Eating Disorders
Dr. Linda G. Ritchie, Ph.D.
Psychologist, Ph.D., LPC, LMFT, Certified Hypnotherapist
If you’re struggling with your relationship with food, you may feel caught in a cycle of restriction, overeating, or constant preoccupation with what you should or shouldn’t eat. You might feel out of control at times, then overly strict with yourself at others—followed by guilt, shame, or frustration. Even when you know what you “should” be doing, it can feel incredibly difficult to change these patterns.
I help clients understand and change the underlying patterns that drive disordered eating—both emotionally and behaviorally. Using Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), we identify the thought patterns that fuel guilt, control, and all-or-nothing thinking around food. With clinical hypnosis, Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT/tapping), and NLP, we work at a deeper level to shift the emotional triggers and automatic responses that keep you stuck in the cycle. I also incorporate Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help you step out of the struggle with food and reconnect with your values, self-worth, and a more balanced way of living.
What’s often missing isn’t knowledge—you likely already understand nutrition or what a “healthy” pattern looks like. What’s missing is a way to interrupt the emotional and automatic patterns that override that knowledge in the moment. Without that deeper shift, the cycle of control, loss of control, and self-criticism tends to repeat.
The fact that you’re here suggests you’re ready for something different. If you’re willing to approach this in a new way, I can help you develop a healthier, more stable relationship with food—one that feels more natural, less stressful, and aligned with how you want to live your life.

Eating Disorders
Catherine Cabrera
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC, LCPC, LMHC
For many high-achieving women, struggles with food and body image can become tied to perfectionism, control, and the pressure to always be “doing better.” What may start as trying to be healthy or disciplined can slowly turn into constant mental noise around food, guilt after eating, or rigid rules that are exhausting to maintain.
I work with women navigating eating disorders and disordered eating using Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT). Together, we explore the patterns that keep these cycles going while building practical tools to reduce shame, manage difficult emotions, and develop a more stable relationship with food and your body.
My approach is supportive, honest, and empowering—creating a space where you don’t have to hide the struggle and can begin moving toward balance rather than constant self-criticism.
