One-on-one coaching on triggers, daily routines and a written quit plan, in person or by video, usually over several weeks.

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 the directory works
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.
