OCD Specialists in
Virginia Beach, Virginia

Teri Bullis

Licensed Therapist, BCBA

I’ve seen people with OCD improve within a fairly short amount of time using Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) therapy, but it does take work. With my help, you’ll see that the hard work pays off and will completely change your life. I've been a licensed psychologist since 1999. I have a Ph.D. in Clinical Psychology, am a board-certified behavior analyst, and have training in ERP therapy.

Steven Maurno

Licensed Therapist, LPC

I’ve been a practicing therapist for over 20 years, mostly in correctional facilities working with juveniles and adults. I’ve helped many people overcome adversity, and what I saw in clients with OCD is a lack of access to proper guidance. I want to make a difference in the lives of people with OCD by teaching them the skills they need to create positive change. That opportunity is available through Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) therapy, the gold standard treatment for OCD.

Stephaney Cooper

Licensed Therapist, LMFT

I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) with 10 years of experience working with individuals, couples, children and adolescents. I am a Certified Clinical Trauma Professional (CCTP) and have experience working in community mental health and outpatient therapy settings. Over the last year, I've had extensive training with OCD. I utilize evidence-based approaches and have been trained in Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP), which is the most evidenced based treatment for OCD.

Julie Vierling

Licensed Therapist, LISW

I deal with anxiety myself and know the physical symptoms that go along with it. But I also know my anxiety is nothing compared to your OCD. I've been treating people with OCD for over 25 years as a licensed therapist, and I can tell you that out of all the available treatments out there, Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) therapy is your best option. It's the only therapy I use to treat OCD.

Nicole McCutchan

Licensed Therapist, LCSW

My OCD became problematic over 30 years ago. I was diagnosed incorrectly, and struggled with OCD for a long time. This affected my relationships and work for years until I found treatment that actually helped me get better, which was Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) therapy. I quit my career in IT to become a specialized OCD therapist. I myself use ERP because I know from firsthand experience that it works.

Tracy Mowles

Licensed Therapist, LPC

I've been a licensed professional counselor since 2014, with a background in outpatient counseling. Dealing with families and individuals facing challenges associated with intrusive thoughts and anxiety has led me to NOCD. I can apply my techniques to help you put your OCD troubles behind you. Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) therapy has an excellent track record of success for treating OCD, helping NOCD members experience fewer compulsions and obsessions. Let's add you to the chain of NOCD success stories.

Kellie Kintz

Licensed Therapist, LCSW

I am a LCSW with over 30 years of clinical experience in the South Florida area working with clients diagnosed with OCD, Anxiety and other Mood Disorders, Personality Disorders, Trauma, Crisis, Dual Diagnosis, and Grief & Loss. I have worked in large teaching hospitals, inpatient and residential psychiatric units, IOPs, PHPs, OPs, private practices and hospices. At NOCD, our mission is to restore hope for people with OCD through better awareness and treatment. Our focus as a speciality-provider is on the NOCD 5 Diagnoses: OCD, Body Focused Repetitive Behaviors and Tics, Hoarding, Co-morbid to OCD Anxiety & Related Disorders.

I began my therapist career at a local hospital treating people for OCD, as well as other challenges such as anxiety and depression.

MaryBeth Overstreet

Licensed Therapist, LPC

I began my career working in school systems with behaviorally-challenged children and then moved into treating adults & families for severe mental health challenges. Treating OCD was always part of my caseload. I've even done face-to-face exposure work with some challenging disorders. My ability to treat any OCD subtype is enhanced by using Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP). ERP is evidence-based, which means the treatment is supported by both research and positive outcomes.

Mary Kay Rose

Licensed Therapist, LPC

I have over 15 years of practice in treating mental health, and now I specialize in OCD. I've worked in a community agency and mental health facilities where I've treated children as young as 3 and adults up to 90 years old. Most of my cases focused on trauma and substance abuse, in addition to OCD, and have taught me how to treat even the most troubling of mental health challenges. During our sessions, I'll use Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) therapy to treat you. ERP is proven to be effective against all OCD subtypes, so whatever challenge you're facing, I can help.

Monique Williamson

Licensed Therapist, LMFT

I've been a licensed therapist for over 8 years. During my career, I have treated many people for alcohol addiction and other challenges such as OCD. In alcohol addiction, people struggle with intrusive thoughts brought on by past events and worries. OCD has its similarities to the addiction world, which has prepared me to become a therapist specializing in OCD. During sessions, I use Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) therapy because it’s proven to work for any OCD subtype.

Stephanie Fidgeon

Licensed Therapist, LISW

I've held a private practice for over 15 years, treating cases of anxiety and depression and seeing OCD come up as an underlying symptom. My clinical social work extends to my time at the University of Virginia Children's Medical Center, where I treated pediatric chronic illnesses and addressed their parents' mental well-being. I now specialize in OCD and Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) therapy. Whatever subtype you're experiencing, I can help.

Barbara Zelop

Having used exposure techniques before arriving at NOCD, I can attest to its incredible effectiveness in helping people with OCD get better.

I’ve also spent a lot of time helping teens and emerging adults when they find themselves in need of care.

I think you’ll find ERP challenging but eventually rewarding for a lifetime.

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.

I like getting to know people and I value support and connection. I have a lot of experience working with people with anxiety and can relate to those feelings. Outside of work, I love spending time outdoors with my family. I like the quote, 'Nothing in nature is rushed, and yet everything occurs when it should.'

As a licensed therapist for over 3 years, I now specialize in helping people overcome OCD. My experience has been mostly gained working within intensive outpatient facilities and partial hospitalization programs designed for people battling mental health issues.

ERP is a solution-based approach focused on showing you how to accept your intrusive thoughts rather than rely on compulsion to address your anxiety.

Tamara Fagan

Licensed Therapist, LISW-CP

I have anxiety, so I know what that feels like. I've learned skills to cope with it, and now I can talk about it. We all have our issues, and we're all together in this.

Justin Trout

Starting when I was young, through some personal experiences, I have felt called to help people. I love seeing people overcome hills and valleys and by the end of therapy be able to say, "I feel better."

Agnes Carbrey

I have seen that mental health has been the most important issue in all of my personal relationships, and I have a passion for alleviating other people's suffering. When I discovered the tools of therapy myself, I wanted to share them.

Laken Schang

Licensed Therapist, LCSW

As a therapist, I like to be very open and organic, letting things flow in session. I want you to feel safe in talking about the struggles that you've dealt with. I like to be fun and upbeat, not always so serious.OCD is hard enough—when you can have a bit of fun and enjoy time with your therapist, it's a bonus. Some fun facts about me: I like to do adventurous activities outdoors, but my favorite thing to do in my free time is watching Korean dramas on TV.

Anna Newton

Licensed Therapist, LPC

As a therapist, I want you to be comfortable and feel cared for, to feel like you can talk to me like you're talking to a friend. I'm here for you. You're going to be okay, and you're in good hands. We're in this together. Some fun facts about me: I love animals and have two cats and two dogs. I was in the Air Force and once got a chance to go to Antarctica on a scientific mission.

Catherine Nakonetschny

Licensed Therapist, LCSW

For me, therapy is a journey. It's my privilege to walk with people and help them get to where they want to go. To me, this is a partnership. I don't lead my sessions. You lead our sessions, and I work as a guide. You are your own best expert on your life. When I'm not doing therapy, I have a lot of hobbies. I love to crochet, and I am an avid Winnie the Pooh fan.

Christine Vara

Licensed Therapist, LICSW

I try to bring an authentic experience to the people I work with. I aim to create a safe space. I like to laugh a lot, because that helps foster connection and normalize the process of therapy. When I'm not doing therapy, I enjoy practicing kickboxing and martial arts, and my guilty pleasure is watching the Bachelor franchise.
