Dr. Linda G. Ritchie, Ph.D.
Psychologist, Ph.D., LPC, LMFT, Certified Hypnotherapist
If you’ve struggled to lose weight—or to keep it off—you may feel frustrated by the cycle of starting strong and then losing momentum. You might do well for a period of time, only to find old habits returning, especially under stress or when life gets busy. Even with the best intentions, it can feel difficult to stay consistent and make lasting changes.
I help clients approach weight loss in a way that is structured, sustainable, and aligned with how real change actually happens. Using Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), we identify and shift the thought patterns that lead to inconsistency, self-sabotage, or all-or-nothing thinking. With clinical hypnosis, Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT/tapping), and NLP, we work at a deeper level to reduce cravings, strengthen motivation, and support healthier habits becoming more automatic. I also incorporate Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help you stay committed to your goals and take consistent action—even when motivation fluctuates.
What’s often missing isn’t effort—you’re capable of making changes and may have done so before. What’s missing is a way to maintain those changes over time by addressing the internal patterns that pull you back into old behaviors. Without that, weight loss tends to feel temporary rather than lasting.
The fact that you’re here suggests you’re ready for a different result. If you’re willing to approach this in a more effective way, I can help you build consistency, reduce setbacks, and create sustainable progress toward a healthier weight and a more confident, balanced way of living.

Aria Fraser
Hypnotherapist, Certified Rapid Transformational Therapist
Rapid Transformational Therapy is very effective at helping people with weight loss, because it approaches it from the angle that is most needed by the client. Whether that might be installing the desire for motivation to exercise, or stopping a habit of over-eating/ emotional eating, hypnotherapy is a helpful modality at finding the root cause. By looking at experiences from your past, negative beliefs are identified, specifically any that formed around weight, or a negative view of oneself. These beliefs are reframed and released in a compassionate way. New and beneficial messages are then made to the subconscious mind to help you create the changes that are needed to assist with weight reduction. A few check-ins and ongoing support will be available after the session(s).
