Trusted OCD Specialists in
Massachusetts

I’ve treated OCD, as well as other forms of mental health challenges, for almost 20 years. I’ve used Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) therapy elements in general cases for trauma and PTSD, but now I provide specialized care for those dealing with OCD. I have experience treating all ages and know how ERP can benefit anyone dealing with all OCD subtypes. I’ll be honest. I love ERP because of how well it works. Let’s start treatment and get you better.

Nicole McCutchan

I can understand your distress. I was diagnosed with OCD 15 years ago, and I've seen great results with ERP (Exposure and Response Prevention). It teaches you a different way to react to thoughts. As a therapist, I'm a teacher and a guide. I participate in the skills I'm teaching, in and out of session. If you're willing to participate, you will see results. I love seeing people work hard on ERP and achieve major changes in their lives. I also have experience treating depression, anxiety, trauma, and addiction.

Tracy Mowles

Licensed Therapist, LPC

I'm an empathetic therapist who understands that each individual is unique. OCD is often misunderstood, and I want to help fix that. Although OCD is chronic, your suffering doesn't have to be. You are not alone in seeking therapy. ERP (Exposure and Response Prevention) can be effective in a short time, if you're consistent with practicing your skills. It's not my job to judge you; it's to listen. My other areas of focus include BFRBs (body-focused repetitive behaviors), hoarding, depression, generalized anxiety, phobias, and panic.

Andrew Moeller

Licensed Therapy, LMHC

I've been a licensed counselor since 2013, having run my private practice with a steady influx of OCD cases for several years. Out of all the approaches to OCD treatment that I've used, I find Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) therapy to be the most effective. ERP goes beyond other methods and tackles the problem head-on. By using ERP in our sessions, you can look forward to better days ahead.

Helene Titelbaum

OCD therapy may feel daunting, but you are more capable than you realize. You can do hard things. Therapy is a journey we're on together. This is a place to work toward feeling safe. I'm not here to judge; I'm here to understand. I'll help you define your goals and work toward them in every session. When we let ourselves approach things that feel uncertain, the benefits can be greater than we can think. I also specialize in treating anxiety, depression, trauma, and family systems issues.

Katie Belmore

Licensed Therapist, LMHC

I’ve been in the mental health field for several years and now specialize in OCD. My road to becoming an OCD specialist has been paved by treating people in a community mental health care facility, working with children and families, and helping kids aged out of foster care. To treat your OCD in the most effective way possible, I use Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) therapy during sessions. ERP can be tough to go through, but I think you’ll find it incredibly useful in overcoming your OCD.

Yvonne Arias

Licensed Therapist, LMFT

My approach to OCD therapy is kind but firm. My sessions are a safe, non-judgmental space where you'll learn to confront your fears and have the support to trust in your ability to withstand distress. It's important to understand that your thoughts aren't facts — they don't have to be in charge of your life. Sharing your thoughts can take away their power. ERP (Exposure and Response Prevention) is extremely effective, especially when practiced consistently and repeatedly. I also specialize in anxiety, depression, ADD, crisis counseling, and adjustment disorders.

Tiffany Merritt

Licensed Therapist, LMHC

For over 10 years, I’ve worked as a licensed therapist helping people overcome severe cases of OCD and substance abuse. My experience has been gained working within an inpatient psych facility and chemical dependency centers along with my own private practice. Being an OCD specialist means that I use Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) therapy during sessions, considered the gold standard of OCD treatment. ERP can be challenging, but by balancing compassion and a little push, ERP can do tremendous things for you.

Courtney Holbrook

I understand what you’re going through, because I have struggled with OCD myself. Outside of work, I enjoy true-crime books and podcasts, and I love being in nature. I once hiked to the bottom of the Grand Canyon and back up in one day. That's about 10 hours. I didn't think I'd make it, but I did. It was a great experience—but next time I'll spend the night before hiking back up.

Arielle Speer

I have family members who've experienced OCD, so I have deep empathy for those struggling with mental health. As a therapist, I'm humanistic. I believe your treatment should be guided by you. I encourage you to have self-compassion as you learn to recognize that you are not your thoughts. The goal is progress, not perfection. As a team, we'll get there. I’ve also worked in crisis mental health services, treating substance use disorders and survivors of sexual and domestic violence.

Margaret Pricejones

As a therapist, first and foremost, I provide support and empathy. Then I'll teach you techniques to manage your OCD. Outside of work, I'm a big biker. I bike everywhere for transportation.

Carolyn Meiman

OCD therapy can be scary and hard work at times. But you're not alone. I'm here to help you in whatever capacity you need. As a therapist, I am person-centered. I will empower you to take the lead and tell me what role I need to play in each session. No matter what, you're going to come out of therapy with skills that will make a difference, big or small. My primary experience is in community-based practice, focusing on kids, depression, anxiety, parenting skills, family communication, and mindfulness.

Scott Serpa

As a therapist, I use a non-judgmental, strengths-oriented, evidence-based approach. I'll meet you where you're at and get to know you, and we'll work together to identify goals and help you reach them. Individuals in my family have struggled with mental health, and I've seen therapy help people overcome tremendous obstacles in their lives. I've also treated depression, anxiety, social phobias, grief, trauma, substance abuse, and persistent mental illness. I know it may be difficult to take the first step and seek help. But I'll be with you, every step of the way.

Jen Locke

I'm a non-judgmental listener. I hope sitting with me is like sitting with a friend or a coach who can help you by listening. I'll give feedback, but this is your therapy: You'll decide what you'll do in your life. OCD can be a lifelong illness, but it's definitely manageable if you get the right help. Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) has been shown to work by decades of research. I've also treated trauma, depression, anxiety, social anxiety, agoraphobia, ADHD, and behavioral issues in children, including oppositional and conduct behaviors.

Faran Asen

As a therapist, I'm very collaborative and direct. I like to meet people where they're at. I enjoy coming up with really unique exposures and making sure that we're doing what feels right for you. I try to make sessions light-hearted, when possible, because there's a lot of anxiety and fear involved in OCD. As long as you're still willing to keep going with therapy, you're succeeding. I have experience treating anxiety and panic disorders, in addition to borderline personality disorder and emotional dysregulation.

Jennifer Beardslee

Licensed Therapist, Ed.S

You are not alone. Effective therapy for OCD is available. You're on the first step toward getting help and support. As an OCD therapist, I create an empathetic, nonjudgmental space where you can feel comfortable opening up. I like to let you lead. I will meet you where you are and help you find the wisdom within yourself. I’ve also treated anxiety, depression, ADHD, hyperactivity, conduct disorders, autism, and social communication deficits.

Alessandra Rizzotti

I'm a solution-focused and goal-oriented therapist. I can also be pretty irreverent and like to use my sense of humor. I focus both on acceptance of the self, as well as change, when creating an action-oriented plan for the people I work with. A few fun facts about me: I'm a beekeeper, and I really like doing art interventions. I used to be a writer and editor, so I like to harness my creativity.

Lilyvette Perez

Licensed Therapist, LMHC

There are tools to help you manage OCD symptoms. Learning more about OCD and managing those symptoms can improve your quality of life. ERP (Exposure and Response Prevention) is an evidence-based treatment, and members dedicated to their progress can see changes within a few sessions. As a therapist, my approach is a balance between direct and supportive. I will challenge you, but I understand that progress is a process. I allow space for growth to happen at your individual pace. My other therapeutic focus is trauma.

Jessica Spaman

Personally and professionally, I understand how mental health issues can challenge an individual, their family, and their loved ones. I enjoy seeing the quick progress people with OCD can make when they find the courage to face their fears and learn to tolerate temporary discomfort. So much growth and healing happen when we step outside our comfort zones. Change is hard, but so is living with OCD and anxiety. You can do hard things! I also enjoy helping people with depression, anxiety, PTSD, maternal mental health, parenting, emotion regulation, and adjustment.

Cody Fournier

As someone who has firsthand experience with OCD, I know how scary intrusive thoughts can be. I've received ERP (Exposure and Response Prevention) therapy myself and know how effective this treatment is. My approach to treating OCD is collaborative, honest, and motivational. I will be your biggest cheerleader. My goal is to help you achieve a sense of freedom from OCD, a life where you and the condition are in coexistence. I have also treated dual diagnoses, children and adolescents with a history of trauma, and individuals in a primary care setting.

Alana Kearney

I'm pleased to provide evidence-based therapy that is clinically proven to alleviate symptoms of OCD. You will receive the gold standard of treatment, which will guide you toward lessening OCD's control of your life. Thoughts are just thoughts. Let's work on them together. I love it when members are motivated, engaged, and reach their goals. My other areas of focus include depressive disorders, mood disorders, and ADHD.

Jessie Gonzalez

Licensed Therapist, LMFT

I believe in being a collaborator to help my members achieve their goals. I am here for you! This is a space where you can say anything. I'm an experienced family systems and relationships therapist who is trained in many evidence-based practices, including ERP (Exposure and Response Prevention). I am happy to provide services in my native language of Spanish.

Monica Davis

I pride myself on being flexible and meeting members where they're at. There is no one-size-fits-all treatment. Every member comes to us with unique needs. When I'm not doing therapy, I use dance as a form of relaxation and self-expression. I started ballet and figure skating at a very early age. I am on a Melbourne Shuffle dance team that has brought me many new friends and wonderful experiences.

Marissa Friedberg

Licensed Therapist, MS

As a therapist, my aim is to provide a safe, nurturing space to help you reach your goals. Treating OCD is collaborative. We will take this journey together. It's a process, and it's important to trust that process. There will be good and bad days, but I'll be here for you every step of the way. My other professional areas of focus include anxiety and depression. Anxiety has impacted me and a number of my family members.

Klara Prachar

I am committed to the efficacy of exposure response prevention, because it works! I will highlight your strengths and encourage you to use them through the ERP process. There is no easy way around it—you have to do the work, but we are here to support you through those challenges. Some fun facts about me: I'm a hopeless animal enthusiast and have two rescue dogs, Juno and Ike. I like to pretend that I know how to cook, run in the park, hike the mountains, and I recently started a garden. My favorite part so far is pulling weeds—it is surprisingly satisfying.

Ebun Orimoloye

I understand firsthand how debilitating anxiety can be, and I'm passionate about helping people live with more peace. I'm a creative and supportive therapist who takes a culturally aware approach to treatment. I understand how identity impacts a person's experience. I have a passion for helping people understand themselves and the world, then experience both in ways that honor their mind, body, and spirit. Seeing people make meaningful progress quickly is the most gratifying part of my job. At NOCD, you are in the best hands when it comes to a treatment that is proven to work.

Erika Valek

Licensed Certified Social Worker

It is an honor to offer hope and change to individuals who, like me, face challenges with OCD. As your therapist, my role is to walk alongside you on your OCD journey. The work is collaborative. Together, we'll decide how to help you learn to tolerate your distress. You have a say in the work we do and the exposures we use. I'm originally from South America, and I am proud to be Hispanic. I am fluent in Spanish and love to offer individuals the opportunity to do our work in that language.

Skye Walker

My approach to treating OCD is non-judgmental, but challenging, helping members gain the tools to face their fears and learn to be more comfortable with the uncomfortable. Outside of work, I spend most of my time doing partner acrobatics and other circus skills, as well as playing many hours of boardgames! I also love to travel, read, watch movies and shows.

Maya Haraseyko

Licensed Certified Social Worker

I genuinely care and love helping others. My approach to therapy is thorough, flexible, and supportive, utilizing the skills NOCD trains therapists with. I've treated conditions ranging from severe mood disorders to trauma, anxiety, and substance abuse. I've also worked with children and adolescents who have autism spectrum disorders and severe behavioral problems. I sincerely believe things can always improve with work and dedication. Any growth, change, or improvement can take time. Progress can include setbacks. It's important not to give up.

Sam Sullivan

I have OCD but have not been symptomatic for several years. I hope to help others achieve that same accomplishment. As your therapist, I want to learn about you and your obsessions and compulsions. We will start slow. There's no pressure to get things right the first time; we can take things as far as you're willing to push yourself. If you commit to working through uncomfortable feelings, living life outside of your head is a beautiful thing. My other focus areas include anxiety, eating disorders, and trauma.

Brittany Quinn

Licensed Therapist, MS

I became a therapist because I’ve always wanted to provide a safe space for individuals to be their authentic selves. I'm honored to see people’s natural growth and be a part of their healing journey. I specialize in OCD because I can provide intensive, individualized treatment that allows people to feel hopeful again. Be ready to share your symptoms and concerns. And be proud of yourself for taking this step—therapy is a way of taking charge of your life. My other areas of focus include depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, major life transitions, and relationship/family concerns.

Tim Long

My approach to treating OCD is based on forming a partnership with members, common understanding and mutual choice of the pace and intensity of treatment. I have a strong admiration for people who take the brave step to confront challenges despite hesitations or worry. OCD therapy offers the opportunity to achieve what may seem impossible. The gains made in treatment can have substantial, long-lasting effects that greatly improve the quality of your life. My other areas of clinical experience include the treatment of depression, anxiety, and navigating the challenges of co-parenting or foster parenting.

Kristen Francisco

I specialize in OCD because it's often misunderstood, requiring specific training and expertise to diagnose and treat. When you stop fighting your obsessions and anxiety, your symptoms will naturally decrease. The question isn't whether you can or can’t, but how you do it. I became a therapist because I have a knack for guiding people through difficult times. Asking for help can be difficult, and you may feel alone, but I’m here to help you. I too have fought my own mental health battles, not always with ease but with hope and determination. Let’s do the same, together.

Irmgard Aidoo

You're in the right place to get OCD treatment. I'm a versatile clinician who will meet you where you're at, highlight your strengths, and utilize ERP (Exposure and Response Prevention) to improve your functioning. The most gratifying part of my job is when a member is able to improve their daily experience and take steps toward living a meaningful life, according to their values. My other areas of professional focus include ADHD, anxiety disorders, depression, and parenting support.

Paul Song

Mental Health Counselor

Through my firsthand experience of recovering from a severe spinal cord injury, I realized mental health recovery is just as important as physical recovery, and I wanted to treat anxiety and depression. OCD has a high chance of comorbidity with anxiety. At NOCD, we create optimized treatment plans for each member. Therapy is a mutual process, and I deeply appreciate your engagement. ERP (Exposure and Response Prevention) has proven to be very effective for OCD symptoms.

Courtney Heaney

Mental Health Counselor

I have OCD. I understand how disruptive it can be to everyday life. I also know ERP (Exposure and Response Prevention) therapy works for OCD, because I have received it. I strive to practice with empathy, understanding, and kindness. I lean into a strengths-based and person-centered approach. (I'm also passionate about art therapy.) I believe you know yourself best. You have all the tools you need; therapy will help you identify and highlight those strengths. I hope to empower you to manage your symptoms and live a happy, fulfilled life.

Brittany Pavao

Mental Health Counselor

My approach to therapy involves creating a safe, non-judgmental space where individuals feel comfortable sharing their experiences. In part to that, collaboration is key; I work closely with members to develop personalized strategies that empower them to manage their symptoms effectively. I am an advocate for the deaf and hard of hearing community. Additionally, my focus on gender-affirming care, alongside areas such as anxiety, depression, autism, and PTSD, stems from a deep commitment to supporting marginalized communities and addressing diverse mental health needs.

Lesley DaPonte

Mental Health Clinician

My experience surviving a brain aneurysm and stroke at age 12 motivated me to be a support for others, because I received wonderful support during my recovery. I spent many years working with individuals whose OCD was misdiagnosed as anxiety and ADHD. As a NOCD therapist, I help treat OCD symptoms with the best approach — nonjudgmental and evidence-based. My other areas of focus include anxiety, depression, ADHD, spectrum disorders, reactive attachment disorder, and post-traumatic stress disorders.

Kelly Stever

I am committed to your success. You can count on me to listen without judgment, be open and honest with you, and do my very best to see you take back your life from OCD. The work will be challenging but rewarding, and I believe in you! You can change your relationship with your fears. I'm honored I get to help facilitate that life-changing shift.
