Christi Hogan

Licensed Therapist, MA

As a therapist, I'm very direct, but also open, empathetic and patient. I look forward to working together with you to ease your struggles and make your life a lot better. In my spare time, I enjoy watching movies and spending time with my son, who's eight. I love to get outdoors and go for hikes. I think exercise is really important for reducing stress and supporting mental health.

Marcio Guzman

Licensed Therapist, Psy.D.

As a therapist, I aim to be authentic and present with the people I work with. I'll listen to your story with empathy, understanding, validation, and consistency, working to create a safe space. I personally have struggled with subclinical OCD symptoms. The treatment for OCD is effective. It can feel uncomfortable before it gets better. But it has the potential to make symptoms manageable and really improve the quality of your life. My other areas of focus include anxiety disorders, substance use, trauma, and anxiety disorders.

John Getchell

Licensed Therapist, MSW

My approach to treating OCD is simple yet effective. First, I want to get to know you and be able to connect with you. I consider it an honor and a privilege to hear your story. Second, I will provide high-quality ERP that will serve as a long-term solution to the difficulties you're facing. When I’m not working, I enjoy going to the beach. Living in Florida gives me many opportunities to snorkel, swim, and relax by the water. On most weekends, you will find me there.

Acacia Douglas

Licensed Therapist, LMFT

As an OCD therapist, I take a collaborative and supportive approach to help you develop and strengthen your skills. We will devise your treatment plan together and break it down into clear and manageable steps. I'm here to help hold you accountable and make the lasting change you've been looking for. Outside of work, I enjoy spending time with my family, attending soccer games, nurturing my plants, reading, catching up on movies and television shows—I’m always open to new suggestions—and trying to spend more time in nature.

Echo Darlington

Licensed Therapist, MS

My approach to treating OCD involves Exposure Response Prevention (ERP), which involves confronting your fears to enhance your ability to tolerate distress and reduce your susceptibility to triggers. Together, we will intentionally focus on your obsessions, anxieties, and fears that provoke anxiety. I will guide you in enduring this anxiety without engaging in any avoidance behaviors. I have treated many different conditions, including abuse, addictions, anxiety, depression, family conflict, personality disorders, PTSD, relationship issues, and more. A fun fact about me: I want to be a stand-up comedian. I've always relied heavily on humor, and I'm a big advocate of using humor in counseling.

Tina Odell

Licensed Therapist, MA

Helping individuals and families heal is a passion for me. My approach to treating OCD is accepting you where you are. The next step is to help you identify your triggers and fears, then your values. That way, we can pinpoint what we want to change. I'll gradually introduce you to exposures of your fears, then help you sit in the discomfort. Once we release uncomfortable thoughts, we feel a great deal of healing. In addition to treating OCD, I've worked extensively with trauma, abuse, relationship issues, and domestic violence.

Alison Gabel

Licensed Therapist, MA

Welcome to your wellness journey. It may not always be comfortable, but you can do this! Together, we will build an effective skills toolbox. I approach therapy with compassion and dogged determination. Having worked with folks who routinely feel othered and misunderstood, I can handle high-intensity situations and problem-solve with limited/alternative resources—a therapeutic MacGyver, if you will. No matter your situation, I will help you get to where you want to be. In addition to OCD, I specialize in LGBTQIA and transitioning issues, adult ADHD, kink community/non-traditional relationships, identity, trauma, and crisis intervention.

Rebecca Newel

Licensed Therapist, MA

I have several loved ones who have struggled with OCD their entire lives and found talk therapy to not be as effective as they would like. As a therapist who has worked with children and adolescents, I found my clients struggling to find interventions that were helpful. My approach to OCD therapy is collaborative, non-judgmental and supportive. NOCD has a highly effective program, and I am here to support you as much as possible on this journey. My other areas of professional focus include depression, anxiety, ADHD, ODD, PTSD, and learning disabilities.
