Drawing on extensive clinical experience working with a wide range of concerns—including anxiety, depression, trauma, personality dynamics, and life transitions across community mental health and private practice settings—I support clients in identifying patterns of self-criticism, perfectionism, and self-doubt that interfere with growth. Together, we develop greater self-awareness, confidence, and emotional resilience so clients can approach relationships, work, and personal goals with a stronger sense of identity and self-trust.

Amazing Grace Psychiatric Services, PLLC
Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner, PMHNP, CNM, PMH-C
Intrusive thoughts are unwelcomed in our brain as much as an intruder is unwelcomed in our home. These thoughts increase anxiety to the point where a compulsive behavior develops in attempt to alleviate the anxiety. This relief is short-lived, however, and the cycle starts all over again. This is exhausting for the individual, and often is very misunderstood by those around them. Let's put an end to this cycle by discovering the source of what's causing it, and find the right therapeutic solution for you!

Tracey Knows
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC
Living with OCD can feel exhausting, with intrusive thoughts, compulsions, and fear-driven behaviors taking over daily life. I help individuals learn how to embrace and accept their tendencies rather than fight against them, reducing the shame and anxiety that often accompany OCD. Through Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP), mindfulness, and cognitive techniques, I guide clients in disrupting irrational fears and thought spirals while building resilience against intrusive thoughts. My approach also focuses on calming the nervous system, reducing panic attacks, and fostering a greater sense of self-trust and emotional regulation.

Grace in the Shadows
Licensed Professional Counselor, PhD, MDiv, MA, NCMHC, ALMHC, VALMHC, SCMHC, FLMHC, KYMHC, IDMHC
I address Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) with a compassionate and holistic approach, integrating psychological techniques with Christian principles. Recognizing the challenges of OCD, I create a therapeutic environment rooted in faith, incorporating prayer, scriptural reflection, and discussions on trust in God's plan. Evidence-based therapies such as Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT) are utilized to help individuals manage obsessions and compulsions, while spiritual practices are integrated to support the healing process. I guide clients in finding spiritual meaning and coping mechanisms aligned with their faith. Encouraging individuals to surrender perfectionism and fears to God, I foster a balance between psychological strategies and reliance on faith to navigate the journey towards healing and recovery from OCD.

John Burkin
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC, LMHC, LPCC, LCPC, CPL, Registered Member MBACP
Obsessive-Compulsive and Related Disorders are an area I have specialized in for many years. I relate to the challenges clients face as many of the difficulties are ones I have faced myself over a lifetime. Symptoms from tics to intrusive, non-stop thoughts to compulsive acts are familiar. There are proven ways for us to quiet these challenges and I am ready to assist. Depending on the severity and disturbance you are experiencing I may recommend in concert with therapy you consider a psychiatric evaluation to consider whether a medical doctor determines if medication management is indicated as this would be outside my scope.

Dr. Linda G. Ritchie, Ph.D.
Psychologist, Ph.D., LPC, LMFT, Certified Hypnotherapist
If you’re struggling with OCD, you may feel trapped in a cycle of intrusive thoughts and repetitive behaviors that are difficult to control. You might recognize that the thoughts don’t make sense, yet still feel driven to check, repeat, or mentally review things to reduce anxiety. Over time, this can become exhausting, time-consuming, and frustrating—especially when it feels like the harder you try to stop, the stronger the urges become.
I help clients understand and change the patterns that keep OCD going. Using Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), we work to identify the thought patterns and behaviors that reinforce the cycle. I incorporate structured strategies to help you gradually reduce compulsions and tolerate uncertainty, while using clinical hypnosis, Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT/tapping), and NLP to address the underlying anxiety and automatic responses. I also integrate Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help you relate differently to intrusive thoughts—so they have less power over your behavior and your day-to-day life.
What’s often missing isn’t awareness—you likely already know the thoughts are irrational or excessive. What’s missing is a structured way to break the cycle of obsession and compulsion without increasing anxiety in the process. Without that, OCD tends to maintain itself, even when you’re highly motivated to change.
The fact that you’re here suggests you’re ready to approach this differently. If you’re willing to learn a new way of responding, I can help you reduce compulsions, manage intrusive thoughts more effectively, and regain a sense of control over your time, your mind, and your life.

Sarah Jacques
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSWC-C
OCD can feel overwhelming—endless intrusive thoughts, rituals, or “what if” cycles that leave you drained and stuck. I use evidence-based approaches, including Inference-Based CBT (I-CBT), to help you break free from these patterns and regain control of your life. In therapy, you’ll learn to respond differently to intrusive thoughts, reduce compulsions, and build resilience so anxiety doesn’t dictate your every move.
