I really enjoyed the session and found you very easy to talk to. In addition to quitting smoking, I was also able to stick with my new workout routine and actually lost 50 pounds in under a year. Thank you for what you helped me do.

Rob M. Commerce City, CO

You took the time to understand me and my life and how smoking affected it, and provided me with engaging intellectual conversation about smoking patterns that really tipped the scales of reason in my favor

Brian B Denver. CO

You have given me the confidence to be a nonsmoker and to feel good about myself doing it. I was also able to incorporate your program into other aspects of my life. I am working out and even running a little. Just wanted to say thank you.

Catie P. Broomfield, CO

For me today marks almost a year since I quit, after 38 years of being a smoker. I couldn't believe it is possible, but Frank convinced me otherwise. Thank you Frank! Your coaching and advice were the best hours I spent in my life! If there is one thing I'll remember, it is "You are a non-smoker now!" And this makes me proud. Thank you very much!"

All You Have To Change Is Your Mind

The name HypNoSmoke has been part of the stop-smoking community for over twenty years — but today it represents much more than hypnosis. At Denver Tobacco Clinic, Frank Oden’s coaching-based method integrates cognitive, behavioral, and mindfulness strategies to help people create lasting freedom from nicotine and other self-limiting habits.

As a former 30-year smoker turned clinician, speaker, and wellness coach, Frank has worked with thousands of clients across more than 20 years in behavioral health and over 30,000 hours of individual and group coaching. His methods draw on positive psychology, cognitive-behavioral tools, mindfulness, and motivational science to support genuine, sustainable change.

Through Denver Tobacco Clinic, Frank’s signature programs combine clinical best practices with flexible coaching techniques to address both the mental and behavioral sides of smoking and relapse. Hypnosis recordings are provided as reinforcement after cessation, but the coaching process is focused on positive mindset, decisiveness, and strengths-based, self-directed behavior change.

Whether your goal is to change a specific behavior or to create a broader shift toward personal well-being, Frank offers a clear process, practical tools, and the perspective needed to support meaningful, lasting change.

Traditional Hypnosis

Requires you to be “ready to quit” before your appointment

Follows a one-size-fits-all scripted experience

Typically a single pass/fail intervention

Repeats the same hypnosis script if relapse occurs

Presents hypnosis as the complete solution

Relies on a trance or “magic bullet” expectation

HypNoSmoke Coaching

Coaching at your pace — preparation through follow-up

Every engagement is client-specific and adaptive

Structured as a multi-session, goal-driven process

Uses tools from CBT, mindfulness, and positive psychology

Hypnosis recordings available only as optional reinforcement

Builds self-awareness, confidence, and long-term mastery

Personal Coaching

Becoming nicotine-free—or changing your relationship with cannabis—doesn’t depend on willpower alone. What matters most is finding the approach that fits you.

In private coaching, I help you apply your own strengths, insight, and experience to build the mindset and structure for success. Each client engagement is unique and entirely client-centered, combining principles from cognitive-behavioral coaching, mindfulness, and positive psychology to support steady, confident progress.

A typical program spans about 30 days, moving from assessment and preparation through action and follow-up integration. For an additional layer of reinforcement after success, I include a recorded hypnosis audio to support continued confidence.

I wanted to say thank you! Since taking your seminar back in March I have stayed a non-smoker 'til my final day. My mother hasn't had a smoke since the seminar either! You were incredible, and you changed my life. I'm healthier, I can smell and taste again. I'm referring everyone I know that wants to quit, to you. Thank You!

Mark B. Denver, CO

Frank traveled to our community to provide a group session. The class filled up and we have had wonderful success following the event. From our small group I know of at least 13 that have completely quit, and others have cut back significantly. Everyone involved was very satisfied.

Cardiac/Pulmonary Services Director Wray, CO

Frank, I took your seminar a month or two ago. In the past, I lost the battle with nicotine so many times but with your help/session now I don't even give it a second look. You have given me my life back, if you ever need a referral please send them my way.

The Mindful Nonsmoker

For those who prefer a one-time group experience and affordable access, I conduct Mindful Nonsmoker events — a live, three-hour interactive coaching session for smokers, vapers, chewers and NRT users who feel ready to stop now.

This program teaches mindfulness as a practical skill rather than a meditation practice. Nonjudgmental awareness can be used to reframe craving, to respond skillfully in trigger situations, and to maintain clarity of commitment. It follows the same evidence-based framework I use in private coaching — presented in a fast-paced, interactive format that gives you a clear and complete pathway to success.

My webinars and seminars are complete, stand-alone experiences that have helped thousands of smokers chewers, vapers and NRT users become and remain nicotine-free for life. Each participant also receives a downloadable handbook and guided audio resources including a 45 minute hypnotherapy audio for ongoing reinforcement. The webinar itself is a complete, stand-alone experience designed to enable readiness, willness, and confidence of your ability to succeed.

Free 30 Minute Phone Consultation

This is not a sales call. My goal is to help you gain useful clarity and optimized motivation about whatever you’re working on in thirty minutes or less. I treat every call as a short, pro-bono coaching project.

We'll identify the main obstacles holding you back, and I'll offer direct, practical solutions—drawn from positive psychology, wellness coaching, mindfulness, cognitive behavioral strategies, and even stoic philosophy. Most callers say they've gained a powerful new perspective on what they are doing, and at least one new tool they can use right away.

I'm also happy to answer any questions you may have about my process and my practice, but there's no obligation to become a client. I can also help you evaluate referrals if you're looking for a traditinal hypnotherapy approach.

"Pills, patches or products of any kind are completely unnecessary. The basic tools and methods I teach rely on simple, common sense mental skills possessed by nearly every person. It costs you nothing to apply such techniques in your own mind, your own life - in fact, most of these mental tools have been in common use by humans for over 2000 years. Once you learn to use them effectively, they are yours for life.” -- Frank Oden

I was a heavy tobacco and cannabis smoker for thirty years, I know the struggle from the inside out — the cravings, the failed attempts, the frustration of "trying everything." I speak smoker.

When I finally figured out how to quit easily at age fifty, everything changed. For the past twenty years I’ve dedicated myself to working with nicotine and THC users, teaching, learning, and continually refining the difference between what feels impossible and what can actually be easy

My background as a clinical hypnotherapist still shapes everything I do — not through formal hypnosis sessions, but through the language, stories, and thought experiments that form the heart of my coaching. The conversational methods I use come from the Ericksonian tradition of building deep rapport and guiding people toward their own insights and motivation.
