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.

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 Mindful Nonsmoker is Frank Oden's coaching-based method for achieving nicotine or cannabis freedom — without pills, patches, or willpower. The hardest part of quitting isn't the chemistry of nicotine or THC. It's the relationship a smoker has built with smoking thoughts and triggers over years or decades — the rituals, the associations, the stories. Unplug all that, and the rest falls into place faster than most people expect.

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-based relapse prevention, motivational neuro-linguistics and applied auto-suggestion to support genuine, sustainable change.

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

The Mindful Nonsmoker

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 provided 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.

The Mindful Nonsmoker

Click For Upcoming Events

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, willingness, and confidence of your ability to succeed.

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 traditional hypnotherapy approach.
