NBCCH continues its commitment to the diversity of its certificants, to support best practices, and to provide information and options to the public. Above all, NBCCH aims to promote the diverse talents and skills of its certificants. Our body of vetted trainers and our certification services continue to expand.

About

Our founder, Ron Klein, began NBCCH 30+ years ago, and grew it into one of the premier certifying boards for hypnotherapists.  For decades, Ron was known for training hypnotherapists in Ericksonian methods and NLP.  In 2019, Lorrie Fisher came on board as Ron's Director of Membership.  By the end of 2021 Ron had closed his institute and office due to failing health, and the legal transfer of NBCCH to Lorrie began. Perhaps due to Long COVID, Ron interrupted that transfer by posting a surprise announcement that NBCCH would terminate effective New Year's Eve 2021. With a new NBCCH website in hand, Lorrie relaunched NBCCH effective New Years Day 2022.  Thanks to the loyalty and enthusiasm of our certificants, once again, NBCCH is thriving. If you couldn't find NBCCH for a while, we're glad to see you again!

​

Lorrie Fisher is a PhD psychophysiologist licensed as a marriage and family therapist, and is board certified in biofeedback /neurofeedback. Her practice consists of remotely supervised at-home neurofeedback and biofeedback.. Her education includes architecture and medicine, with a bit of bio-hacking on the side.  To learn more visit FisherBehavior.com.  Or call the contact number and say hello.
