Obesity
Dr. Linda G. Ritchie, Ph.D.
Psychologist, Ph.D., LPC, LMFT, Certified Hypnotherapist
If you’re struggling with weight, you may feel frustrated by the cycle of starting strong and then slipping back into old habits. You might know what to eat and what to do, yet still find yourself dealing with cravings, emotional eating, or a lack of consistency. Over time, this can lead to discouragement, self-criticism, and the sense that nothing really works long-term.
I help clients change the patterns that drive weight gain—not just the behaviors on the surface. Using Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), we identify and shift the thought patterns that lead to overeating, all-or-nothing thinking, and loss of momentum. With clinical hypnosis, Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT/tapping), and NLP, we work at a deeper level to reduce cravings, strengthen self-control, and reshape your relationship with food. I also incorporate Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help you stay committed to your goals and make choices that align with the life and health you want, even when it’s not easy in the moment.
What’s often missing isn’t knowledge—you likely already understand nutrition, diets, and what “should” work. What’s missing is a way to interrupt the automatic patterns—emotional triggers, habits, and internal dialogue—that override that knowledge. Without that deeper shift, the cycle tends to repeat, regardless of the plan you’re following.
The fact that you’re here suggests you’re ready for a different approach. If you’re willing to focus on changing the underlying patterns—not just the plan—I can help you develop consistency, reduce cravings, and create sustainable progress toward a healthier weight and a more balanced relationship with food.

Obesity
Tara Murphy
Psychologist, Psy.D.
I do not use the word “obese,” as it is rooted in stigma and can be deeply offensive. Instead, I recognize that bodies naturally come in a wide range of shapes and sizes—from small to large—and that much of the suffering people experience is caused by cultural shame and fat phobia, not by body size itself. My work draws on IFS, Health at Every Size (HAES), Attuned Eating, Body Trust, mindfulness, and narrative therapy to help clients reduce shame, build body trust, and develop a more compassionate relationship with themselves. I provide diagnostic clarity when concerns about body size intersect with mood or eating disorders.
