Smoking
Alicia Townsend
Psychologist, PhD, BCN
Smoking can be extremely difficult to stop. Determining the right time to quit is just the first step. Finding adequate replacements, learning your own personal triggers, and developing other coping strategies are some of the ways I can help you to stop smoking.

Smoking
Dr. Linda G. Ritchie, Ph.D.
Psychologist, Ph.D., LPC, LMFT, Certified Hypnotherapist
If you’re a smoker, you’ve likely told yourself more than once, “I need to quit.” You may have tried before—cutting back, using willpower, or even going a few days or weeks without smoking—only to find yourself pulled back into the same habit. It can feel frustrating and discouraging, especially when part of you truly wants to stop.
I help clients stop smoking by addressing the underlying patterns that keep the habit in place—not just the behavior itself. My program uses clinical hypnosis to work directly with the unconscious mind, where the smoking habit is stored, allowing you to change how you think about and respond to cigarettes. I also integrate Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), NLP, and Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT/tapping) to reduce cravings, shift automatic triggers, and strengthen your ability to remain a non-smoker. This is not about relying on willpower—it’s about changing the internal programming that drives the habit.
What’s often missing isn’t motivation—you already have reasons to quit. What’s missing is a way to break the automatic connection between triggers and the urge to smoke. Without that shift, the habit tends to return, even when you’re committed to stopping.
The fact that you’re here suggests you’re ready to do this differently. My program is designed to help you stop smoking in a single, focused session lasting a couple of hours. If you’re ready to become a non-smoker, I can help you make that change in a way that feels more natural, more permanent, and more aligned with the life you want.

Smoking
Aria Fraser
Hypnotherapist, Certified Rapid Transformational Therapist
Smokers are often afraid of what will happen to them and what kinds of changes will occur if they quit smoking, and they might have one or more of these beliefs: 'I'm addicted to nicotine', 'It helps me cope with stress/weight/boredom', 'I'm not strong enough to quit or cope without it'. Using Rapid Transformational Therapy, a smoker is assisted to 'rewire' their mind to associate disgust or psychological pain toward smoking, as opposed to the desire to smoke. The need to have any addiction usually originates from an unconscious belief that a person does not feel like they are enough deep down. This belief is created by the mind based on experiences in a person's early life, making the brain think that an addiction can fill the need to feel enough. RTT gets to the root of the beliefs, where they can then be reframed, interrupted, released, then replaced with beneficial beliefs. A person's pattern of thought is changed by creating beliefs that are positive and empowering, to form a feeling of pleasure from breathing fresh air, saving money, becoming healthier, etc. The mind is being changed at the subconscious level, meaning that quitting does not require one's willpower alone (though some is needed). Ongoing support after the session will be available.
