Blima Hoffman

Licensed Therapist, LCSW

In therapy, first and foremost, I like to develop a relationship with the person I'm working with.

I've never had one, but that's one of my dreams: to one day get a dog.

Caroline Reis

Licensed Therapist, LMHC

With OCD, it can take a long time to get that correct treatment—you may have gone from therapist to therapist not really getting exactly what you need. I like to educate people I'm working with on that diagnosis and what that means for treatment. There is hope. There is an effective treatment for OCD, and there are a lot of things we can work on. Outside of work, I have three kids, and like to run. It's how I keep myself physically and mentally healthy.

Nicole O'Brien

Licensed Therapist, LMFT

As a therapist, I work to create a space that is non-judgmental, open, warm, and compassionate. This is your space. You're in control of what you want to do or don't want to do. It's a place where you can feel comfortable. Outside of work, I'm a huge animal person, and I don't discriminate against what type of animal it is—dog, cat, fish, lizard or guinea pig. You're always welcome to show me your little fuzzy, scaly, or slimy friends.

Lisa de Guzman

Licensed Therapist, LCSW

First and foremost, I want you to feel like you're heard and not judged. You're not alone in this; there is help.

A fun fact about me: My new self-care activity is transforming a Ford Transit so my husband and I can spend time in nature and settle back into the universe. It's a beautiful thing.

Ryan Ventillo

Licensed Therapist, LMHC

As a therapist, I am authentic, compassionate, and caring. Empathy and open communication are important, and I take the time to listen and understand. I like to set specific goals and use measurable instruments so we can understand where we started and where we're going. Some fun facts about me: I've traveled to more than half of the United States. I'm a big outdoorsy type of person and love going on hikes and to national parks.

Anna Newton

Tara Rossine

Licensed Therapist, LCSW

As a therapist, I always try to lead with empathy and support. I truly believe you're the expert on your own life, so I want to put you in the driver's seat. I always make sure we're learning skills in session, so you have kind of a toolbox to use until we meet again. When I'm not doing therapy, I love to cook. I'm always in the kitchen, coming up with new vegetarian recipes or desserts. I'm always down to bake a pie or experiment with food. That's how I do self-care.

Makayla Gerhardt

Licensed Therapist, LMHC

My first priority as a therapist is to build trust. I know the thoughts you're having might be distressing. You can tell me anything. I won't judge you, and I will meet you where you're at, as an individual. Some fun facts about me: Every week, I get a Netflix DVD—yes, a physical DVD—sent to me. I love cinema.

Sobhuza Moore

Licensed Therapist, LMHC

In therapy, I strive to create a safe space where people can feel open enough to be authentic with me, to be courageous and talk about the different things that are impacting their lives. That way, we can collaborate to figure out the best course of action. Outside of work, I love all types of music. I use it to help support me whether I'm feeling great or feeling down, and it's something that helps me connect with people.

Leana DeVoe

Licensed Therapist, LMHC

As a therapist, I believe it's hard to sustain our day-to-day lives by ourselves. I tend to ground therapy in helping to create and foster connections and support systems, so you don't feel as isolated at the end of therapy as you did in the beginning. I like to get a good understanding of what your OCD looks like on a day-to-day basis. We'll use ERP to confront and cope with those thoughts constructively, setting realistic goals. Outside of work, I enjoy being with my three cats. They are my happy place at the end of the day. When I'm not with my cats, I'm typically enjoying a theme park. Universal Studios, Magic Kingdom, Animal Kingdom, you name it, I try to be there.

Amalia Sirica

Licensed Therapist, LCSW

My approach as a therapist is to be gentle, compassionate, and patient. But at the same time, we want to get you better.

Christopher Leonard

Licensed Therapist, LMHC

I understand that your thoughts, triggers, or compulsions are all unique to you. I know it can be extremely hard to share them. I make a point to understand each person's particular experience as well as I possibly can. I believe that we can only improve the ERP work we do together. A little bit about me: I love all things music! I also enjoy going to the gym and trying new restaurants.

Sara Rosen

Licensed Therapist, MSW

I take a very kind and gentle approach to treating OCD. I am very supportive and nonjudgmental in session; I want to make people feel as comfortable as possible expressing their thoughts. I also like to use humor in my work when appropriate. Outside of work, you can find me with all of my pets. I have two beagles and a kitten. My husband is a veterinarian and is quick to bring home animals who need homes. Every once in a while, you might even see a pet make an appearance in a session!

Jenna Feuerstein

Licensed Therapist, LMHC

As an OCD therapist, I use person-centered approaches, empathy, acceptance, and kindness to build rapport with the people I support. I love supporting others in making huge changes in their lives and being one of their biggest cheerleaders in success. Outside of work, I'm a pretty big foodie. I love to try new things, even if I know there's a probability I won't like it. My current favorite food is ramen. I recently adopted a dog named Dakota, who loves all people—and loves to get all the treats he can.

Garren Gillum

Licensed Therapist, LMHC

My approach to therapy is systematic yet empathetic, with a focus on mindfulness and acceptance. I retain the optimism that change is always possible. Outside of work, I like to play Magic the Gathering with my friends, play with my 1-year-old child, journal my thoughts, go for short walks, and drink new kinds of tea.

Angela Knoeller

Licensed Therapist, LCSW-R

I'm an empathetic therapist who has compassion for each person’s experience. I also take a practical stance and reiterate how you can help yourself. I am there to guide and encourage. The mix of compassion and accountability is a helpful approach in treating OCD. When I'm not doing therapy, I love attending concerts as much as possible. Dancing and listening to live music (especially from the '80s and '90s) energize me. I also love taking walks in nature—I'm an avid bird watcher, and exercising outside just feels better.

Christopher Hall

Licensed Therapist, LMHC

I am an empathetic, warm, creative, and focused clinician. I love seeing members enter therapy unsure about the process and leave as their own therapist. Outside of work, I am currently completing a degree in theology and take street photographs in my free time.

Michele Anuszkiewicz

Licensed Therapist, LCSW

Although anyone diagnosed with OCD has met certain defined criteria, no two members are the same. Taking the time to really listen to what's causing each person's distress is essential to creating a treatment plan customized to the individual. My goal is for you to make the decisions that control your life, not your OCD. A fun fact about me: My travel goal is to visit all the islands in the Beach Boys song 'Kokomo'.

Erica Pardi

Licensed Therapist, MA

ERP is the gold standard, research-backed treatment for OCD. I have personal experience with the success of ERP. As a therapist, I strive to get to know you as a person and help you on your individual journey. Outside of work, I have two small children and a husband I love spending time with. We live on a 32-acre orchard and recently adopted two piglets, which keep us plenty busy.
