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.

At Insights & Inspiration, LLC, I approach weight loss from a mindset and lifestyle perspective rather than short term dieting. I help clients explore emotional eating, self regulation, stress patterns, and thinking habits that influence long term health behaviors. Using cognitive behavioral strategies and practical tools, we focus on sustainable lifestyle change that supports both physical and emotional well being. Counseling is offered in person in Roanoke, Virginia, and virtually across Virginia.

Jennifer A Kodrik, PsyD
Psychologist, PsyD
Most weight loss advice ignores the emotional and behavioral patterns that make lasting change so hard. I help clients understand their relationship with food and their body, and build habits that actually hold up under real-life stress.
