HMI College of Hypnotherapy

Alternative to a Traditional Psychology Degree?

Many students are choosing HMI’s Diploma in Clinical Hypnotherapy and Associate of Occupational Studies Degree Program as an alternative to a traditional psychology degree. Why? Because a Bachelor’s Degree in Psychology does not make you eligible to practice psychology. Practicing psychology requires a minimum of a Master’s Degree. If you’re 35-55+ years old it can be a hardship to return to school for a Bachelor’s Degree just to get a “general education.”

Even if you already have a Bachelor’s Degree, time is still an issue when you consider that after the two years it takes to finish your Master’s Degree in Psychology, you must still acquire 3,000 hours of Internship and pass a State Exam before you can begin private practice.

Top reasons to choose HMI as an alternative to a traditional psychology degree:

  • HMI’s one- and two-year programs include clinical internship and the opportunity to “Earn While you Learn.” Traditional psychology takes between 5 to 10 years before you can start your private practice.
  • HMI Tuition is a fraction of the cost of a traditional graduate school of psychology.
  • HMI training teaches you how to build a Zoom based private practice from the safety of your own home and the marketing and supervision psychology programs generally do not.
  • HMI courses are fun, entertaining and prepare you to immediately begin helping people with a wide variety of self-improvement goals.
