Gary Vandalfsen

Licensed Therapist, Psychologist

I’ve been practicing as a licensed therapist for over twenty five years. My main area of focus is OCD with specialized training in Exposure and Response Prevention therapy. I use ERP to treat people with all types of OCD themes, including aggressive, taboo, and a range of other unique types.

Kara Lash

Licensed Therapist, LPCC

During my time in private practice as a licensed therapist, a family member and a friend described their OCD struggles to me. Once I discovered how often OCD was being mistreated, and the more I learned from people facing this challenge, the more I wanted to help those in need. Now that I specialize in OCD, I use Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) therapy to treat anyone with this challenging disorder.

Kathryn Ciraolo

Licensed Therapist, LCSW

I've been a licensed clinical social worker with over 16 years of extensive experience, with much of my career working in a hospital setting where I saw many people with OCD (along with other issues such as trauma, depression, and anxiety). I also have a brother that suffers from OCD, and I’ve seen the impact OCD can have at home. People with OCD can make great progress in treatment when Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) is used. ERP is very focused because it can be tailored for any OCD subtype. I'm motivated to teach you how to manage your OCD so you can reach your highest level of independence.

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.

Ashley Ward

Licensed Therapist, LPCC

I have over 7 years of experience in the mental health space, treating people for OCD, anxiety, PTSD, and depression. I have a strong background in exposure work, commonly known as Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) therapy. ERP empowers you as you work in sessions so that you can learn how to sit with your fears and not rely on compulsions to address anxiety. It's the most effective form of treatment for OCD.

Bill Mills

Licensed Therapist, LMFT

I’ve been a mental health therapist and an addiction counselor for over 10 years, treating OCD as both the main symptom and as an underlying symptom of such issues as anxiety and depression. I have worked in a variety of environments, including inpatient and outpatient chemical dependency units. Additionally, I currently work in private practice as a mental health therapist seeing both individuals and families. I use Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) therapy to provide OCD treatment through live video sessions. ERP is incredibly effective in treating OCD, so I hope you will take the courageous step to get all of the benefits of this helpful therapy.

Mixi Lopez-Corbin

Licensed Therapist, LCSW

I’ve been practicing as a licensed therapist since 2014, and I now specialize in treating OCD. I have a mixed background of working in a hospital outpatient environment as well as working at a local school, where I also treated cases of ADHD, trauma, anxiety, and depression. I use Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) therapy when treating OCD because it’s a goal-oriented approach that’s proven to treat all OCD subtypes.

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.

Elizabeth Keating

Licensed Therapist, LMHC

I have over 15 years of licensed experience, specializing in OCD treatment with NOCD with a background in treating body-focused repetitive behavior. I’ve helped people overcome their anxiety and depression, with additional experience in crisis & trauma work, and have guided people dealing with ADHD, eating disorders, and so much more. To treat your OCD, I will use Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) therapy. One of my favorite things about ERP is how effective it is, and how quickly people can reduce the behaviors that lead to their anxiety.

Valencia Thomas

Licensed Therapist, MA

I come from a large family, and I’ve seen the stigma around mental illness. Caring for your mental health is just as important as going to the doctor to care for your high blood pressure, diabetes, or heart health. It's just the same.

Carol Dunning

Licensed Therapist, MSW

As a therapist, I’ll make sure you feel safe. You can trust me. I know it's really hard to talk about some of the stuff that goes on inside your mind. I also like to make therapy fun—and it can be a lot of fun when you're learning how to master your thoughts. When I'm not doing therapy, I have a couple of German shepherds that I like to go hiking with, and I love swimming.

Marie Albertson

Licensed Therapist, LPC

OCD and anxiety are related but different. My ability to empathize and be solution-focused work in both treatment cases. Outside of work, I love writing, art, and swimming.

Cheryl Lamin

Licensed Therapist, PhD

My approach to therapy is warm, non-judgmental, and collaborative. I think of myself as an empathic agent for positive change. I take a flexible approach and keep track of where my member is in the process. I'm sensitive to the needs of my members and pivot as necessary. When I am not geeking out over ERP, I love to dance, move in nature, bask in sunshine, and experience the crash of the ocean waves.
