Catherine Collins

I became a therapist to empower individuals to find their voice and gain skills to achieve quality of life. I believe it's important to have people in our corner to validate and normalize our challenges while pushing us to be our most authentic selves. I'm grateful for each opportunity to fulfill that role for others.

I have a personal connection to OCD via family and friends. I know OCD can feel like it's controlling your life. I'm excited about being able to specialize in the gold standard for OCD treatment.

Mindfulness, strengths-based therapy, grief and loss, and cognitive behavioral therapy.

NOCD is committed to helping members conquer their OCD! It will be hard but worthwhile work and the long-term benefits far outweigh the initial hesitation and discomfort. Individuals have been utilizing ERP with NOCD and succeeded for many years.

It is absolutely normal to feel afraid or anxious about sharing intrusive thoughts, compulsions, and concerns with a therapist, especially one that you just met. It is my responsibility to acknowledge this and to create an environment free of judgment. I strive to create a space where you can feel safe and comfortable to be yourself and focus on your goals.
