NAET: Allergy Elimination
Many medical professionals can be certified in NAET allergy elimination technique such as Acupuncturists, Chiropractors, Nurse Practitioners and Medical Doctors. NAET allergy elimination technique may be a good option if you suffer from food or chemical allergies or sensitives. This technique eliminates the allergen over a series of non-invasive energetic treatments so you're no longer allergic to the substance.
Acupuncture Physicians:
When looking for an acupuncturist it is important to find one who is certified by NCCAOM, the national regulating board, to ensure a set of standards and requirements have been fulfilled. Only Acupuncturists/Acupuncture Physicians can be board certified.
Not everyone who 'Practices Acupuncture' is an 'Acupuncturist'.
NCCAOM Diplomats of Oriental Medicine (the highest level of national board certification for an acupuncturist) receive a minimum of 2,700 hours and up to 3,500 hours of required training in acupuncture, meridian theory, chinese medicine, ethics, safety and clinical internship under supervision, as well as undergo four rigorous National Board examinations (in Oriental medicine, Acupuncture, Bio-Medicine and Chinese Herbology) in order to practice. This is an alarming contrast with other medical professionals who claim to practice acupuncture such as Physical Therapists who can have as little as 40 hours of education, Chiropractors only 100 hours of education and other medical professionals only up to 300 hours. If you want Acupuncture, find an NCCAOM board certified Acupuncturist.

Body Code / Emotion Code:
Body Code is a system which looks at energetic imbalances in the body that are underlining contributing factors to emotional and physical ailments. These energetic imbalances stem from 6 major categories: Energies (includes the Emotion Code which addresses underlining "trapped emotions" that can contribute to physical and emotional ailments if not properly released), Circuits and Systems, Toxins, Pathogens, Misalignments, and Nutrition and Lifestyle. By determining and correcting underlining imbalances, only then can we see potential for true healing. Body Code / Emotion Code is a form of energy medicine. Whether you believe in it or not, our energetic is directly connected with our physical, mental and emotional systems and can have great influence if imbalanced. An extensive training course, exam and submitted and reviewed case studies are required to become a Body Code / Emotion Code practitioner, whoever no other medical background is necessary for this type of energy healing.
Psychologist / Mental Health Counselor:
Being a human can be hard. "Most people can benefit from therapy at least some point in their lives. Sometimes the signs are obvious but at other times, something may feel slightly off and you can’t figure out what it is (source)." I'm a firm believe that everyone should have a great therapist. Just know that finding the right therapist is just as important as going to therapy at all. It's perfectly normal to shop around until you find the best fit.
