I don't personally know of any; however, if you look up the Wellness Institute--which is dedicated to hypnotherapy--they may have info for you or know where to direct you. They are located in Washington state, USA. Good luck!

the studies related to the efectiveness between CBT and hypnotherapy currently concludes that the efectiveness of hypnotherapy only appears if is combinated with CBT (in smoking cessation or depressive mood or anxiety disorders.
I have to disagree strongly here. Articles I have read -- I would have to look them up -- conclude no such thing, instead stating that hypnotherapy is more effective than CBT. And in my daily practice I do a lot of smoking cessation and some anxiety work, with no CBT whatsoever, and it is very effective.
There are a lack of efficacy when compare the Hypnotherapy effect in the smoking cessation and the CBT effect in ther same disorder.

I didn't read that study, I don't know how they came to those results. Maybe, as often is the case in clinical studies, the tested interpretation of "hypnotherapy" is reading a one-size-fits-all prepared script to the hypnotee. Obviously that doesn't work and no hypnotherapist worth his salt will do that. Hypnotherapy, as I stipulated, when done by a proper, trained, experienced hypnotherapist, is extremely effective for smoking cessation.
