When the healthcare reform bill excluded Marriage and Family Therapists and Professional Counselors from Medicare reimbursement last spring, it sent counselors scrambling to find answers. Offering hypnosis and hypnotherapy services is one trend that seems to be on the rise among therapists seeking ways to use their skills without the problems of trying to collect insurance reimbursements. Richard Nongard, a Dallas hypnosis training instructor and licensed marriage and family therapist said, “Counselors are looking for ways to build all-cash private practices for two reasons: First, they want relief from the headache third-party payment brings. Second, they realize the skills they possess extend far beyond helping people with mental illnesses.”

Nongard’s company, Peachtree Professional Education, Inc., hosts a website at www.DallasHypnosisTraining.com and offers state board approved continuing education for mental health professionals. He also offers hypnosis certification classes in the Dallas area. According to Nongard, therapists who attend hypnosis certification training in Dallas report better income, improved client outcomes and greater satisfaction. “Hypnosis is not magic,” he said, “Rather, it uses a natural ability within all of us to change the lifelong subconscious patterns that have kept people from success.” Hypnosis can be used for treating psychological problems like depression and anxiety, but is also used to help people modify behaviors like smoking cessation and overeating. Hypnosis is successfully used as a tool for helping people develop confidence, overcome fears and set goals.

In the past, most therapists depended on treating mentally ill people to create revenue in private practice. Many therapists and counselors now realize that by applying their expertise in helping people make changes, which can be done though hypnotherapy, allows them to build successful private practices with motivated clients willing to pay for services. This has created an expanded market for many of these professionals. “Take weight loss hypnosis alone,” Nongard pointed out. “There are 60 million people in the US with mental illnesses, but there are 103 million overweight individuals – a therapist focusing on helping people achieve goals rather than treating mental illness has twice the market.”

Classes offered by Richard Nongard are listed at www.DallasHypnosisTraining.com and are held monthly in both Dallas and Ft. Worth. People find that they are surprisingly affordable. The new reform will increase the paperwork requirements that take away from client care and decrease reimbursements that typically fund private practice services. Hypnosis training in Dallas is a great way to prepare for the expected changes that will likely cause therapists using traditional models of service delivery to feel frustrated.

Peachtree Professional Education, Inc. offers Dallas hypnosis training classes and publishes resources for mental health and clinical hypnosis professionals. For further information, contact us at (800) 390-9536 or www.dallashypnosistraining.com.

The St. Baldrick’s Foundation is excited to announce the second annual design contest for the Foundation’s 2011 t-shirts. The contest requests entrants to design a t-shirt for the expected 60,000 St. Baldrick’s shavees, volunteers and donors in 2011. The contest will run from Monday, June 7 to Sunday, August 15 at midnight PST. The winning design will be announced on Thursday, September 9 on www.stbaldricks.org and in a national press release.

The St. Baldrick’s Foundation is seeking a design that captures their mission, their commitment to childhood cancer research, and also the excitement and heartfelt spirit of head-shaving events. The Foundation’s slogan of “Let’s Conquer Kids’ Cancer” is the focus of the 2011 marketing movement; all entrants are encouraged to incorporate this idea into their proposed design. For complete contest details and rules, please see below.

The winning design will be used on the more than 60,000 t-shirts worn by St. Baldrick’s shavees, volunteers, and donors during 2011. The winning designer will not only see their design printed on more than 50,000 t-shirts; but they will also receive a prize pack from first-time contest sponsor WARHEADS that includes a 25 oz bag of WARHEADS Extreme Sour Hard Candy, a WARHEADS t-shirt, bandana, beanie and waterbottle. WARHEADS will also provide the winner with a $250 cash prize and make a $250 donation to the Foundation in the designer’s name. The second and third place submissions will also receive the WARHEADS prize pack and their designs will be sold in the St. Baldrick’s CafePress store.

This marks the second year WARHEADS has supported the St. Baldrick’s Foundation. In 2010, the brand sponsored the “WARHEADS for Baldheads” Team from Centennial Middle School in Boulder, Colo., which raised over $13,000 for the cause. “Last year we reached out to our more than 200,000 Facebook fans to help raise donations to support the team and this important cause,” states WARHEADS Consumer Marketing Manager, Tony Porter. “We even heard from childhood cancer survivors on our WARHEADS Facebook page thanking us for our involvement. That just reinforced our core belief that our brand is about more than just sour candy that we can use the power of WARHEADS to give back to our most devoted fans – kids.”

This year is a landmark year for the St. Baldrick’s Foundation in its efforts to fund research for childhood cancer. The Foundation has already raised more than $20.1 million in 2010 – surpassing its best year of fundraising, and looks forward to funding more research than ever before! Since 2000, St. Baldrick’s has raised more than $89 million for childhood cancer research by shaving more than 145,000 heads – including more than 12,000 women and 28,500 children – at more than 3,200 events worldwide.
