Kelly Sansone

Licensed Therapist, LCSW

I’ve been practicing as a licensed therapist since 2008. My main area of focus is OCD with specialized training in Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) therapy. I use ERP to treat people with all types of OCD themes, including aggressive, taboo, and a range of other unique types.

Mayra Nieto

Licensed Therapist, LPC

My own indirect and direct relationship with OCD and anxiety has helped me understand people and their families who are also suffering from OCD and co-occurring disorders. I'm a creative and hopeful therapist who takes an individualized approach. Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) has some concrete focuses, but it is important to be unique with each exposure and each member; none of us are exactly the same. My other areas of focus include major depressive disorder, faith-based counseling, and generalized anxiety disorder.

Cara Michalak

Licensed Therapist, M.Ed.

In therapy, you can expect me to be non-judgmental, understanding, patient, and empathetic. Outside of work, I love spending time in nature and with animals, listening to live music, and traveling all over the United States and other countries.

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.

Ashley Kasperski

Licensed Therapist, MA

As a therapist, I'm direct and solution-centered. I want to help others who don't feel safe with their thought processes and show there's hope. Therapy can feel intimidating in the beginning. The key thing to remember: The more you let down your walls and become vulnerable to the process, the more change you'll see within yourself. Trust the process and continue to show up, even when it's hard. I love working with individuals and seeing how far they've come.

Abby Ensmenger

Licensed Therapist, MSW

OCD can isolate you and prevent you from living the life you love. I want to help restore what has been lost and cultivate a sense of hope. I practice a person-centered, collaborative approach that builds on your strengths. Although OCD may be part of your experience, it is not your identity. My experience provides a broad perspective that recognizes and honors the complexity of your life. My additional areas of focus include anxiety, depression, loss and grief, life transitions, end-of-life, terminal and chronic illness, adolescence, and adult and geriatric issues.
