Dr. Katie Rickel
Mindset support that lasts
Dr. Katie Rickel, PhD
When you meet Dr. Katie Rickel, she quickly makes one thing clear: weight loss is more than a physical process, it’s an emotional journey too. Many GLP‑1 patients start treatment with high hopes, only to find that old habits, shifting relationships, or unexpected emotions surface along the way. Dr. Rickel is here to help you navigate those moments with insight, compassion, and practical tools.
A clinical psychologist with over two decades of experience in obesity treatment, Dr. Rickel has dedicated her career to helping people create sustainable change. At OrderlyMeds, she brings that expertise to every stage of the GLP‑1 journey—whether it’s supporting motivation in the early weeks or addressing mindset challenges at the 90‑day mark and beyond.
Her work includes leading interactive support groups, creating the 30/60/90 Day Mindset Milestone Workbook, and hosting discussions that help patients manage emotional eating, shifting motivation, and social pressures.
Dr. Rickel’s focus is always on helping patients feel understood and supported, so they can move forward with confidence.
Keep your expectations low. Not about your potential—but about how fast your life will change. So many people expect weight loss to unlock a fantasy: a new job, a new relationship, instant confidence. But your life will still be your life.
