Smoking
Masha Andreeva
Registered Psychotherapist, HonBA, DTATI, RP
I offer art therapy to support those seeking to stop smoking, drawing from both my personal experience and professional expertise. Through creative expression, you can explore the emotional and psychological triggers behind your smoking habit, externalize those feelings, and gain insight into the underlying patterns. I integrate aspects of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), along with mindfulness and body-based practices, to help you shift thought patterns, manage cravings, and cultivate a deeper sense of self-awareness. This holistic approach supports you in breaking free from old habits, building healthier coping strategies, and reclaiming control over your choices.

Smoking
Nina Hopmeier
Licensed Professional Counsellor, Registered Clinical Counsellor (RCC)
Once people discover a behaviour that becomes a habit, such as smoking, stopping can sometimes seem impossible. When people engage in addictive behaviours, they feel as if they are unable to control their actions. They may also feel distressed or anxious if they were to abstain from the behaviour. Due to the perceived inability to control actions, people often feel disempowered and hopeless, which significantly impacts happiness and wellbeing. In therapy, rather than solely focusing on the detrimental effects of smoking, we focus on the purpose and function of the behaviour. People frequently engage in addictive behaviours due to experiencing beneficial effects. If the behaviour would fail to be reinforcing, they would have no reason to continue with the addiction. Once people acknowledge the purpose of the addictive behaviour, they often view their situation through a compassionate, rather than judgmental lens. Gaining insight and self-compassion are essential ingredients for change and growth.
Another fundamental aspect of therapy is gaining insight into the cause of an addiction. People with addictions often engage in dysfunctional behaviours in order to compensate for something that is lacking in their lives.
The addiction may also be linked to past events, such as trauma or abuse. As a result, we explore the underlying cause of the addiction in order to assist with targeting core issues. With the incorporation of multiple treatment models, such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Dialectical Behavioural Therapy (DBT), and mindfulness approaches clients learn to sit with uncomfortable thoughts and feelings that accompany the addiction.
Over time they learn that having urges does not mean they have to act on them. Instead, they learn how to replace the urges with adaptive coping styles. As they gain control over their addiction, they often feel a sense of empowerment and strength, which instils hope for a new and improved future.

Smoking
Stuart Hellebrand, M.S., C.Ht.
Hypnotherapist
We've all heard the statement that "smoking kills". At the same time, many of us know someone who has fallen victim to damaging health consequences related to nicotine addiction. Hypnotherapy has proven to be a very successful modality at helping relevant clients become ex-smokers. A former client said it best when writing me the following: “You saved my life by helping me become a non-smoker. It sounds strange to say but I feel like I have two fathers: the one who first gave me life, and the one who gave me the rest of my life.” ~ Jim W.
