Quit smoking in an effective, lasting manner that takes into account your history, health, and needs. Regular cost is $750, but I’m offering this as a package for $600 if you pre-pay. That’s 5 hours over the course of 4 sessions.

Share this important information with your friends and coworkers! Be quitters together and enjoy better health and a longer life.

First appointment: history. During the initial appointment, we’ll discuss your history, any potential pitfalls, your smoking habit, set your quit date, and determine a realistic plan for you. We will also be discussing your support system, behavior changes, and anything I can think of to help you stay quit for good. Never will I berate you for your habit; none of us are saints. I will simply help you get from good to great. This appointment is 90 minutes and includes a complete history.

Before second appointment. Now is the time to cut back on your smoking.  I do not recommend quitting cigarettes cold turkey as it is a shock to your body and often leads to relapse. We will assess how much you are currently smoking, and cut it in half and half again before your last cigarette. I recommend skipping the gum or the patch or the electronic cigarettes. The goal is to be free of all nicotine. If that means you need longer to cut down, that is a smarter option.

Second appointment: loathe cigarettes. We’re going to do some hypnosis and Rapid Resolution Therapy at this appointment. We’re going to change the way your mind stores data so that you loathe the idea of smoking. This is going to be your quit day, the day before quit day, or as close as we can arrange it with our mutual schedules. If you want to have your last puffs before you see me, we could do it that way also. We’re going to use strong words and imagery to make smoking absolutely repulsive.This appointment is 90 minutes.

Note: If there are issues that I feel are relevant as obstacles and need clearing before your smoking (perhaps you smoke because of anxiety symptoms or there is concurrent substance abuse), we will be using the second appointment to clear that issue instead. If that issue is more involved, I will tell you during the first appointment and we will discuss pricing.

Quit Day. The day you wake up free of the chains of tobacco use and enjoy detoxification in every cell throughout your day. You’re already doing wonderful things for your body and mind just in the first day.

Third appointment: recheck. We check in and discuss how it’s been. This will be shortly after Quit Day, maybe in a few days or a week. If there were any cravings, I want to make them absolutely gone. If there was any gap, I want to be sure we institute behaviors and thoughts to immunize you from them in the future. This appointment is one hour.

Fourth appointment: final recheck. This appointment is a check in to see how things have been going. It should occur somewhere between two and six weeks from the third appointment. This is to make sure that you’re on the path and doing great. This appointment is one hour.
