent curriculum, I know that the Academy’s graduates will be in the highest percentage of successful hypnotherapists throughout the world. Not only did the exceptional hypnosis training prepare me for a rewarding and successful career as a hypnotherapist, it also provided me with a network of valued associates, my fellow classmates."

"After I received an in-class hypnotherapy demo session from one of the instructors, thirty years of post-surgical back pain is now GONE!
I have been pain-free and comfortable for a month now, I don't have a new back, but I have complete comfort now. I also learned the tools to control my perception of pain and my behavior around the expectation of discomfort. I know now that I am in control of how I choose to experience by body, my mind, and the world. PURELY LIFE CHANGING!"
"Thank you Hypnotherapy Academy for the PERSONAL TRANSFORMATION, I'M ENJOYING THE RESULTS OF YOUR PROGRAM. I am a different person than the one who showed up in Santa Fe a few months ago. I have a new company, I have a beautiful new office, I have my first clients and a series of 4 seminars already booked... Can't wait to see what happens when I actually have business cards, a brochure and a web site (all coming soon)."

Mark Avnet, CHt,

"I never expected how much transformation is possible with this work. This hypnotherapy training went far beyond my expectations. The incredible amount of wonderfully presented material and deep wisdom touched my heart on a very deep level. The combination of hypnosis and very profound and effective methods of processing is incredible. To see the profound changes in my classmates and myself is such a gift, I feel deep gratitude for that. To imagine how much positive change will occur in other people due to this work moves my heart."

"Six years ago my wife passed away from cancer. THIS COURSE HELPED ME FINALLY HEAL. The Academy goes way beyond what is considered an excellent education. Students gain a thorough understanding of hypnotherapy, a wonderful opportunity for personal growth, and a blue print for financial success! The Academy is well deserving of its favorable international reputation."

Trevor Monagham, BA, CHt
Bridgewater, England

"At the Hypnotherapy Academy I REGAINED MY SELF-RESPECT and self-confidence, and now experience self-acceptance, self-understanding and self-forgiveness. I made friends and learned how to accept others as they are, I DISCOVERED MY PURPOSE. Thanks to your love and teachings Tim, I experienced the state of grace."

Ellen Callaghan, CHt

"This is the third hypnotherapy school I have attended. I LEARNED MORE IN THE FIRST WEEK at the Hypnotherapy Academy than those other schools combined! Because of Tim and his staff I won’t be needing a fourth."
