Smoking Cessation

Quitting smoking is difficult—but you don't have to do it through willpower alone.

​

Nicotine is highly addictive, and quitting can involve much more than simply deciding to stop. Cravings, stress, habits, routines, and difficult emotions can all make it challenging to quit and stay quit.

 

I offer evidence-based psychological treatment for smoking cessation, with options for both individual and group treatment.

Telehealth Therapy to Stop Smoking

Individual Smoking Cessation

 

Individual treatment gives us the opportunity to focus specifically on your smoking or nicotine use and the situations that make quitting difficult.

 

Together, we can work on:

  • Understanding your smoking patterns and triggers

  • Managing cravings and withdrawal

  • Changing habits and routines associated with smoking

  • Developing strategies for stressful or difficult situations

  • Preventing and managing slips or relapse

  • Building confidence in your ability to remain smoke-free

 

Treatment is individualized to your goals and circumstances.

 

Smoking Cessation Group

​

I also offer a structured smoking cessation group for people who prefer the support and accountability of working toward a common goal with others.

The group provides a combination of education, practical strategies, skills for managing cravings and triggers, and support from others who are also working to quit.

​

Group treatment can be especially helpful if you want both professional guidance and the motivation that comes from doing this with other people.

 

Which Is Right for You?

 

Individual treatment may be a good fit if you want personalized attention, have a complicated history with smoking or quitting, or prefer working one-on-one.

 

Group treatment may be a good fit if you value structure, shared experiences, and the accountability of a group.

​

If you're not sure which option is right for you, we can discuss that during a brief consultation.

​

Ready to Quit?

​

You don't have to wait until you're completely confident that you're ready.

 

If you're thinking about quitting smoking, I offer a brief, free consultation to answer your questions and help you determine whether individual or group treatment is the better fit.
