OCD Specialists in
Baltimore, Maryland

Laura Lamir

Licensed Therapist, MS

Having spent over a decade treating people with various disorders, I find that my experience working with families helps me a great deal when treating OCD. Family relationships can play a crucial role in exacerbating OCD, but that’s just one aspect I look at during treatment. I also have experience working with at-risk youths and at a local community health center. There’s nothing I haven’t seen before, and by using Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) therapy, I’ve helped a lot of people put their OCD troubles behind them.

Mary Harfst

Licensed Therapist, LCSW

My passion is helping those with OCD maximize their quality of life. OCD is debilitating, but I know that receiving the appropriate treatment can bring back your life. I’ve been a licensed therapist for over 30 years. I graduated from the University of Maryland, and have specialized training in Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) therapy.

Kathryn Ciraolo

Licensed Therapist, LCSW

I've been a licensed clinical social worker with over 16 years of extensive experience, with much of my career working in a hospital setting where I saw many people with OCD (along with other issues such as trauma, depression, and anxiety). I also have a brother that suffers from OCD, and I’ve seen the impact OCD can have at home. People with OCD can make great progress in treatment when Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) is used. ERP is very focused because it can be tailored for any OCD subtype. I'm motivated to teach you how to manage your OCD so you can reach your highest level of independence.

Meghin Tobin

Licensed Therapist, LMFT

My years of experience working in private practice, a psychiatric hospital, and non-profit organizations has prepared me to become a therapist that specializes in OCD. I can handle any OCD challenge that you're facing thanks to Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) therapy, the most effective treatment for any OCD subtype. ERP can make a person feel exposed as they face their fears, but I’m here to help you walk through your journey.

MaryBeth Overstreet

Licensed Therapist, LPC

I began my career working in school systems with behaviorally-challenged children and then moved into treating adults & families for severe mental health challenges. Treating OCD was always part of my caseload. I've even done face-to-face exposure work with some challenging disorders. My ability to treat any OCD subtype is enhanced by using Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP). ERP is evidence-based, which means the treatment is supported by both research and positive outcomes.

Kim Nelson-Blackburn

Licensed Therapist, LCSW

I have over 25 years of experience helping people overcome their challenges. I now specialize as an OCD therapist, handling any OCD subtype using Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) therapy. I've also worked with college students at Purdue University that faced stress and anxiety disorders, kids in foster care under severe trauma, and even worked outpatient treating many types of cases, including Alzheimer's patients. ERP is evidence-based and proven to work. I know it can work for you, too.

Robyn Pavlick

Licensed Therapist, LPC

Having been licensed since 2013, I’ve worked with people facing severe mental health challenges such as depression, schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, and more. I’ve also spent time treating women at an inpatient substance abuse facility, seeing clients that exhibited OCD symptoms. As an OCD specialist, I use Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) therapy, something I have experience using before arriving at NOCD. ERP is effective and proven to work for treating any OCD subtype.

Lauren Lake

Licensed Therapist, LCPC

I’ve been practicing as a licensed therapist and counselor for over 8 years and now specialize in treating OCD. I also specialize in trauma care and have helped many people with their trauma-related disorders. For people with OCD, I use an evidence-based treatment called Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) therapy. ERP allows me to address your particular OCD challenges, giving you truly personalized treatment.

Justin Trout

Licensed Therapist, LPC

Starting when I was young, through some personal experiences, I have felt called to help people. I love seeing people overcome hills and valleys and by the end of therapy be able to say, "I feel better."

Natalie Delgado

Licensed Therapist, Psy.D.

As a therapist, I emphasize and value collaboration. I focus on creating and strengthening rapport with the people I'm working with. I will check in with you, step by step, to ensure you feel comfortable as we go through the process. A fun fact about me: I found out in middle school that I can lick my elbow, even though that's supposed to be impossible, and I can still do it. I even did it during my grad school interview. I tell people that's the only reason why I got in!

Christine Vara

Licensed Therapist, LICSW

I try to bring an authentic experience to the people I work with. I aim to create a safe space. I like to laugh a lot, because that helps foster connection and normalize the process of therapy. When I'm not doing therapy, I enjoy practicing kickboxing and martial arts, and my guilty pleasure is watching the Bachelor franchise.
