About

OCD has a way of wiping out your self-esteem and self-worth. Something I can do as a therapist is to help empower you to find your strengths to approach things in a different way so you can take that next step toward wholeness. Outside of work, I enjoy engaging in new and fun activities like working on puzzles, going to amusement parks, doing escape rooms, and traveling.

Get to know Kristine Guerra

I decided to become a therapist because of my deep empathy for others and my strong desire to help empower people toward self-discovery by realizing their inner strengths and abilities to reach their full potential.

Throughout my education and work experience, I discovered the extensive impact OCD has on the lives of those affected. I decided I needed to learn more about OCD and exposure and response prevention to help people regain control over their lives.

I have experience working with children, adolescents, and adults, focusing on a variety of areas including anxiety, stress, depression, life transitions, parenting stressors, as well as trauma.

Exposure and response prevention is going to be challenging work, but it is also some of the most rewarding and worthwhile work that you can do. You will not be alone in the process. I will be there to support you along the way through live sessions and messaging, and you will have access to the NOCD community of people, who like you, are also living with OCD.

Taking that first step is not easy. I understand that every individual is unique and it is hard for people to open up and be vulnerable and share their thoughts. Intrusive thoughts are normal, and I will respond with compassion and understanding. My communication style is calm, empathetic, accepting, and personable. I take pride in my ability to listen without judgment, and I consider it a privilege and an honor to come alongside you as you take this first step.

She’s the best. Skilled and compassionate. Patient and well versed in all things OCD. I’ve gone from a shell of myself, to someone who can function, and isn’t crippled like I was before

Kristine is so understanding of my situation. Doesn’t give me reassurance which is great! But also give me the tools and motivation to keep moving in my recovery. Honestly NOCD is one of the best things that has happened to me and idk where I would be without it.

Kristine Guerra is my therapist. She is the perfect combination of compassion, education and knowledge about my OCD and all of its subsets. She knows how to keep me on track with my ERP, while also maintaining a non-judgmental, caring and professional approach. This is the first time in 40 years, that I feel empowered and have hope. So grateful for Kristine! -Sara Jukes

I love Kristine, and she's great at what she does. But my ADHD is getting the best of me and I don't feel like I'm able to focus on what I need to do. I need to find a way to got on top of both of these issues at once, and I feel like I'm just treading water.
