Thelma Leticia Rivera

Licensed Therapist, LCSW

I’ve been practicing as a licensed therapist since 2005. 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.

Bonnie Grossman

Licensed Therapist, LPC

I’ve been working since 2002, and as a licensed therapist, I'm amazed at how fast people with OCD can feel changes by using the right guidance and techniques. I've worked with different OCD subtypes, and I've seen that people implementing Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) therapy bring amazing results even in severe cases. I enjoy seeing people grow from treatment. It makes my job incredibly satisfying.

Noelle Rodgers

Licensed Therapist, LPC

I’ve struggled with OCD myself and learned how to manage it, so I understand what it’s like. I know how OCD makes life difficult, and more importantly, how to successfully treat it. That’s what motivates me to help others with OCD. I’ve been practicing as a licensed therapist since 2014, and gained specialized training in Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) therapy to ensure I help people with OCD in the best possible way.

George Polke

Licensed Therapist, LCPC

My early training in how to treat OCD was led by Dr. Patrick McGrath himself. I’m a firm believer in Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) therapy because I’ve seen how well it works. You'll be asked to face your fears during our ERP sessions, and will need someone qualified like myself to help you overcome those fears. Participate in ERP therapy with me, learn the tools that will help you manage your OCD, and you’ll soon be on the road to getting the results you want.

Christopher Straface

Licensed Therapist, MA

I’ve been a licensed therapist since 2011, and now specialize in treating OCD. Beyond my formal education, I have received training in ERP and have helped children, teens, and adults with OCD as well as depression & anxiety. As a therapist, I love helping people overcome their OCD so that they can enjoy a better quality of life. You can accomplish that using Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) therapy.

Teda Kokoneshi

Licensed Therapist, LMHC

As a therapist that specializes in OCD, I can help you reach your goal of putting your OCD troubles behind you. Before joining NOCD, I spent my career treating severe anxiety and trauma cases, working within community health and hospital environments. I know how debilitating OCD can be, so I'm happy to make Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) therapy available to you in my sessions. ERP is proven to work for all subtypes and is considered the gold standard of OCD treatment.

Lynda Flatt

Licensed Therapist, LPC

I'm going on 10 years of service to those facing mental health challenges. I helped people with OCD turn their life around while working in the psychiatric field, but with NOCD, I work as an OCD specialist. I use Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) to help those that need treatment for any OCD subtype, and I can teach you how to manage your symptoms so you can put your OCD frustrations behind you.

Kenneth Hosier

Licensed Therapist, LMHC

I’ve been licensed as a counselor since 2000. In addition to working with NCOD, I run a private practice where I work a lot with anxiety cases, trauma, and other disorders. In reflection, I feel like my career has led me to become specialized in OCD treatment. I’ve heard many personal stories and challenges that have trained me to deal with all OCD subtypes. I use Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) therapy to treat OCD because of its proven ability to work.

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.

Robert Williamson

Licensed Therapist, LPC

I’ve worked as a counselor and therapist for over 5 years, and now I specialize in treating OCD. Before coming on board at NOCD, I helped people with OCD get their lives back. I’ll use Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) therapy to treat your OCD. ERP is considered the gold standard of OCD treatment for a reason - it’s proven to be effective in treating any subtype.

Shawna Ecklind

Licensed Therapist, LMFT

I’m specialized in treating OCD with training from leading clinicians at NOCD. My experience ranges from treating depression, anxiety, and complex trauma in a variety of environments. I’m a huge fan of evidence-based treatments, such as Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) therapy. ERP is extensively researched and shown to be incredibly effective for OCD treatment. Having worked in the foster care system, I can treat adults as well as ages 14 years old and up.

Mayra Nieto

Licensed Therapist, LPC

I’ve been a licensed therapist since 2013, and with extensive training from NCOD, I now specialize in treating every OCD subtype. During sessions, I will use Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) therapy to build your confidence so you can perform exercises when OCD strikes. But first, I’ll show you how to overcome your fears and obsessions. ERP has a proven record of success and can help you get your life back.

Courtney Holbrook

Licensed Therapist, LCSW

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.

Brittany Stevens

Licensed Therapist, LMFT

As a therapist, I emphasize collaboration and our relationship. In all therapy, the relationship between therapist and member is fundamental, but I think it's even more important in ERP, because we talk about stuff that's really hard, sit in the shame that might come up, and navigate that together. I like to add a touch of humor when it's appropriate—I think striking the right balance between light and difficult is important. Outside of work, I love to perform in a local theater. Musicals are my thing.

Lilyvette Perez

Licensed Therapist, LMHC

My approach is focused on helping individuals better understand and work through uncomfortable feelings in a safe environment. We are all unique, and the ways we cope can be learned and unlearned. Sometimes we just need a bit of guidance. Outside of work, I love nature and spending time outdoors. I spend a lot of my free time learning, hiking, going to the beach, and exercising.

Alyssa Lentz

Licensed Therapist, MS

I practice what I preach. I'm very open with the people I work with about what we're doing and what my experience with OCD has been. I like to make sure members guide the session as much as they can, and I like to incorporate humor as much as possible to lighten the mood. Outside of work, I like hanging out with my dogs Miko and Flick. A random fun fact about me: My two-year-old child was born in a Texas snowstorm.

Ashly Huffstatler

Licensed Therapist, LCSW

My approach to treating OCD is 'Members first.' You are the expert on your OCD. We will work as partners in treatment. I will help guide, but you are in charge. My style is direct and compassionate. Outside of work, I love all things Disney, Star Wars, Star Trek, and Harry Potter. I am an avid reader and a big animal lover: I have a cocker spaniel named Kyle. I enjoy doing yoga and at-home boxing. I also enjoy traveling and trying new experiences, even when they make me nervous. I'm living the ERP life, just like you!

Brian Lann

Licensed Therapist, MA

I approach treating OCD with compassion and thoughtful application of ERP. For me, seeing people improve the overall quality of their lives is the most gratifying part of being a therapist. Outside of work, I am an avid chess player, love classical jazz and enjoy spending time with my family.

Roshunda Hartison

Licensed Therapist, M.Ed.

As an OCD therapist, I strive to create a safe, nonjudgmental, and intentional space. Outside of work, I enjoy all things music and fine arts (including singing), reading, traveling, making others smile or laugh, cooking, and watching cooking shows. Most recently I’m focused on working with a trainer to achieve health goals.

Danielle White

Licensed Therapist, M.Ed.

As an OCD therapist, I will meet you where you are and help you meet your goals. Outside of work, I enjoy working out, reading different romance novels, binge-watching 'ratchet' TV, spending time with family and friends, and traveling.

Toni Sands

Licensed Therapist, M.Ed.

My approach to OCD therapy is person-centered. I work to build a therapeutic alliance and create a safe environment where you can share, without judgment, what brings you to NOCD. When I'm not working, I enjoy being active, whether it’s outside in nature or at the gym. I also love spending time with my significant other and our three pets, eating great food, and being cozy at home with some movies or shows.

Raven Alston

Licensed Therapist, LCSW

As an OCD therapist, I see myself as your sidekick of change, helping kick OCD’s butt one session at a time. The most gratifying part of my job is seeing the first sign of relief, when the person I’m helping can finally see light at the end of the tunnel. When I'm not doing therapy, I love to travel and watch all the Housewives shows.

Shelley Smith

Licensed Therapist, LPC

I'm a very open therapist who focuses on building a supportive relationship with the people I work with. My favorite part of therapy is establishing trust—that's when the best progress occurs. Outside of work, I absolutely love spending time with my family and pets. We love traveling to different parts of the country and learning about different cultures. I also enjoy gardening and being outside.

Carletta Nance

Licensed Therapist, MA

In treating OCD, I am committed, patient, and encouraging throughout the process. I tell everyone who comes to therapy that this can be hard, but it's worth it. Nothing comes easy. Therapy is about committing to work on yourself so you can have a better quality of life. Some facts about me: I am a cancer survivor, the oldest of six siblings, a big fan of yoga and meditation, and I love adrenaline and adventure. You name it, and I probably have done it or will do it!

Adonna Weaver

Licensed Therapist, M.Ed

My approach to treating OCD with ERP (exposure response prevention) is grounded in collaboration, compassion, and evidence-based techniques. I work closely with individuals to develop a comprehensive understanding of their specific OCD symptoms and triggers. Together, we create a customized treatment plan that involves gradually exposing the person to feared thoughts or situations while refraining from engaging in compulsions, ultimately helping them build resilience and reduce anxiety over time. Outside of work, I find pleasure in community service, watching suspenseful and action-packed movies, listening to audiobooks, and nurturing connections with friends and family.

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.

Rita Blackwell

Licensed Therapist, MSW

As an OCD therapist, I am non-judgemental, understanding, and patient. I create a space for transparency and demonstrate empathy in every session. When I'm not doing therapy, I love to travel, explore different places, and try new foods. I enjoy spending time with my husband, children, and huge family, and playing with my miniature schnauzers.

Angela Dickerson

Licensed Therapist, MED

My approach to treating OCD is collaborative. You are the specialist when it comes to your experience with OCD; I am the trained specialist in treating OCD. Together we will work from our areas of specialty to overcome your OCD. When I’m not working, I enjoy having movie nights with my dog Cody and playing online video games. A fun fact about me: I make some of the best homemade ice cream.

Deirdre James

Licensed Therapist, MS

My approach to treating OCD is to meet you where you are and collaborate to create appropriate exposures while challenging you to continue moving forward. I understand that each person is unique and makes every effort to create individualized treatment plans. I provide empathy, compassion, and a non-judgmental approach. Outside of work, I enjoy reading, baking, playing with my dog, and spending time with my family.

Delliah Adesanya

Licensed Therapist, MSW

My approach to treating OCD is action-based while building skills in mindfulness and acceptance. I find it rewarding to connect with individuals on a human level by normalizing negative emotions and experiences (as we all have) through therapy. Outside of work, I enjoy fitness activities such as outdoor running and strength training, which I incorporate in my routine daily. I also enjoy spending time with my family, reading, and socializing with friends.
