Natalie Campbell
Psychologist, PsyD; LLC
I have maintained a 50-pound weight loss for 35 years. Emotional eating, stress, loss, grief...all of these impact our self-perception and confidence. If you need to explore further and/or need a food coach, I would be honored to help.

Weight Loss
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.

Weight Loss
Carrie Gauthier
Hypnotherapist, Certified Clinical Hypnotherapist, CCHt
My weight loss hypnosis is safe, effective and natural. We do a thorough intake and together set goals that are going to work for you because they resonate with you. We program in hypnotic commands that work to help you get hungry less often, feel fuller faster and longer, to crave healthy foods and to move your body more; and when you do move your body, to exercise in ways that are pleasant for you. If the weight issue is deep enough we may need to examine and clear associated beliefs and emotions through a hypnotic regression. I give you coping tools that will help you eliminate cravings and regain composure if you feel yourself spiraling. I also train you in breathwork that can change your chemical makeup from an undesirable state like fear or dread to an elevated state of peace and hope.

Weight Loss
Dr. Selma Stainback
Psychologist, PsyD
I want to help people get to the weight they want, whether they want to look like they never have, look like they did years ago or lose the last 10 pounds. I want clients to see it can be less of a struggle to get there if they change their approach to focus on health and energy. They can get better results than they ever expected!
