Stop-smoking coaching, hypnosis & group programs
An independent directory connecting people who want to stop smoking with private cessation coaches, consulting hypnotists, group programs and workplace wellness consultants.
What does a stop-smoking coach or consulting hypnotist do?
Stop-smoking coaches and consulting hypnotists offer educational and motivational support for adults who have decided to stop smoking or vaping: a plan, accountability and regular check-ins, one to one, in a group or by video. These are not healthcare services, and no provider can promise a result. StopSmokingPros is an independent directory that introduces you to one independent provider in Sacramento, Reno, Modesto, Fresno, Boise or Spokane, or by video. Free help is also available from your state's quitline at 1-800-QUIT-NOW (1-800-784-8669).
Who this is for
Adults who have decided to stop smoking or vaping and want structured, practical support from an independent provider: a plan, accountability and someone to check in with. The directory lists educational and motivational services only.
Non-clinical program formats
Providers in the directory are independent, and formats differ in length, setting and price. Many providers offer more than one.
Consulting hypnotists
Private practitioners who use guided hypnosis sessions as a motivational and habit-change tool. The number of sessions and the format vary by practitioner.
Behavioral coaching
One-on-one coaching on triggers and daily routines, in person or by video, usually over several weeks.
Group programs
Small classes built around peer accountability, over a set number of meetings.
Workplace programs
Wellness consultants who run cessation education for employers, teams and union or association members.

Fees: industry estimates
Healthline, citing the American Association of Professional Hypnotherapists, reports that hypnosis sessions average $75 to $125 each, and that some practitioners charge more. Practitioners commonly sell several sessions as a package, so ask for the total cost and what it includes. We have not found a reliable published range for cessation coaching, group classes or workplace programs, so providers quote those directly. These figures are industry estimates, not quotes.
Questions to ask a provider
Credentials in this field come from private training organizations, not the state, so ask directly.
- What does your program include, and how many sessions or meetings is it?
- What is the total cost, and what is included in it?
- What training do you have, and which organization provided it?
- What support do you offer between sessions and after the program ends?
How a request is handled
Tell us your metro and the format you're interested in. A coordinator reviews the request and introduces you to one independent provider whose format fits. You speak with them directly and decide whether to go ahead; the directory takes no part in the program itself.
If you are under a doctor's care for any health condition, talk with your doctor before changing your plan.
