Kimberlee Zetocha Halverson
Psychologist, Ph.D, LP
I have extensive training and experience with behavior modification therapy. I start with learning what purpose or function the behaviors serve. Next, we explore if there is a healthier alternative, discover the root cause of the behavior, and/or focus on habit reduction and eventually elimination. I studied and researched self-control across my graduate training for children and adults.

Smoking is personal to me. I grew up with a father who smoked until he had a triple bypass. And even then, I had to hold up a mirror so he could see where his chest had been sawed open before he stopped asking for cigarettes.
I offer a money-back stop-smoking program based on hypnosis and energy psychology. It’s $599 for four sessions – paid up front (unless you can’t afford that). If you smoke a pack a day, you’ll break even in four months. By the end of a year, you’ll be up $1200. More importantly, you’ll be a different person.
This might be a bold statement, but my program is not just about stopping a bad habit – it’s about replacing it with a good one. For most smokers, smoking is not “just” a habit or an addiction, it’s an emotional coping mechanism. You’re anxious, you need a smoke. You’re angry, you need a smoke. You’re bored, you need a smoke. Those emotions and triggers don’t go away when you stop smoking.
But when you replace a cigarette with a short walk or a 5-minute meditation or a 3-minute energy psychology “tapping sequence” that addresses the emotional need, you diminish the emotional need. You learn new and healthy ways to cope. You actually become less anxious or angry and more aware of what you really need to do to have a better life.
So I invite you to call me and get started. You’ll breathe easier, and so will the people around you.
