Smoking
Dr. Sharareh Namjoo
Marriage and Family Therapist, Doctor of Psychology
Quitting smoking involves more than breaking a habit. Nicotine may have become connected to stress relief, emotional comfort, daily routines, and deeply conditioned triggers. Understanding these patterns can make change feel more manageable and sustainable.
I provide compassionate, practical support to help clients identify triggers, manage cravings, strengthen motivation, and develop healthier coping strategies. When appropriate, I integrate CBT, mindfulness, and hypnotherapy to support behavioral change. Therapy can also complement guidance from medical providers and evidence-based smoking-cessation resources, helping you move forward without shame and with greater confidence.

Smoking
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.

Smoking
Carrie Gauthier
Hypnotherapist, Certified Clinical Hypnotherapist, CCHt
My quitting smoking hypnotic programming uses NLP and aversion therapy. You have to really want to do it, and if you do, you should have no problem quitting smoking using this method. It is a three-session protocol and we set the goal of going cold turkey together, or we pick a quit date. I help you with tools and resources to diminish any withdrawal symptoms and give you tools to quickly change your chemical makeup from a low frequency energy to an elevated, peaceful state. We will use a lot of visualization of your smoke-free future and mental rehearsal.
