Daphne Stevens

“My name is Daphne Stevens, Ph.D., LCSW, and I have been practicing psychotherapy in the central Georgia area for thirty years. My approach is rooted in Jungian-based archetypal therapy and dream work, but I am also well-trained in family systems, cognitive behavioral therapy, and mind/body therapy. My practice uniquely incorporates cutting-edge approaches such as Energy Psychology and EMDR.

I began my journey as a hypnotherapist in 1980 when I discovered the effectiveness of hypnosis in promoting wellness and relieving stress, anxiety, and chronic pain. Extending my practice to include smoking cessation was a natural progression, as hypnosis plays a significant role in developing a healthy lifestyle.

I often tell my clients that hypnosis isn’t magic—it’s a way of harnessing the body-mind’s natural drive toward greater health, stamina, and the ability to enjoy life. As Baby Boomers age, we are increasingly aware of the benefits of healthy eating, exercise, and freedom from toxic substances. Nicotine and tar in cigarettes are among the most toxic substances in the world, and helping people overcome their addiction to smoking is particularly satisfying to me.

In my experience, patients often discover an innate capacity for well-being that ripples out into all areas of life. It’s a myth that smoking cessation is difficult or even impossible. Embedded in our psyches are numerous pathways toward empowerment, and hypnosis is a powerful way to access those strengths. Becoming a non-smoker isn’t just a wise health choice—it’s a major milestone in experiencing personal power.”
