Trusted OCD Specialists in
Texas

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

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.

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.

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.

ERP is proven to work for all subtypes and is considered the gold standard of OCD treatment.

Lynda Flatt

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.

Courtney Holbrook

Licensed Therapist, Ph.D.

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.

Jason Gibbs

As a therapist, I try to create a welcoming, warm environment. When I first meet with someone, I like to start off by finding out what they want to get out of therapy. I'll craft a treatment plan with you based on that, realizing that other concerns can arise on a week-to-week basis. Outside of work, I'm a big fan of rock and metal music and love going to concerts. I also have three sugar gliders that I've had for about seven years. They are miniature flying squirrels, basically. So during our sessions, if there's ever any weird chirping that comes through a wall in the background, that's probably what you're hearing.

Jessica Palmer

As a therapist, I am centered on you. I want to understand the specific things you're going through, so we can work through them together. I take a kind but firm approach. I'll acknowledge that things are going to be difficult, but at the same time, that I have confidence you can do it. Fun facts about me: I was a collegiate athlete and have played volleyball pretty much my whole life. Outside of work, I love sporting events, being active, and hanging out with my dogs.

Alyssa Lentz

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

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, M.Ed.

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

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.

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

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.

Carletta Nance

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!

Stephanie Beckner

My approach to treating OCD is to provide a warm, non-judgmental, encouraging space to help you understand your symptoms and to work toward your goals, step by step. I will be your teammate, coach, and cheerleader as we navigate the path to greater relief from your OCD. Outside of work, I love to explore Austin with my puppy, Bowie, who is learning to swim. I am a certified yoga teacher and enjoy baking and trying new recipes.

Angela Dickerson

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.

A fun fact about me: I make some of the best homemade ice cream.

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.

Cindy Garcia-Noonis

Licensed Therapist, LMFT

In ERP, one of the most effective forms of treatment for OCD, we'll work together to identify your specific triggers, obsessive thoughts and behaviors, then I'll guide you through techniques to face your fears gradually. I'll work with you to develop skills to tolerate distress and uncertainty without attempting to get rid of anxiety through compulsions. When I'm not working, my favorite hobby is traveling. I love experiencing new cultures, learning about people, eating new foods and taking photos.

Austin Daron

I treat OCD with Exposure and Response Prevention therapy (ERP). This approach involves gradually exposing members to feared or triggering situations or thoughts while refraining from the compulsive behaviors they usually perform to reduce anxiety. The goal is to help members confront their fears and learn that anxiety naturally decreases over time without engaging in compulsions. This process helps break the cycle of obsession and compulsion, ultimately reducing the overall impact of OCD on their lives. A fun fact about me: I love playing Dungeons and Dragons with friends. Beyond that, I love all things entertainment, including movies, TV shows, and video games. I'm a proud parent to two medium-haired black cats that my partner and I rescued when they were just four weeks old.

Kiki Tilton

I love NOCD's treatment model. It gives you the ability to start treatment with increased frequency, which can make it intense. However, this is the best time to be focused and motivated and create the change you desire for yourself. As you learn how to tolerate discomfort, lean into those feelings, and make strides toward improvement, an "a-ha" moment occurs. You realize you are not your OCD—you are not your thoughts, and you can tolerate them. Some facts about me: My Christian faith is very important to me. I love working with people from all around the world; the diversity is such a joy to experience. I am bilingual and speak fluent Dutch and English. I was raised in the Netherlands (as a Dutch Navy brat) and have lived in the U.S. and the Netherlands for half my life. I am a cat lover to the core, and I appreciate sarcastic humor.

Krystal Wurm

As your OCD therapist, I'll provide a non-judgmental space where you can speak freely. I have been diagnosed with OCD, and I understand intrusive thoughts and the compulsions that can follow.

Wilda Rodriguez-Barnett

Licensed Therapist, MSW

In our sessions, I'll listen to you closely, and we'll target the issues and areas we need to work on so you can function at your optimum level. Outside of work, I love to travel, listen to music and go dancing. I have a great sense of humor and a dog that I love; she's a shih-tzu named Bella.

Chelsea Strand

I approach OCD like any other mental health disorder. I know you're struggling. Our main goal is to work on making you feel better and able to manage your day-to-day life while living with OCD. Outside of work, I enjoy watching movies, reading, and spending time with my family.

Ashley Kasperski

As a therapist, I'm direct and solution-centered. I challenge my members therapeutically—which can be a love/hate relationship at times—but is often rewarding. I love working with individuals and seeing how far they've come. I live on the coast of Texas and enjoy fishing, boat riding, and anything that has to do with the outdoors. Over the last few years, nature has been an element in my own healing journey. It's something I incorporate when giving myself self-care.

Chris Clark

My approach to OCD treatment is caring, methodical, and persistent. Above all, I strive to create a caring atmosphere and sense of ease. I want you to feel comfortable discussing even the most difficult aspects of your experiences. I take a thorough approach to treatment, considering every relevant factor when creating treatment plans. If my members experience difficulties or setbacks, I always try to help them work through things, not letting them become discouraged or lose hope in their ability to better their lives. Outside of work, my hobbies include going to concerts, playing video games, and playing pen-and-paper role-playing games.

Cassie Samuelson

I utilize exposure and response prevention to treat OCD, working to confront and sit with those obsessions, tolerate the distress it brings, and resist any compulsive or automatic behaviors that come after. This behavioral practice comes with rooted reminders that OCD goes against who we are. I'm here to help you stay grounded in yourself and values as you do the hard work of ERP. Outside of work, I'm an avid reader (fantasy and thrillers and memoirs, oh my!) and love spending time with my book club. My spouse and I spend lots of time outside with our two dogs, playing board or video games with our best friends, and building LEGOs. Is coffee involved? I'll be there.

Ruthie Hagin

As a therapist, I bring perspective, understanding, compassion, and the ability to collaborate with individuals wherever they are in their journey. A fun fact about me: There are five love languages, based on Gary Chapman's book; however, I've discovered a sixth one for me—excessive use of emojis. 🤣😂🤣. For whatever reason, it just seems to make me smile and brings a lot of joy!

Hollie Spinn

Licensed Therapist, MSW

I approach treating OCD by creating an environment of encouragement, trust, and collaboration. If it's your jam, I’m a huge fan of using humor in sessions when appropriate. Outside of work, I love to travel and visit national parks. I plan to travel to every national park in the United States. When I'm not traveling, I enjoy spending time outside with my dog, listening to music, and going to comedy shows with my husband.

Kenya Foster

I approach therapy with genuine concern for your well-being. I'm a patient, empathetic, and structured therapist who is an effective listener. Outside of work, I love spending time at the beach with my family, looking at how the wind interacts with the water to make beautiful waves. I enjoy reading and learning new things in hopes of sharing the knowledge. I absolutely love animals and creating art projects. My new interest is pottery.

Nida Pirani

As your OCD therapist, I'll build rapport with you, learn as much as I can about your symptoms, then come up with a treatment plan. Outside of work, I'm the mom of a 9-year-old. She is my pride and joy. I love hanging out with my daughter, going to the movies with her, shopping, and hosting parties for her friends. My hobbies are traveling, hanging out with friends and family, and going to game nights.
