UNITED STATES (continued): California

The Certified Hakomi Practitioners and Certified Hakomi Therapists in this directory have all acheived the same level of training and competency in the Hakomi Method. The Certified Hakomi Therapists (CHT's) include those who are licensed to practice psychotherapy, marriage and family therapy, medicine, nursing, or clinical social work in the State of California; and may integrate other modalities into their practices as well. However, the word "Therapist" in the CHT title does not necessarily denote "psychotherapist", but may represent instead an individual who is (e.g.) a qualified hypnotherapist, massage therapist, occupational therapist, etc. Licensed psychotherapists / marriage and family therapists are indicated by the title "MFT" and their license numbers.

Both Certified Hakomi Therapists and Certified Hakomi Practitioners (CHP's) may also apply the Hakomi approach in non-clinical practices and settings, including: holistic and alternative healing, hypnotherapy, addictions counseling, bodywork, movement work, social work, pastoral and spiritual counseling, relationship work, somatic education and resource building, teaching mindfulness and meditation, group facilitation, parenting classes, conflict resolution, multicultural and diversity work, educational and organizational consulting and coaching.

The descriptions below will give you information on how each individual incorporates Hakomi into their practice or professional work.
