Trusted OCD Specialists in
Iowa

Brian Rohloff

Licensed Therapist, LCPC

As a therapist that specializes in OCD, I learned the value of structured therapy with concrete goals to reach during treatment. Before joining NOCD, my work in a community mental health clinic put me in front of diverse people and mental health issues. I treated anxiety, depression, and schizophrenia and even became a team leader at the clinic. I enjoy using Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) therapy to treat people with OCD because ERP allows me to set those goals customized for your life, based on what you need.

Alyssa Lentz

Licensed Therapist, MS

I have personal lived experience with OCD. I can tell you that OCD therapy works. You can have freedom from OCD. You don't have to live life by the rules OCD imposes on you. I'm very open with my members about what we're doing and my experience with OCD. I like to make sure members guide the session as much as they can, and I incorporate humor as much as possible. I also have experience treating trauma, addiction, and anxiety disorders.

Alicia Kaja

Licensed Therapist, LMSW

As a therapist, my approach is to meet you where you are today. Then, through the evidence-based practice of ERP, I will provide the support and tools to empower you to overcome your thoughts and urges and pursue the life you truly want for yourself. Outside of work, I’m equal parts book nerd and nature lover. I enjoy being by the water, going to the beach, rock hunting, hiking, fishing, and getting out in nature. I also love board games, books, painting, coloring, drawing, writing poetry, and watching TV (horror movies, true crime shows, and ridiculous stand-up comedy are my favorites).

Diandrea Seipel

Licensed Therapist, LMHC

I take a collaborative and non-judgmental approach to treating OCD. I'm willing to do everything I ask my members to do, and I work to challenge specific core fears so we work at the roots of OCD, not just the branches. Outside of work, I enjoy spending time with my partner, two children, dog, and cat. I enjoy going on walks and hikes when it isn't too hot, reading, and spending time with friends and family. I also enjoy being around horses whenever possible.

Wendy Durant

Licensed Therapist, MED

My therapeutic approach involves using ERP, an evidenced-based treatment approach to create a supportive, nonjudgmental, collaborative, didactic, therapeutic space to treat OCD. In addition to being a therapist supporting clients with OCD, I’m a wife, boy mom, and dog mom (I have three dogs: two toy poodles and a cocker spaniel). I love to travel and experience new cultures and places, spend time with my family and friends, and read. I am actively involved with my sorority and volunteer as a crisis counselor with LBGT+ youth.

Daniel Papandrea

Licensed Therapist, MA

My approach to treating OCD involves building a strong therapeutic relationship where we can work in collaboration and you feel comfortable and empowered. You know yourself best, and I will meet you where you're at. In my downtime, I enjoy practicing jujitsu (I've been doing it for over 25 years), hiking, traveling, spending time with my family, and marathon-watching my favorite shows and movies.

Cindy Walker

Licensed Therapist, MA

I take a person-centered approach and utilize my creativity to help members find their strengths and empower them to use the skills taught. Outside of work, I love to read, practice yoga, and run around with my child.

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.

Toli Van Buskirk

Licensed Therapist, MSW

I approach therapy with compassion, empathy, and validation. My goal is to provide a safe, confidential, and non-judgmental space. I'll meet you where you are, and we'll take things at your pace. Acknowledging your OCD and committing to ERP is hard work. I'll invite you to sit with anxiety and challenge yourself to become comfortable with the uncomfortable. I'll gently encourage you and remind you about your courage. My other areas of professional focus include depression and anxiety disorders, ADHD, perinatal mental health, grief, loss, and relationship issues.
