About Stop Smoking Today

Hypnotherapy for Powerful, Lasting Results

Hi, I’m Steve Axtell. I’m a former smoker, and I understand the smoking habit from the inside. For over 30 years, I have been dedicated to helping folks reclaim their lives from smoking, using a safe and proven hypnosis method that I developed over years of experience. My mission is to guide you—whether you’re a smoker, a healthcare or financial professional looking for a better way to help people stop smoking, or someone supporting a loved one—toward a healthier, smoke-free future.

The focus of my early career was initially with adolescents, then in the area of drug and alcohol rehabilitation and education. For the past 30 years, my focus has been on using Hypnotherapy to help people make rapid changes in unwanted habits, to overcome the blocks that hold them back in life, and to become healthier, happier, and higher functioning.

I graduated from Baylor University in 1970 with a degree in Social Work with an emphasis on Counseling. In 1974, I graduated from the U.S. Department of Defense Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation School, and in 1975, from the Rutgers University School of Alcohol Studies. I became certified in Neuro-Linguistic Programming in 1994, and did extensive training in Hypnotherapy which lead to Certification with the American Board of Hypnotherapy and the National Guild of Hypnotists in 1997.

I’m proud to offer a lifetime backup guarantee for my program, reflecting my confidence and commitment to your patient’s/client’s success. My services are available world wide, with flexible evening and weekend appointments to fit anyone’s schedule.

I believe that quitting smoking is not just about health—it’s about reclaiming your finances and your future. My lifetime backup guarantee ensures ongoing support for every client.
