Taylor Newendorp

Taylor Newendorp

Network Clinical Training Director

I started as a therapist over 14 years ago, working in different mental health environments. Many people with OCD that weren't being treated for it crossed my path and weren't getting better. I decided that I wanted to help people with OCD, so I became an OCD therapist, and eventually, a clinical supervisor. I treated people using Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) and saw people get better day in and day out. I continue to use ERP because nothing is more effective in treating OCD.

Licensed Therapist, MS

As a therapist, first and foremost, I believe in meeting you where you're at. I can have a plan, but that means nothing without understanding where you are. That will help us navigate where to go and how to prioritize. A fun fact about me: I have a dog named Emma. She's a Scoodle (Scottie and poodle mix). Chances are you'll hear her at some point, because she's usually under my desk. I'm kind of her emotional support human.

I take an integrative approach to treating OCD. I like to get to know people through conversation. I'm a doctor of psychology, so members will learn quite a bit of information regarding their mental well-being during our interactions. As a therapist, I understand the importance of self-care. When I'm not working, I like to take long walks, play the piano, sing, and converse with others.

Licensed Therapist, MA

I would describe myself as a kind-hearted drill sergeant. I bring compassion, understanding, and support to the therapy room, but I am also firm and direct. You can expect loads of sarcasm and humor. If we can laugh at OCD, it loses much of its power. After years of training and experience, I realized I had experienced obsessive compulsive tendencies since I was a child. These experiences help me understand where members are coming from, and work with them to develop a creative treatment plan that gets the results they want.

Licensed Therapist, LMFT

My approach to treating OCD is first to build a connection. OCD has been controlling you to trust intrusive thoughts and give in to certain compulsions. In treatment, I'll ask you to trust me and the work we'll be doing with exposure response prevention (ERP). Building a positive rapport and ensuring you feel safe is key. I'll always meet you where you are and help you see your strength and power as you take control of OCD. Some fun facts about me: In 2023, I moved to the mountains of North Carolina. I enjoy nature, sports, live music, playing with my dog, and cooking. I'm always researching new things to cook or prepare with my smoker. If I weren't a therapist, I might've been inclined to open a small restaurant.

I became motivated to go deeper into learning how to treat OCD. During sessions, you’ll be asked to share your OCD experiences in confidence, but I know how hard it is to explain to someone what your OCD is like. I’ll create a non-judgemental space so you can disclose everything that’s affecting you, Members describe me as warm, direct, and honest. I call myself “solution-focused,” but when there’s an opportunity to have a little fun during a session, I’ll take it. I like to stay in touch with current research and only use treatment proven to work. Together, we’ll bring you to a place of better control and a lot more freedom.

Licensed Therapist, Ph.D.

As a therapist, I try to create a welcoming, warm environment. When I first meet with someone, I like to start off by finding out what they want to get out of therapy. I'll craft a treatment plan with you based on that, realizing that other concerns can arise on a week-to-week basis. Outside of work, I'm a big fan of rock and metal music and love going to concerts. I also have three sugar gliders that I've had for about seven years. They are miniature flying squirrels, basically. So during our sessions, if there's ever any weird chirping that comes through a wall in the background, that's probably what you're hearing.

I have a pretty flexible approach to therapy. (There will be a steady flow of smiley faces in your messaging inbox that you are not obligated to respond to.) My focus allows a completely unique experience for every member. I tend to get along well with members who are very particular about details, because I care about the mapping of your OCD being accurate to your experience. The only thing more important is that you feel like you have agency throughout the entire therapy process. Outside of work, I enjoy nail art, live music, learning new things, and a totally normal and appropriate amount of video gaming.

Amy Seager

Licensed Therapist, LISW-S

I look at a person with OCD as separate from their symptoms. OCD is not who you are. In fact, OCD is preventing you from being your true self. My approach is acceptance of the person first, then tackling the OCD with a nonjudgmental, caring stance. When I'm not doing therapy, I love birdwatching, gardening, knitting, crocheting, and reading anything I can get my hands on. Fun fact: You may see me wearing fingerless gloves during sessions—not as a fashion statement, but because I have Raynaud's Syndrome, which causes my digits to overreact to even slight chills and become painful. Although I usually try to match my gloves to my outfit, sometimes I have to grab whichever pair is available, so you may see some strange color combinations!

Andrew Latoszewski

Licensed Therapist, MSW

My approach to treating OCD is by utilizing the evidence-based practice of exposure and response prevention. We start slowly by introducing you to small situations or thoughts that trigger compulsions and actions, then carefully build up to more difficult exposures as we progress. While challenging, this will lead to greater control over your OCD, and greater control of your life in general. Aside from being a clinician, I very much enjoy music. One of my favorite hobbies involves converting popular songs into acoustic guitar performances. I am also a big movie and television buff. Dramas and thrillers are my favorite genres.

When I'm not doing therapy, I like to enjoy the warmer months outdoors doing activities like kayaking, cycling or hiking. Recently I have gotten into birdwatching.

Outside of work, I'm an avid runner (I've lost count of how many marathons I have completed!), reader (especially horror, sci-fi, and fantasy novels), and traveler (both within California and to other regions when I can.)

I think it is important to have broader goals for therapy, as well as the goal of reducing OCD symptoms. I want to know how your life would be better if your OCD was under control. What would it free you up to do or to be if you were not spending time on compulsions?

We'll be working together to address barriers, experiences, and goals for improving your quality of life. In my free time, I enjoy eating at my favorite restaurants, cooking, taking my dog out to play at the park, and going to amusement parks. Being outside and enjoying the scenery (with amazing food) is something that brings comfort and serenity. Fun fact: I make it a goal to kayak or jet-ski at least once a year.

Treatment begins with getting to know each other, so you can be able to take risks from the safety of the therapeutic setting. I'm on your team as you face your fears and anxieties—both inside and outside therapy. When I'm not at work, I enjoy spending time outdoors, especially running and walking—they're great ways to explore my surroundings, both near home and when I'm traveling.

The fact that I have experienced some of the effects of OCD makes me sympathetic to those who are suffering from it. We all have so many different experiences, but at the heart is a longing to belong, to fit in, and to enjoy our lives with those we love. Remembering that is key for me in treating people with and without OCD. When I'm not doing therapy, I love to read—anywhere, anyplace.

Licensed Therapist, MSW

I am very well trained in ERP, which is the evidence-based practice for OCD. My approach is to get a good assessment of how thoughts are not compatible with people’s values and beliefs. I will ask questions about how these thoughts feel, manifest themselves, and create rituals that are designed to neutralize these disturbing thoughts. Then I help people create their own understanding of how to begin to eliminate or significantly reduce the time spent on the thoughts and the intensity of the feeling evoked by them, and get their lives back. In my free time outside of work, I enjoy boat rides with friends, camping, hiking, crafting, quilting, crocheting, and thrifting.

I like to get a good understanding of how your OCD developed and what obsessions and compulsions have developed as a result. We'll go through this in-depth, and then you'll be asked to challenge yourself. It will be uncomfortable, and you'll feel pushed to confront your thoughts and behaviors, but this is how you recover. Outside of work, I love to spend time with my family and dogs Waffles and Pepper. We like to go for walks, swim, cook delicious meals, and watch documentaries.

Matthew Culbreath

Licensed Therapist, M.Ed

As an OCD therapist, my approach is like that of a person-centered personal trainer. First and foremost, you'll be unconditionally accepted, appreciated, and respected. I’m guessing that OCD has told you that you’re no good, unworthy of acceptance, and should be deeply ashamed. These are lies, and I aim to help you see through them. We will meet, collaborate to decide on a target, and develop exercises to build “strength” or resilience to anxiety-evoking thoughts. You will feel in charge of your recovery; we “add more weight to the bar” only when you’re ready. Outside of work, I look forward to growing vegetables in the warm weather seasons. I have pet Shih-Tzu that strongly resembles an Ewok (from Return of the Jedi). She is full of various hijinks but really likes to steal red bell peppers from my garden.

When I say it's member-led, I mean that you will have the agency to give consent for the exercises we undertake, and it's your willingness and eagerness that will propel us toward a better, healthier, and more manageable place compared to when OCD was left untreated. Your active participation and choice in this journey are paramount.

I will help you identify your obsessions, whether they're thoughts, images, or urges. This might be the first place you are able to identify those thoughts and say them aloud. There is no judgment.

I will never ask you to do something that I wouldn't do myself. Outside of work, I'm kind of a homebody.

I've found that the greatest measure of success is the ability to be comfortable with being uncomfortable. Becoming a therapist at NOCD has forced me to get out of my comfort zone and grow professionally. Outside of work, I love being in the natural environment, whether it’s gardening or hiking. I enjoy painting, pottery, and all things handmade. I find the creative process very therapeutic.

In treating OCD, I am patient and kind while being effective at setting boundaries and keeping an individual accountable. I will do my very best to always give 100% focus and energy during every session. Outside of work, for self-care, I enjoy crocheting. I spend my time taking care of my 10-year-old dog, Franklin. I crochet him custom sweaters. You can often find us living our best lives on the couch singing karaoke.

I approach treating OCD the way I approach any kind of treatment: collaboratively. This work is a team effort, and as such, it’s crucial that anyone working with me feels they have full autonomy and control over how they'll meet their goals. Together, we will develop a treatment plan, goals for therapy, and homework, as well as deciding what to work on in each and every session. Outside of work, I’m a music head and a tennis enthusiast (though I'm very far from a master). I’m also a playwright and a singer-songwriter. Since the pandemic began, baking has become my meditation.

My first goal is to help you feel comfortable opening up about your concerns. We will then work together to come up with the best treatment plan to address them. Facing the fears beneath your OCD is a challenging process, but I will be here to offer encouragement and support throughout your journey.

My approach to treating OCD includes providing a gentle, accepting atmosphere for our sessions. I often utilized acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), which couples well with ERP, to support members in living a more meaningful and full life. Every day, I get to witness the resiliency of the human spirit and individuals' capacity for change. It's an honor to be able to work alongside others and witness their growth. When I’m not in my office, I love trail running, training for races, and spending time in the mountains. I also enjoy baking desserts, being with my pets, and listening to music.

Registered Clinical Social Worker Intern

I focus on helping my members learn to be OK with uncertainty. We can't be certain about most things in this life, and OCD often grabs onto the need for certainty. Through exposure response prevention, I'll work with you to understand your core fears and how to conquer them. I'll teach you to have a different relationship with your intrusive thoughts, so they no longer take over your life. Outside of work, I enjoy spending time with family and friends. I'd describe myself as a people person who loves to be around individuals who uplift each other. I also love to travel and see as much of the world as I can. A fun fact about me: I have a twin sister who is also a therapist.

Licensed Therapist, MED

I have a warm, collaborative therapy style and bring that to every member I work with. As members with OCD learn to face the things they fear through ERP, I am there to support them and help them recognize their own strength and resilience. I seek to embrace people’s whole selves, recognizing that different aspects of their identities and lives impact the specific challenges that they are entering therapy to address. I work with people, not just a diagnosis. When I'm not at work, I am happiest outside, whether biking through city parks, hiking in the mountains, swimming at the beach, or just relaxing in a sunny spot. I also enjoy reading novels, sketching, and learning to play the piano (the last one is definitely a work in progress!).

Augusto Barbaran

Licensed Therapist, MS

OCD is a difficult disorder and is not understood well by people who don't have experience with it. There is still stigma and shame surrounding it. I want my members to know that this is a safe and judgment-free space. OCD is not rational—it doesn't make sense. I'm here to support and teach, to encourage risk-taking, and to support members in pushing through the discomfort while practicing ERP. Outside of work, I love to travel, go hiking, biking, kayaking, and paddle boarding, or go to the beach. I also love to have board game nights with friends and play video games, and card games. I'm trying to get into Magic: The Gathering card game. But my favorite thing to do is be with my family, my wife, and my daughter.

I believe creating a safe place is the starting place of treatment. I care about who you are as a person as much as why you are here for therapy. You are more than your diagnosis.

When I'm not working, I love spending time with my family. My son and daughter both keep me on my toes with their incredible sense of humor, love of music, and playful spirits.

I believe one of the most important functions of a therapist is to create a connection in session, so you feel like you can open up and just be yourself. My approach is warm and down to earth. I will work diligently to understand your unique story and lived experience. This is a two-way street; therapy works best when there is an open line of communication. I have training and expertise, but you know best what works and what doesn’t. Outside of work, I love going to live music events, my favorite museums in NYC like the Whitney, and watching movies ranging from classic cinema to horror.

My approach to treating OCD is person-centered and evidence-based. I take time to learn about each of my members as the unique individuals they are. I develop an understanding of how one’s biological, social, and psychological circumstances impact their current symptoms and experiences. Once the proper foundation has been established, members and I work collaboratively, using ERP techniques to help them achieve their personal goals. Outside of work, I enjoy cooking, outdoor activities, painting, traveling, and spending quality time with family and friends. I adore animals, with a particular fondness for dogs and cats. I'm also an avid reader of mystery novels. Feel free to ask me about my current reads and share any recommendations!

My approach to treating OCD aims to isolate your specific doubts/fears, then use doubt to fight doubt. OCD wants to be the center of your life by injecting doubt and fear into any facet of life it can. My approach helps you disarm doubt and fear through self-exploration, curiosity, and courageous exposure. Outside of work, I dance: ballet/pointe, jazz, contemporary, hip hop. Before working in mental health, I was a professional TV/film makeup artist. I’ve combined my love of makeup and therapy and created my own modality: “makeup therapy” incorporates talk therapy, art therapy, and personalized makeup education. It is the ultimate combination of my two passions.

The most important aspect of any therapy is the therapeutic relationship. My approach will always start with establishing a trusting foundation. We will be in this together.

Outside of my work as a therapist, I enjoy spending time with my teenage son and our four dogs. I also love to read, watch movies and TV, go for walks, and meditate.

I'll work with you to break down obsessions and intrusive thoughts into their separate parts, such as thoughts, physical feelings, and actions. After validating your hardships and commending you on your bravery to make a change, I'll have you identify and rank situations that may elicit the desire to act on your compulsions. We'll work on sitting with the discomfort of these situations until the need to engage in compulsions is reduced and your anxiety is no longer overwhelming. Outside of work, I've always been a pretty dedicated foodie and have traveled to several cities to try new food. A consistent favorite of mine is Latin cuisine.

Austin Daron

Austin Daron

Licensed Therapist, MA

I treat OCD with Exposure and Response Prevention therapy (ERP). This approach involves gradually exposing members to feared or triggering situations or thoughts while refraining from the compulsive behaviors they usually perform to reduce anxiety. The goal is to help members confront their fears and learn that anxiety naturally decreases over time without engaging in compulsions. This process helps break the cycle of obsession and compulsion, ultimately reducing the overall impact of OCD on their lives. A fun fact about me: I love playing Dungeons and Dragons with friends. Beyond that, I love all things entertainment, including movies, TV shows, and video games. I'm a proud parent to two medium-haired black cats that my partner and I rescued when they were just four weeks old.

I use a person-centered, personal approach to OCD therapy. First, we recognize it as a problem on its own, not something that defines you as a person. Together, we'll identify what it looks like in your day-to-day life, what kinds of triggers exist, and how to tackle those triggers utilizing ERP therapy. Outside of work, I enjoy spending time in nature. I love to go camping, take long hikes, and spend the entire day at the beach. I've been vegan since 2017 and absolutely love the challenge of recreating my favorite dishes into vegan versions. Whether it's cooking or baking, you can count me in.

Licensed Therapist, MA

I love NOCD's treatment model. It gives you the ability to start treatment with increased frequency, which can make it intense. However, this is the best time to be focused and motivated and create the change you desire for yourself. As you learn how to tolerate discomfort, lean into those feelings, and make strides toward improvement, an "a-ha" moment occurs. You realize you are not your OCD—you are not your thoughts, and you can tolerate them. Some facts about me: My Christian faith is very important to me. I love working with people from all around the world; the diversity is such a joy to experience. I am bilingual and speak fluent Dutch and English. I was raised in the Netherlands (as a Dutch Navy brat) and have lived in the U.S. and the Netherlands for half my life. I am a cat lover to the core, and I appreciate sarcastic humor.

My approach to treating OCD is empathetic and challenging. Remaining in the bubble you've created to appease OCD symptoms won't result in any changes. We can work together to tackle these obstacles, which at times may be uncomfortable and distressing. I strive to be trauma-informed in all my therapeutic endeavors. This means coming from a place of compassion and empathy while creating a roadmap together for recovery, so we know what's next. Outside of work, I have a puppy that's about 18 months old. She's a Cane Corso/pitbull mix and full of energy. We frequent parks, go for long walks, and explore new aspects of the city.

Here at NOCD, we use an approach called Exposure and Response Prevention, or ERP. It's a remarkable treatment modality and is considered the gold standard for OCD treatment. We will take a collaborative approach to therapy. Together, we will create a hierarchy of fears and work our way through it. Eventually, we'll get to the top, where we'll combat some of your greatest challenges with OCD. There is no timeline for this, and I'll be with you throughout the whole process. Outside of work, I enjoy spending time with my family. I have a one-year-old daughter, so we're always on the go and trying new things. We love doing outdoorsy activities such as going for hikes, swimming, and walking my two pit bulls. I’m also a fan of reality TV, and I make sure never to miss a Philadelphia Eagles game!

My approach to treating OCD is utilizing exposure response prevention (ERP), which guides individuals in confronting their feared stimuli while eliminating the use of their safety behaviors/compulsions. By doing this, we aim to reduce your fear and anxiety and improve self-efficacy and tolerance of distress. A fun fact about me: I want to be a stand-up comedian. I've always relied heavily on humor, and I'm a big advocate of using humor in counseling. Therapy doesn’t have to be sad, heavy, or dreadful. Humor can really help get you through the tough moments in treatment. I look forward to laughing with you and helping you conquer your goals.

Limited Permit Mental Health Counselor

As a therapist, I like to be a curious observer, right along with you, in approaching and understanding how OCD shows up for you. Although ERP sessions are quite structured compared to typical talk therapy sessions, the work will be tailored to your experience. Like many other NOCD therapists, my approach is creative, collaborative, and person-centered. Outside of work, I like drawing, painting, rearranging my apartment, indoor rock climbing, and staring blankly at my guitar trying to understand how chords work. Recently I’ve been trying to challenge myself to try things that are new to me. I like telling myself that if I’m scared, to do it scared, and that usually helps me keep at it!

OCD can be incredibly isolating. Intrusive thoughts and compulsive behaviors often make us feel separate from others. My primary goal, apart from helping individuals learn to manage their symptoms, is to normalize the experience. Knowing there's an answer is incredibly comforting. Outside of work, I love foxes and dogs. In training my four pups, I've learned more about myself and the meaning of patience, love, and kindness than I ever thought possible. My favorite color is orange, and I love horror movies and novels. I also really like to run.

As a therapist, my role is to walk alongside you on your OCD journey. The work is collaborative; together we decide how to gradually help you learn to tolerate your distress, instead of avoiding it. You will have a say in the work we do and will be given the opportunity to consent or not to any type of exposure exercises. I'm originally from Colombia, South America, and I am proud to be Hispanic. I moved to the United States when I was 8 years old and faced many challenges being an immigrant and not knowing the English language.

One of my favorite parts of OCD therapy is providing education and normalizing the OCD experience for people, who often have carried shame, believing something is wrong with them because of their intrusive thoughts.

A few fun facts about me: I was born and raised in Minnesota and moved to California about five years ago. I have a cat named Liam, who likely will be an honorary third member of your treatment team.

Licensed Therapist, MA

My approach to treating OCD is accepting you where you are, by taking a non-judgmental stance. The next step is to help you identify your triggers and fears, then your values. That way, we can pinpoint what we want to change and what is preferred. I'll gradually introduce you to incremental exposures of feared events, beliefs, or experiences, then help you identify what to do other than the compulsion or how to sit in the discomfort, incrementally increasing the levels of exposure. Outside of work, as a mom of five and grandmother to three, I most often spend my spare time with my children and grandbabies. In the summer, you'll find me sitting outside reading books in the sun, and in the fall, you'll find me wrapped up by the fireplace watching football. I am a passionate fan of sports, love to learn, and have a passion for shopping as well.

Licensed Therapist, MS

My approach to treating OCD is based on behavioral principles and individualizing treatment so it's specific to your experiences. To do this, I'll help you research the internal and external antecedents to your obsessions. Next, I'll ask you to rate the intensity of emotions in different situations. I'll help you learn about the function of your behavior, which includes actions as well as thoughts. After I provide psychoeducation about ERP, we'll start with the least threatening anxiety-provoking situation. I'll ask you to conduct certain ERP behavioral experiments on your own, and we'll review the findings together in our next session. Through these experiences, you'll learn to tolerate uncomfortable thoughts, feelings, and situations in a supportive environment. When I'm not doing therapy, I enjoy listening to live music, dancing, drawing, and painting.

Treating OCD is a challenging task. You’re dealing with intrusive thoughts, compulsions, or intense fears. It’s really hard to admit that this is what you’re experiencing, and that’s OK. Treating OCD is like a ladder. We’ll take each session together and learn how to manage your tolerance. We'll start small and gradually make our way up to more intense feelings. We’re going to work together to be able to build your skills each week in order to give you the best possible outcome and learn to handle whatever you’re struggling with. I’m very passionate and excited that we’re going to go through this journey together a step at a time. Outside of work, I enjoy reading, spending time with family and friends, cooking, and traveling, especially anywhere with water.

With support, understanding, and even humor, I teach people to understand the dynamics of OCD. Together, we develop a plan for therapy to support the process of recognizing and reframing troubling thoughts and changing problem behaviors. Outside of work, I adore my adult daughters and love spending time with them. I love messy things like swimming with my dogs, doing yard work, refinishing furniture, and home decorating. Road trips to anywhere are awesome, especially when I’m traveling alone. Sometimes I enter poetry contests, and I just love being in natural surroundings.

My approach combines cognitive-behavioral, humanistic, psychodynamic and rational-emotive therapy. I will tailor our dialogue and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs. Outside of therapy, I have two male spotted goats named Doomsday and Apocalypse. I got them about 8 months ago. At the time, I never dreamed how wonderfully fascinating these creatures can be. I've also never laughed so long and hard at anything in all my 64 years.

My approach to treating OCD is a team effort. It's an ongoing collaboration between you and me to identify your intrusive thoughts and reinforcing behaviors. Together, we'll structure a hierarchy to confront gradually. I may be the therapist, but I'm not the expert on how you understand yourself. I'm happy to guide you with my knowledge of treatment around OCD, but I want you to guide me in my understanding of you, the individual. Outside of work, I love to read, watch movies, and go for walks. I'm a foodie and enjoy trying different cuisines from a range of cultures.

OCD therapy can be tough at times, but that doesn't mean it has to be boring. We may even have some fun when brainstorming really creative exposures. I love to include humor in our sessions when appropriate and use metaphors that help you digest the material. I prioritize collaboration, ensuring you're included in creating exposures, always checking in to see where you're at. You are the expert of your OCD. I'll be here to guide you with treatment strategies, as you inform me how I can help you. We're a team. When I'm not in session, you'll find me trying that new cafe that just went viral on TikTok (just because), baking, or walking on the treadmill. I love glittery eyeshadows and trying new skincare products. I recently got into Pilates and attending super-fun HIIT classes. Fun fact: You'll likely never see my nails bare.
