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.
