Psychologist specializing in food addictions?

Can anyone recommend a psychologist located in/around Little Rock that specializes in food addiction/eating disorders?  I'm one year out (this Wednesday) and have been very successful with the surgery,  BUT I have noticed that I've been doing more stress/anxiety related eating lately.  I'm thinking it wouldn't hurt to "nip this in the bud" and get some professional assistance in how to deal with it.  Thanks in advance for your help.

Oh yeah, I'm also going to start going back to support group meetings - that always seems to help too!

I think that I could benefit from a psychologist too, I have no recommendations but I will be watching this thread to see if anyone else knows one.
I have never been to a support meeting but I think that I need to start going too, I plan on trying to make it next month

You should definitely go to the support group meetings.  I always feel motivated and energized when I go.  It's cool to be with others that know exactly what I'm going through.

I go to the Rice Lewis clinic, and I LOVE Dr. Rice and my therapist Stephanie.  Dr. Rice is very supportive of my surgery.

Thanks for the recommendation!  I'll call today.  Do you know if they file insurance?

They file mine.  Dr Rice is sooooooo wonderful.  And I really enjoy talking to Stephanie.  I haven't done any therapy with her there in about a year and a half, but I'm going again for the first time in a long while on October 1st.  Having some body issues myself, and don't want to let them get ahold of me!

Good for you Casey!  I was doing pretty well handling the "mindless eating" but have recently had lots of work stress and my eating habits show it.  When I'm nervous/anxious, I find myself going to the pantry too often.  I will try to call Dr. Rice today or at the latest tomorrow.  Thanks again for the referral.  Good luck in your therapy.  Oh yeah.....where is Dr. Rice located?
