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.

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.
