Six questions to ask a hypnotherapist

Not all hypnotherapists are the same. Here's how to choose one.

Hypnotherapy is an unregulated field, which means anyone can call themselves a hypnotist regardless of training. These six questions will help you find someone qualified, experienced, and right for your specific situation.

Use these six questions to help ensure that you choose an experienced professional:

1. What are your qualifications and certifications?

This question helps determine if the hypnotist has received formal training. Certification ensures they’ve met certain standards of professionalism and competence in the field. Many novice hypnotists get their training from a week long, or even a weekend workshop.

I receive my certification their certification through the International Medical and Dental Hypnotherapy Association.

2. How long have you been practicing and what’s your specialty?

Experience often correlates with expertise. By understanding their specialty, you can determine if they’re well-suited to address your specific needs.

Minnesota Hypnotherapy has been in business since 2016 and specializes in public speaking, reducing anxiety, gaining inner confidence, overcoming fears or phobias, and eliminating self-sabotage.

3. What is your approach or method?

Hypnotherapy has various techniques and methods. Understanding their approach helps set expectations and ensures you’re comfortable with the process.

At Minnesota Hypnotherapy, I use a combination of traditional Hypnosis, Neuro-Linguistic Programming, conversational hypnosis, self-directed neuroplasticity techniques, and more to help you achieve your goals.

4. Can you provide references or testimonials from previous clients?

First-hand accounts of past clients’ experiences can give you insight into the hypnotist’s effectiveness and professionalism. Positive testimonials can offer reassurance, while any negative feedback can be a red flag.

You’ll find both video testimonials and written testimonials from actual clients throughout the website.

5. Do you provide any support or resources for clients outside of session times?

Some hypnotists offer additional resources like recordings, readings, or exercises to help reinforce the work done during sessions. It also indicates their commitment to your overall well-being.

Between sessions, you have access to a private portal with hypnotic recordings, breathwork tools, and pattern-interruption techniques designed for 5 to 15 minutes a day.

6. How do you stay updated with the latest research?

The field of coaching and hypnosis, like any other professional field, continues to evolve. A practitioner who keeps up with the latest findings and methodologies offers the most effective and up-to-date methods and techniques.

I spend thousands of dollars every year attending seminars and conferences (like Hypnothoughts Live in Las Vegas) to increase my knowledge in the field. I value life-long learning, and am committed to grow as a person and practitioner.

What to expect during your Free Call:

I loved my experience with X-Factor Hypnosis. My stress level reduced by a lot right away, which was an added bonus! I could feel and see small changes in my life which included having better habits and I no longer am fighting with myself to do the things a want to be doing to get to my goal.

Josh is such an incredible person to work with. The reason why I went to see Josh was to help me overcome some fears and anxiety. He listens to what I am going through and provides many good suggests. After a few session with Josh, he helped me overcome my negative thinking and have a better connection to my inner self. I have learned to let go the old unsatisfied me and living the new me in a happier and successful life. Thank you.

There has definitely been a major, positive shift in my life since beginning and completing my hypnotherapy sessions with Joshua. I came in mainly wanting to improve my productivity--which did indeed improve--but what I didn't expect to also flourish was my emotional and spiritual well-being. I originally planned to do 6 sessions with Joshua, but due to financial reasons had to cut down to 4 sessions. He was very understanding of this and willing to accommodate when it came to a payment plan. Even though I had to cut my time with him short, I've been able to add and reinforce healthy practices to my daily life by continuing to listen to the hypnotic recordings Joshua provides all his clients. Overall, this has been the best therapy experience I've ever had and I will definitely return to hypnotherapy when facing adversity in the future.

You owe it to yourself to see how far you can go! When I called Joshua this summer, I felt like there was something holding me back. I was doing all the right things (at least I thought I was). I had a good education, worked hard, climbed the ladder, etc. But still, things just weren’t clicking for me. It felt like the universe didn’t want me to succeed. Then I found Joshua. He helped me realize the only thing holding me back was myself. His process isn’t magic. You won’t bark like a dog or get “fixed” in a day. It’s also not easy. You’ll need to have an open mind, be willing to learn, and recognize that you are A BIG PART of the problem. Seriously. You. Just like I was to me. But that’s how Joshua helps. He’ll teach you how to stop the self-sabotage, so you can have the life YOU WANT TO HAVE. It’s doable. Relatively simple. And it works, provided you do the work. Now, if you don’t do the work, it probably won’t help. But who’s fault is that, really? You can’t be a star, without at least a little burn. For crying out loud! Stop reading reviews and do it already.

Josh is a very gifted hypnotherapist!! He balances professionalism and personal rapport so well that I felt both safe and comfortable with him immediately. I also felt like he has a genuine interest in helping me to meet my goals and he really tailored the whole process to what I need, personally. Josh has a special quality to his voice that is calm and reassuring, but direct. It was very easy to relax into hypnosis and he was unconditionally present, and also very intuitive, throughout the whole process. It’s obvious that he is passionate about what he does and is highly skilled at guiding people in the direction they want to go in life. I came to work with Josh for low self-esteem and issues connecting with others and I felt a tremendous difference within the first week, both inside of myself and in relationship to others. I’m noticing how much smoother, more natural and easy it is to be around people now and how much more at peace I am with myself. It feels like winning the lottery, having the opportunity to work with someone so good at what they do and so sincerely interested in helping people reach their best potential. I highly recommend Josh to anyone-from any age or background-who wants to change their life for good.

When I started with Joshua, I was feeling low motivation. I was not productive in my work. I had many projects and goals and I was not making any progress which was causing me to feel even worse. When I decided to work with Joshua, I had no previous experience with hypnosis. During our sessions, I was amazed at how I was able to enter a deep hypnotic state and then come out of feeling completely refreshed. Now I am able to complete productive work consistently every day. After completing the work I did with Joshua, I have a renewed level of confidence in myself and my ability to achieve my goals and make a difference for others.

I have been "quitting smoking" for decades, but I never became a "natural born nonsmoker" until I went through my hypnosis sessions with Josh. It is truly amazing that the countless times I attempted to quit smoking were always agonizing and difficult, yet in just three weeks I don't even think about smoking! Truly amazing. Thanks, Josh!

I heard about hypnotherapy through a random conversation and started looking around for an expert to speak to. I found Josh and got in touch with him. I had a pretty open mind and no expectations. I was having a hard time managing my stress overall and felt like I had lost the will to dig deep. I was giving in to the temptation of food and doing a bit of anxiety eating. Josh and I worked on multiple areas throughout our sessions, but we managed to keep a constant focus on certain areas throughout. He's helped me kill off my anxiety eating, given me valuable tools to handle my stress (rooted in science), and helped me boost my resilience. Thanks to Josh, I've been able to dig into my past and face some of my previous experiences. He is very patient and understanding. I often got the impression that he'd heard my problem before and he knew exactly how to remedy it in our sessions. If you are skeptical, I highly recommend doing some of your own research and then hopping on a quick discovery call with Josh. As long as you approach your sessions with the mindset of letting go of expectations and trusting that you will progress, you will get a lot out of working with Josh in a short period of time. I look forward to working with him again in the future.

Integrated Hypnosis The time I had here was not just helpful, it also opened my eyes to things I was unable to see. What I came in for originally was the only thing that I saw. With Josh and hypnosis I was able to start to clear away the fog that was blocking what were my actual issues. Ive been to many places and they worked for awhile, however with not being able to see what the root causes were it was unable to stick. Change will take effort and it can be done. If you’re really trying to change this is a great place to take those steps. Thanks Josh!

Working with Joshua has been an outstanding experience. Years ago, one of my mentors often talked about the impact a hypnotherapist had on him early in his career. That always stayed with me. My mentor later served in Vietnam, became an Army Ranger, competed in the 1972 Olympics, and went on to become a national championship-winning wrestling coach. Hearing him speak so positively about hypnotherapy made me curious about what it could do in my own life. That curiosity eventually led me to Joshua. Joshua is thoughtful, patient, and an exceptional listener. He took the time to understand what I wanted to work on and made the entire process feel personal rather than one-size-fits-all. I've seen real changes in my mindset, habits, self-discipline, and the way I approach my life. Just as importantly, those changes have continued to build over time. If you're considering hypnotherapy, I would absolutely recommend Joshua. Go into it with an open mind and be willing to engage in the process. I'm very glad I did.

Working with Joshua was super helpful in helping me tame my intense mind. It was interesting to witness my improvement each week. The 6 week hypnotherapy was crucial in me being able to not only witness my mind but be able to make the choices differently then my survival/trauma mind was suggesting!

I walked into my first session 100% open minded. 100% ready to be vulnerable. 100% ready to do the work, no matter how hard it gets. I suffer from Bi-Polar and Depression/anxiety. Joshua helped me set realistic expectations hypnosis is not a cure for these disorders. But it could help manage the symptoms so I may have "a live worth living." I figured anything was worth a shot. In my 1st session Joshua asked me "what my world world would look like without anxiety?" I got hot and sweaty, I started to cry. It feels so impossible. I could not even picture what a day in my life without it would look like. With some coaching we got there, I summed it up to one word! “UNSTOPPABLE” Fast forward 6 weeks of hard work, and just like that If you were to ask me how I feel when I wake up in the morning. “UNSTOPPABLE” If you were to ask me how I felt when stressful situations arise “UNSTOPPABLE” If you were to ask me 6 weeks ago if I thought this was possible I would have told you "no." Thank you Joshua! I appreciate everything you worked with me on. I appreciate you helping me finally have "a life worth living:"

The first picture shows a graph of my sales. The grey line shows the previous year, the blue line shows the current year. I had my first session may 12th. In only 3 weeks, my sales began to sky rocket, and all of the sudden I’m booking more clients then ever. The second picture demonstrates what a day for me looked like before I went to see josh. A single consultation, which eventually led to a client. Not empty, but a far cry from what I wanted as a business owner. The third picture shows what my average week looks like now. I had so much business I had to expand my availability. To what do I attribute my rapid change in success? My belief is that I’ve always been in my own way, and Joshua helped me realize that, and helped me to change that. I went from doing almost nothing to advance my business to creating new materials and working to improve my website and marketing strategy on an almost daily basis. I quit playing video games(which had always been a huge problem for me) and I stopped browsing YouTube/social media altogether(another big problem for me, and other people in my generation). Not only that, but I’ve been able to utilize and post on social media as a tool for success without ever feeling tempted to browse it. I’ve started writing a book, and work on it every night before bed, and the research I’ve done to write my book has helped me to do a better job with my clients. I no longer feel nervous or anxious before my sessions with my clients, I used to be afraid that they wouldn’t show up, and josh taught me ways of improving client attendance and helped me deal with my nerves. If you want to understand why it is that hypnotherapy works so well, then you have to understand something about what hypnotherapy is. Everything we do and feel is a product of our habits, behaviors, and self talk, developed by years of associations and experiences. Hypnotherapy uses an almost dreamlike state of mind and powerful suggestive ideas to create new associative pathways in the brain, changing the self talk that takes, and ultimately the habits and behaviors. In situations where you used to say “I don’t want to do this” instead you say “I’m okay with doing this” and then eventually “I’m excited about doing this.”

Working with Josh really helped me calm my inner mind, focus on what I truly want, and realize that clarity isn’t about doing more—it’s about aligning with what matters most. His ability to listen deeply, guide without pressure, and create a space where I could untangle both business and personal thoughts has been powerful. After just a couple months, I feel more grounded, confident, and clear about my next steps. If you’re looking for someone who can help you cut through the noise and connect with your own inner direction, I can’t recommend Josh enough.

I’ve spent a lot of time working on identity and the idea of a “next-level self,” and I’ve always believed in how powerful hypnosis and imagery can be. That’s what led me to the Your Next Level Self workshop with Minnesota Hypnotherapy, and I’m really glad I went. What stood out to me was how natural and grounded the whole experience felt. It wasn’t about overthinking or trying to force anything. It was about actually stepping into that version of yourself in a way that felt real and accessible. During the process, I could feel the shift happening, not just mentally but in my body. That made it so much easier to trust and stay connected to it afterward. I left feeling more aligned, more clear, and more connected to the direction I’m moving in. I’m really grateful for the space Joshua created and how he guided the experience. It felt supportive, intentional, and easy to be in. If you’ve been wanting to feel more connected to where you’re going, instead of just thinking about it, I would absolutely recommend this workshop.

I just had a hypnosis treatment from Josh, and my MIND IS BLOWN. I am no stranger to personal work, as a hypnotherapist myself I have received a lot of work and his session was phenomenal. Very thorough, very clear, and very very deep. Josh came at a complicated issue from it's many angles and facets which was both revelatory and healing for me. I am really looking forward to being able to move forward in life without the burden of having to manage the issue in the very poor way that I was before his help. Thank you a million times!!!! And yes, I absolutely recommend him, even from a distance, as we did our session via video online.

The results were way beyond what I expected, but was hopeful I would get. I worked with Joshua on my health and eating issues. I have been a yo-yo dieter all my life. I've tried every diet you can imagine. I've been through therapy, eating disorder therapy, EMDR- you name it. Joshua's process was very effective. The hypnosis made me see things in ways I hadn't been aware of or considered before. I saw him for 3.5 months, lost 20 pounds and am in a different mindset than in the past. Thank you Joshua. I highly recommend giving hypnotherapy with Joshua a try-you'll love the results

I came for hypnosis due to a persistent cough. I was told by my referring doctor that my coughing had a psychological component which was not being reached. I was willing to see what hypnosis might do for me as I have been working on the coughing for over 6 years. After the first session I felt immediate relief. No the cough was not gone, but the breathing was now deep and about 50% better .I knew then that this would definitely help me. As we progressed (6 total sessions) the coughing had diminished by about 85%. That is a win in my eyes because I know I continue to heal from many years of coughing. The added benefit were other issues that the sessions allowed me to access and begin to sort out which were contributing to the underlying coughing. Dr. Peters conducted himself with honesty and intergrity at all times .I was at ease with him at all times and the results of the interaction.

I've been to numerous hypnotists prior to Joshua but he is right at the top. He takes the time to get to know you and find out what works best for you. He doesn't try for the quick fix, instead working with you to figure out where the problems are coming from. I would highly recommend him.

I came to hypnosis looking for support with focus, presence, and communication. Joshua led me through 6 hypnotherapy session and I was amazed how each week I made huge leaps in each of these areas. I really enjoyed the process of learning to work with my subconscious to see why I was holding on to unhelpful patterns to thinking and being and to show my subconscious new ways that were more reflective of who I wanted to be. I would highly recommend working with Joshua if you want to break old patterns and step into a new version of yourself. I am so grateful for this experience and I now have tools I can use daily to maintain the work we did in our sesions.

I reached out to Joshua to see whether hypnotherapy could be effective in helping me unblock myself creatively. My six sessions were transformational. We addressed a different nuance in each session with a trance focused on rewiring that association or response. I recommend putting in the time to do the prep work, the reps of recorded meditations and so forth, to set yourself up for success. The more you focus on where you want to get to, the more success you'll have. In the space of my initial sessions I experienced a fundamental shift in how comfortable I felt in public speaking, dialed back my anxiety baseline, and I played the piano again purely for the joy of it for the first time in years.

This was my first experience with hypnosis and Josh was incredible! He really listened to my concerns and helped me work through the fears I was having. At first I was a little hesitant to seek out hypnosis and then afraid of being disappointed in the results. Josh took the time to sit down and listen to my concerns with being hypnotized and walked me through the whole process. He even listened to my feedback about how to make my hypnosis session even more powerful (I found benefit from increased relaxation time to help me get deeper into hypnosis) and then incorporated this into each of our sessions. I was happy to report back each week that I was calmer, my boundaries firmer, and my business was flourishing! I wouldn't hesitate sending my friends and family members to Josh!

I went to Josh with MN Hypnotherapy to help quit smoking after nothing else worked. I was a smoker for 26 years before my 1st session with Josh and am completely blown away with the results! I am happy to say that I am currently 7 weeks completely smoke free with zero cravings! Along with my session I was given additional tools to use at home that I have found extremely helpful however have not needed to use them as much as I thought I would. For anyone curious about quitting tobacco and wondering if hypnosis would work for you, I highly highly recommend & couldn’t be more pleased with my results! The location is wonderful, easy to find and Josh is extremely easy to work with and quick to reply with any questions you might have about the process! I had 1 minor set-set back/family crisis that got me started with smoking again for 1-2 weeks but Josh was very quick to get me back in for another session and I’ve been again smoke free ever since! I just can’t say enough positive things about how his process works and sets you up for success long term!

I never really liked driving; it was just a necessary reality of living and working in the Twin Cities. Yet I wasn’t anxious about it – until I began having panic attacks while driving and found myself relying on others to give me rides. I needed a better solution and looked into several options. I was intrigued by the approach offered by Joshua Peters, The X-Factor Coach. Within a few sessions, I was driving again without concern and even enjoying it, appreciating the freedom and the confidence it provided. Moreover, the process itself was relaxing and confidence-building. I showed up each week with positive anticipation and left with an extra pep in my step – calm, confident and ready for whatever might come my way and for whatever I hoped to manifest in my life. Joshua’s process ignited a welcome growth spurt that I didn’t expect. What I learned from Joshua surpassed the driving issue by integrating core aspects of my personal and professional life. Joshua is a gifted coach who works well with business owners because he understands our drive to succeed and the many roles and responsibilities that we shoulder. He is fully committed to the client’s goals; he is empathetic, kind and caring, yet direct and focused in helping you move forward. He is generous with his time and provides many tools and resources, including videos, e-books and audio recordings. Our conversations were thought-provoking, with ample opportunity for reflection and for transformation.

Joshua is phenomenal at what he does. I started working with him because I found myself in a perpetual cycle of leaning on healthy coping skills in times of stress, and backing off when I was out of stress. This led to a pattern of doing really well in life, and then slowly falling back to old habits and abandoning the behaviors that got me feeling/performing well again. He has not only helped me identify what underlying beliefs and experiences cause me to perpetuate this cycle, but he's augmented my toolbox and given me so many resources to help me continually improve instead of bouncing to extremes. I highly recommend him to anyone that is a busy professional looking to level and find a new gear.

I came to Joshua because I was sick of my fear of public speaking holding me back in my work. His focus on executive coaching was a perfect fit and with his help I tackled a stressful project and "cracked the code" on my public speaking fears. This was a hugely successful professional development investment for me. I wish I had been able to do this earlier in my career and encourage others to work with him!

Like many, I didn’t know what to expect going in, but when I started working with Josh, I knew he was going to help me in ways that I wouldn’t anticipate. From giving my tools to help my procrastination to helping me strengthen my emotional self, it was time and money well spent. Strangely, the thing he probably helped me most with was helping me process long held doubts and questions I had with my father. It went from mild blame and a touch of animosity to a deeper understanding and peace with a man who was deeply troubled, and helped me process those feelings in a way I don’t think would have been possible otherwise. I’m a better human after working with Josh, and I can be a better father now too.

I came to Joshua when I was at a low point in my life. I had been dealing with panic disorder for around 8 years now. Joshua helped introduce me to a different way of therapy. His techniques for calming the body when in a crisis have been extremely useful to me. It feels better knowing that I have skills to cope better on a daily basis. Joshua has given me a new positivity to take forward in my mental health journey.

Joshua is a phenomenal resource, I'm so grateful to have gotten connected with him.

Before coming to Josh, I had overwhelming anxiety and stress with numerous things in my life. I had read a couple books, tried online practices, meditation, pretty much everything on my own. Josh was very welcoming. I enjoyed his process and using his own experiences that I could relate to too make sense of where I was mentally. The hypnosis portion of each session was very "zen" is the best way I can explain it. Digging deep and bringing things to the surface felt extremely good. Each week I went through different breathing techniques and various guided meditations. I can say after 6 weeks I feel more confident in my mind and what I'm feeling when something triggers that stressful/anxiety filled situation. I highly recommend Josh to anyone that is currently at a road block for what to do with stress and especially anxiety. Thanks for the sessions and tools, Josh. It was great! Harv

Josh is great. He is very professional in what he does and will help you get to the root of the issues that are causing your problem. Not only are the in-person sessions highly beneficial, but also some recordings he will give you to listen to in between sessions. Highly recommend his services.

I came to Josh after experiencing panic attacks while driving on the highway. I was desperate to get this under control and traditional therapy wasn’t making a noticeable difference. I’m so thankful I chose to work with Josh. He was very understanding and I felt he was invested in me and my issue. Our sessions ended a few months ago and I am now able to drive from MN to SD to see my family without panic and fear. The process is safe and the benefit is real. At no point was I unaware of what was taking place. I did a combination of face to face and video sessions. The anxiety was awful and I’m so thankful I engaged in this process with Josh. What a relief - literally.

I was looking for help with my anxiety I had about flying. At one time I flew without any issues, then I started to fear flying. Joshua was able to provide the help I needed to fly again without fear. Since Joshua help me I have taking two flights without any issues. Thank You Joshua for your guidance and help. Charlie

Josh is an awesome hypnotist to work with! He really makes sure to spend quality time with his clients to help them achieve their goals. After one session I noticed a difference in my life! I have been struggling to get my conscious and subconscious to align, as in do the things I really want to do, and working with Josh has done just that. I kind of felt like Josh was a coach too, he really helped me in a few areas with my business and gave me some valuable advice. I highly recommend!

I recently finished my hypnosis sessions with Joshua Peters, and I’m so glad I took this step. When I reached out, I was feeling stressed and overwhelmed by the new challenges I kept facing. I wanted to gain clarity and feel more at ease. The results have been amazing. I feel noticeably calmer, more empowered, and I’ve gained a clear sense of direction. This has been a truly positive transformation for me. What I appreciated most about working with Joshua was his supportive and uplifting approach. He has a remarkable ability to guide you in a way that feels both effective and empowering. If you’re considering hypnosis, I highly recommend Joshua. It’s a powerful experience that can help you make meaningful changes. Thank you, Joshua, for helping me find clarity and calm!

I’ve had great results from working with Josh. He really listened to me when we talked about what I wanted to change and accomplish. It was a very comfortable experience. I saw results very quickly, sooner than I expected. I’m a recent client, so I am continuing to notice improvements. I started hypnosis to address some negative patterns of thinking that I wanted to change. It was a great decision to work with Josh at Integrated Hypnosis.

I went to Josh for anxiety associated with flying but it was more than that, my anxiety was hindering me in every aspect of my life. After a few sessions and over a year later, I am still able to fly with no anxiety and my anxiety in general has gone away for the most part. Rarely if any issues.

I wasn't sure hypnotherapy would work for me, but I got a lot out of it. It did more to help me with long-standing patterns of anxiety and stress than anything else I've tried. Josh was terrific!
