Joanna Flemister
Licensed Therapist, MA, SC-LPC, NC-LCMHC, CCATP
About
I have personal experience with OCD and want to share what I know works, according to the knowledge I've gained through personal and professional experience. No one's path is the same. Some people progress through OCD therapy quicker than others. This is your journey — be patient with yourself. ERP (Exposure and Response Prevention) works. Have faith. Beyond OCD, I have experience treating anxiety, depression, tics, BFRBs (body-focused repetitive behaviors), and ADHD.

ERP can be pretty hard and at times scary and intimidating, Mrs. Flemister has been nothing but kind, compassionate, and understanding to me as we go through this process. She always helps me to go at my pace and what I feel like I can do. She has been extremely helpful and is very good at explaining what I need to do and why I need to do it. She always helps to give me the push I need to do hard things, and helps me understand that I CAN do hard things. I would recommend her to anyone who needs help with facing their OCD fears. She’s an amazing therapist.

This was our first meeting, so I'm still waiting to see how it goes further and don't want to judge too quickly. But so far, one thing that the therapist can improve on is to try to establish a connection to the adolescent patient first, before focusing on going trough paperwork.

My shy daughter is feeling more comfortable talking about her problem and we are learning a lot. Our therapist has been great.
