OCD
Amanda S. Vaught
Psychologist, PsyD
I work collaboratively with clients to understand how obsessive thoughts and compulsive behaviors affect their lives. Using evidence-based approaches such as Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP), we identify unhelpful patterns and practice new ways of responding to anxiety and uncertainty. Together, we build skills to reduce compulsions, manage intrusive thoughts, and regain a sense of control. My goal is to help clients find relief, confidence, and freedom from OCD’s grip.

OCD
Joe Groninga
Psychologist, PsyD, LP
Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) can be a very debilitating set of symptoms and is something for which I use a therapy called Exposure and Response Prevention (ExRP or ERP). This therapy is widely considered to be the most effective treatment for OCD available. I will teach you how to approach situations that create obsessive thinking and emotional distress and how to simultaneously resist acting on urges to engage in your compulsive behavior. The result is the ability to be in these situations with significantly less distress and without overwhelming compulsive urges. People with OCD are typically amazed at what they can achieve through this therapy.

OCD
Alexander Tice
Psychologist, PsyD
Dr. Tice specializes in the treatment of OCD, utilizing the "gold standard" treatment for OCD: Exposure and Response Prevention (E/RP). ERP is a highly effective intervention for OCD, and involves learning concrete skills for managing obsessive, intrusive thoughts and the corresponding distressing emotions. OCD manifests uniquely in each person, and Dr. Tice works with each client to identify their specific OCD experience, as well as the individualized treatment plan for them. ERP helps each person face their fears, and learn to be able to tolerate uncertainty and discomfort. Reach out if you have any questions about how ERP could be right for you!

OCD
Dr. Stephanie Vaughn
Psychologist, Psy.D., DBT-LBC™
Exposure and Response Prevention (EX/RP) is the way to go, here. Did you know that there is such as thing as "Pure obsessive" or "Pure O" OCD? Not all OCD involves behavioral compulsions such as counting or hand washing. Some of it is mental compulsions only! Unless you're a true expert, diagnosing OCD can be extremely difficult. Misdiagnoses can be dangerous and costly.
16 Years Experience
Online in Louisville, KY
Louisville's therapy community is shaped by the city's dual identity as a major healthcare hub — anchored by the University of Louisville Health system, Norton Healthcare, and Baptist Health — and a culturally rich city with deep roots in bourbon, thoroughbred racing, and Southern Midwestern community values. The Muhammad Ali Center and the city's civil rights heritage sustain meaningful conversations about racial identity, community resilience, and systemic inequity in clinical work. The University of Louisville's department of psychological and brain sciences provides important training resources for the local therapy community. Louisville's positioning at the intersection of Appalachian influence, Southern tradition, and Midwestern pragmatism shapes a therapy culture where direct, accessible, and often spiritually informed approaches find the broadest acceptance.
