Pediatric Clinical Hypnosis Skill Development Workshops 2026

Details

Our intensive three-day workshops feature a combined lecture-demonstration-experiential training format with a developmental perspective in the use of clinical hypnosis and its empirically supported applications to children and teens with various medical and mental health conditions.

We have 3 levels of workshop available:

• Fundamentals is targeted at clinicians who have not yet completed a pediatric-specific hypnosis training (20+ hours), or those wanting to refresh and solidify fundamental skills.

• Utilization and Clinical Applications is targeted at clinicians who have completed a pediatric-specific hypnosis training and are actively using clinical hypnosis with pediatric patients.

• Case-based Advanced Masterclasses is our newest workshop offering targeted at clinicians who have completed both NPHTI Fundamentals and Utilization/Clinical Applications. This new workshop is designed for practicing clinicians who want to learn through participant-prepared cases to enhance patient care.

  • Participants receive extensive training with a dedicated faculty mentor, supporting clinicians ready to deepen their knowledge and expertise in pediatric hypnosis.

  • Unique format: Clinicians consult in a small group (max = 10) with faculty who have expertise in that topic.

  • To be eligible for this workshop, you must have completed both the NPHTI Fundamentals and Utilization & Expanded Clinical Application Workshops. On each half day a Faculty will impart key concepts for one of these domains below, followed by participants who will bring to discuss their own prepared cases for group problem-solving and learning. Each participant will be asked to prepare at least 4 clinical cases of the 6 topics below. Cases would include a short, written case overview, audio recording and/or video recording to contribute and discuss with faculty and fellow participants to integrate the topic learnings.
