Meet Dr. Don Morris
Are you looking for an experienced hypnotherapist for smoking cessation in Riverside, California?
Dr. Don Morris is a trained clinical hypnotherapist and the founder of The Morris Institute of Hypnotherapy. He established the institute in Riverside in 1986 and has spent approximately four decades helping clients pursue behavioral and personal change.
Don holds undergraduate and master’s degrees from Emporia State University and a Doctorate in Clinical Hypnotherapy from the American Institute of Hypnotherapy. He reports being registered and certified by the American Board of Hypnotherapy and is a member of the National League of Medical Hypnotherapists.
An Experienced Smoking-Cessation Specialist
Don understands smoking from both professional and personal perspectives. Before becoming a non-smoker, he smoked for 17 years. That experience helped him understand the routines, triggers, emotional associations, and internal conflicts that can make quitting feel difficult.
His smoking-cessation program uses hypnosis and behavioral-change strategies to help clients:
- Strengthen their motivation to quit
- Identify personal smoking triggers
- Change subconscious associations with cigarettes
- Develop healthier responses to stress
- Prepare for cravings and high-risk situations
- Reinforce a confident, smoke-free identity
- Create a practical plan for preventing relapse
Hypnosis can be a valuable component of a smoking-cessation plan, especially for clients who want help changing the behavioral and emotional patterns connected to smoking. Results vary, and no practitioner can guarantee that quitting will be immediate, effortless, or permanent.
Decades of Smoking-Cessation Experience
Don reports that, as of February 6, 2026, he had helped 7,958 people quit smoking during approximately 30 years of smoking-specific work.
Because this number comes from Don’s internal practice records, it should be presented as a self-reported figure unless the recordkeeping method and outcome criteria are independently reviewed.
A more durable public statement would be:
Don Morris reports helping thousands of clients pursue freedom from smoking through hypnosis and behavioral-change support.

I need help dealing with los self-steam
Hey Don,
I just had my first hypnotherapy session here in New Orleans. I remember you telling me about past-life experiences of some of your clients; but I did not encounter that in my session. Not sure what that’s about.
Perhaps you could offer some insight: was she a good hypnotherapist? Her name is Summer Mead.
Thanks.
