Quitting smoking can be challenging, especially when it has become part of your routine or a way to cope with stress. You may have tried before and found it hard to stick with. In therapy we will focus on understanding the habits and triggers connected to smoking while building strategies to help you quit in a way that feels manageable. The goal is to support you in making lasting changes and improving your overall health.

Chris Doorley
Marriage and Family Therapist, AMFT, MA
Smoking cessation, like most substance use habits, is about finding out what drives cravings, and how to minimize and manage cravings without picking up again every time they arise. Essentially, I approach this the same way I do meditation— practice noticing what you notice so you can then practice responding thoughtfully, not reacting impulsively; responsiveness replaces reactivity... with a little practice.

Chico is a north-state California city home to California State University Chico and the closest significant urban center to Paradise, the community almost entirely destroyed by the 2018 Camp Fire—the most destructive wildfire in California history—and the city's mental health landscape has been profoundly shaped by absorbing tens of thousands of Camp Fire survivors who relocated to Chico bringing acute wildfire trauma, grief, and the ongoing stress of rebuilding lives after catastrophic loss. Butte County Behavioral Health provides public mental health services, and many local therapists have developed expertise in disaster trauma, environmental grief, and the specific mental health needs of displaced wildfire survivors. Chico State's counseling center serves the significant student population, and the university's presence gives the city a progressive character that supports an open attitude toward mental health support. Common therapy concerns include wildfire-related PTSD and grief, displacement and housing insecurity, student mental health, anxiety, and the long-term psychological impact of living in a region permanently changed by catastrophic fire.
