I've experienced my own successful journey with therapy, and I'm passionate about extending that help to others. My approach to OCD treatment is collaborative, member-led, and guided by gentle nudges. You'll have the agency to give consent for the exercises we undertake, and your willingness and eagerness will propel us toward a healthier, more manageable place. Your active participation in this journey is paramount. In addition to OCD, I have experience treating severe and chronic mental illness, including anxiety, depression, trauma, psychosis, and bipolar.

Good experienceTia is the best! I re started therapy for contamination OCD after being in recovery for about a year. I would not be where I am today without Tia! I went from not wanting to go out in public to attending a dance and going to events. She has truly made a world of difference. I'm so grateful for Tia!
