Trusted OCD Specialists in
Arizona

Bethany Burton

Licensed Therapist, MA

I've had my fair share of intrusive thoughts. I recall having thoughts of harm about my newborn and how upsetting it can be to experience them. But I also know how to deal with them now. I'm here to teach you how to treat intrusive thoughts like everyday thoughts, to learn how to just let them pass by. We’ll build a strong relationship founded on trust and safety so you feel comfortable sharing your thoughts with me. I can also be a little silly and use humor to release tensions during sessions.

Bonnie Grossman

Licensed Therapist, LPC

You need to know that the intrusive thoughts you're experiencing are not who you are and don't dictate your values and beliefs. I understand that you may be nervous about sharing your OCD thoughts or feel ashamed to even have them. I'll create an environment that makes you feel safe to open up. You need an ERP therapist that will listen to you without judgment. I want to be that therapist for you. It's essential that we have open communication during our time, and that includes me being clear to you on what's going on during sessions. Members describe me as warm, compassionate, and understanding. I'm here to support you, so together, we can break you away from the hold that OCD has on you so that you can get your life back on track.

Heather Brasseur

Licensed Therapist, LMHC

I’ve been a licensed therapist for 21 years, treating OCD as well as a wide range of mental illnesses and disorders. Scientifically proven treatment for OCD is now accessible for those in need with Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) therapy. Using ERP, I will help you reach your goal of overcoming OCD and finding more joy in your life.

Devon Garza

Licensed Therapist, MC

As a therapist, I'm really direct and comfortable pushing you to do what you need to do. I don't shy away from topics that you might think are weird or uncomfortable. I'm here to help you deal with those. Accountability is also important to me—we're going to talk about what's going well, and what's not going well. A fun fact about me: When I'm not in session, I love to nerd out playing board games and D&D, and try to keep my plants and mushroom gardens alive.

Marie Albertson

Licensed Therapist, LPC

OCD and anxiety are related but different. My ability to empathize and be solution-focused work in both treatment cases. Outside of work, I love writing, art, and swimming.

Carrie Wells

Licensed Therapist, MS

As someone who's been in therapy myself, I've made it my mission to become the kind of therapist I wished I had as a teenager. Building relationships with my members and collaborating with them to create and meet goals is so rewarding. At the core, I approach our work in therapy as a partner and collaborator. I don't profess to know you better than you know yourself. We are always a team. Although the process of OCD therapy can be uncomfortable and challenging, the payoff is gargantuan.

Chase Kerrey

Licensed Therapist, MA

Personally and professionally, I "get" anxiety, and OCD is a diagnosis I can relate to and enjoy treating. My approach to OCD therapy has been described as warm, collaborative, relational, witty, encouraging, and kind. Your journey at NOCD will at times require purposeful discomfort, but it pales in comparison to what you've experienced at the hands of OCD. My other areas of professional focus include anxiety, depression, mood disorders, self-harming behaviors, eating disorders, sexual compulsivity, self-esteem issues, and trauma.

Toni Sands

Licensed Therapist, M.Ed.

My approach to OCD therapy is person-centered. I work to build a therapeutic alliance and create a safe environment where you can share, without judgment, what brings you to NOCD. When I'm not working, I enjoy being active, whether it’s outside in nature or at the gym. I also love spending time with my significant other and our three pets, eating great food, and being cozy at home with some movies or shows.

Deirdre James

Licensed Therapist, MS

I became a therapist to help people pursue values-based lives they enjoy. My goal is to support individuals through their struggles, and I find that Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) offers an exceptionally effective method of assistance. I also incorporate techniques from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help you identify your values, accept challenges, and live a values-based life. My focus on anxiety and depression enables me to effectively treat individuals holistically. I’m here to support you throughout this journey, and this is a judgment-free zone.

Mandy Travis

Licensed Therapist, MA

In treating OCD, I want to get to know you and what brings you to seek therapy. I like to know what goals you'd like to work toward. Knowing how I can best help you helps me to collaborate on goals using ERP (Exposure and Response Prevention), which has a high success rate. I want to see people get better, and I love to guide them in that process. I also specialize in trauma, depression, anxiety, grief and loss, suicidality, and LGBTQIA+ issues.

Augusto Barbaran

Licensed Therapist, MS

I've seen how powerful therapy is in my members' lives and in my own life. OCD is a difficult disorder and not well understood by people who don't have experience with it. This is a safe and judgment-free space. I'm here to support and teach, to encourage risk-taking, and to support members in pushing through the discomfort while practicing ERP. Progress is made outside of your comfort zone; in therapy, we spend a lot of time outside the comfort zone. But I'm here every step of the way.

Kyla O'Neal

Licensed Therapist, MA

Every day, I am inspired by the resilience and strength people with OCD demonstrate in their journey toward managing and conquering their fears. I treat OCD with a case-by-case approach. Everyone's situation varies. I will tailor therapy to your specific needs, using evidence-based approaches such as Exposure Response Prevention (ERP), psychotherapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and mindfulness. My other areas of focus include anxiety disorders, depression and mood disorders, trauma and PTSD, relationship and couples counseling, and women's issues.

Wilda Rodriguez-Barnett

Licensed Therapist, MSW

I provide authentic, genuine care. I'll create a safe, non-judgmental space for you to be you. In our sessions, I'll listen to you closely. We'll target issues and areas to work on so you can function at your optimum level. In addition to treating OCD, I have experience with motivational interviewing, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), trauma-based therapy, and applied behavior analysis.

Uvoltta Francis

Licensed Therapist, MS

I focus on holistic, non-judgmental healing. I bring a lighthearted, energetic personality to sessions. I look forward to working with you on your journey to wellness. A few fun facts about me: I'm a proud veteran of the armed forces and the wife of a federal law enforcement agent. I enjoy my two dogs, jeeping, camping, watching Netflix, and reading.

Owen Konecnik

Licensed Therapist, MSW

As someone with OCD, I understand the struggle to feel better and find help. I approach everyone with empathy, a non-judgmental attitude, and encouragement. I believe therapy is based on trust. I work hard to give my members safety through compassion, affirmation, and my genuine desire to help them believe in their ability to heal. Approaching life by seeing humor in situations (where appropriate) can be a healthy way to facilitate healing. I specialize in trauma-informed care and relational PTSD, depression, anxiety, and working with LGBTQA+ individuals.

Kimberly Parra

Licensed Therapist, MA

OCD can be tricky and sticky in thought. My hope is to provide a safe, supportive atmosphere where you feel open to sharing. I will focus on building a solid foundation of honesty, trust, and respect as we explore the experiences that bring you to therapy. I studied child psychology and education, then pursued a career in teaching before becoming a therapist. In addition to OCD, my areas of expertise include trauma, anxiety, depression, relational trauma, attachment disorders, and eating disorders.

Michael Thomson

Licensed Therapist, MA

I am a person-centered therapist, first and foremost. Our sessions are a 100% safe space and judgment-free. I have a great deal of experience working with dual-diagnosis populations, the LGBTQIA+ community, and people who have or have had medical issues. The most gratifying part of my job is seeing tangible changes in the people I'm serving. If you have any concerns about OCD therapy, ask me any and all questions so I can help facilitate your progress. There are no wrong questions.

Olga Secgin-Valentine

Licensed Therapist, MA

I decided to specialize in OCD because I've worked with several people who have OCD; I wanted to gain the skills and knowledge to help people move forward. I really take my time to get to know my members and understand their concerns. I believe it's essential to understand your story and what you're experiencing, from your point of view. I've worked with a variety of diagnoses, including depression, anxiety, trauma, schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, and much more. OCD therapy may be challenging, but we will work together to reach your health goals.

Jason Pierce

Licensed Therapist, MA

As your therapist, I am your ally. I will offer support and guidance. I became an OCD therapist because I worked with many people who tried to manage their anxiety but typical interventions weren't helpful; I wanted to learn different ways of helping people manage their stressors. I have worked with people that have personality disorders, anxiety, and depression. Sometimes in OCD therapy, things can seem more difficult before they get better. Breathe in, breathe out, and take it step by step. This can be a life changer.

Michelle Enenbach

Licensed Therapist, MSW

My family has been affected by OCD, and I became a therapist because I wanted to understand them better. I served 13 years in the United States Marine Corps. As a counselor, I've worked with families and individuals from many different countries, cultures, and socioeconomic statuses. I know that mental illness does not discriminate. In therapy, I create a non-judgmental environment where you can feel safe. I will meet you where you're at, but at times, I'll challenge you to break free of old, faulty thinking. The only thing I want is your individual success.
