Dr. Linda G. Ritchie, Ph.D.
Psychologist, Ph.D., LPC, LMFT, Certified Hypnotherapist
I provide professional, results-oriented counseling for individuals, couples, and families who are seeking meaningful, lasting change. My work is grounded in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and clinical hypnosis, and is enhanced by the integration of approaches such as Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT/tapping), Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP), and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT). This combination allows me to address both the conscious and unconscious patterns that influence how you think, feel, and respond—often producing more efficient and impactful results.
As a Marriage and Family Therapist, I also specialize in working with couples and families to improve communication, resolve conflict, and rebuild connection. My approach is structured, collaborative, and focused on helping you move forward with clarity, confidence, and a greater sense of control in your life and relationships.

Carrie Gauthier
Hypnotherapist, Certified Clinical Hypnotherapist, CCHt
Fear, anxiety, anger, shame, guilt, sadness; we are taught to repress these uncomfortable emotions and mask our pain. When these BIG emotions are shoved down for so long, they try to get our attention in various ways. We push back harder. They often manifest as maladaptive behaviors, habits, addictions, and even chronic physical and psychological conditions. We may overeat, overwork, over-promise, people-please, self-sabotage, be unable to focus, thrill-seek, put ourselves in danger, act out, procrastinate, deplete our own resources, and more. The majority of this type of unwanted behavior and thinking often can be traced back to some form of trauma, abuse, abandonment, or neglect. My hypnotherapy sessions help to process the emotions in a safe and loving way, and facilitate healing; so you feel safe in your own mind and comfortable in your own skin. We simultaneously work on reframing the debilitating thoughts and behaviors with healthy and supportive new ones that support your new goals. It is in this way we let go of the old stories and rewrite the future of our dreams.

Gerry Letendre
Hypnotherapist, RPh, MBA, CHt
My hypnosis practice offers a personalized, evidence-informed approach to issues such as anxiety, stress, confidence, habits, sleep, and performance. With over 50 years in healthcare and a background as a compounding pharmacist and MBA, I bring a deep understanding of how individualized solutions create lasting change. Just as I once customized medications, I now customize hypnosis sessions—no scripts, no one-size-fits-all methods. Clients seek out my practice for a drug-free alternative that addresses root causes, supports personal empowerment, and respects collaboration with existing medical or mental health care.

Jay Shaw
Hypnotherapist, CHt (Certified Hypnotherapist)
Most high performers don't have a strategy problem. They have an identity problem. The beliefs, triggers, and automatic responses running in the background are the real ceiling and talking about them only gets you so far. I'm Jay Shaw, a Certified Clinical Hypnotherapist and creator of Identity 2.0 Neural Reprogramming, based in Richardson, TX and serving the greater Dallas area and clients nationwide. My work targets the subconscious architecture driving your patterns and replaces it at the root. A systematic rebuild across 12 dimensions of identity tailored specifically to you. In-person and virtual options available. If you're done managing what you want eliminated, book a strategy call at hypnosisdallastx.com.
