OCD & Hoarding I bring PhD-level research expertise to my work with OCD and hoarding. These conditions can be often misunderstood—OCD is more than just being "neat," and hoarding is about much more than clutter.

Nathan Becker (he/him)

OCD can be a lonely, exhausting loop; obsessions you don’t want, compulsions you feel you can’t resist, and a cycle that steals your time, energy, and confidence. You may wonder if anyone really gets it. I do. Together, we’ll use Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) to help you face the fear, break the patterns, and reclaim your freedom.

Jeri Parks (none; Jeri/Jeri's)

Professional Counselor Associate

Instead of tolerating uncertainty, I-CBT treatment for OCD focuses on recognizing when the mind is constructing a narrative rather than perceiving reality. For those of us who have spent years questioning our own experience, this approach can be clarifying and freeing. OCD targets identity—what you might be capable of, who you might really be. I will support your process without judgment, and with the understanding that the content of obsessions reflects OCD itself, rather than you as a person.

April Slabosheski (she/her)

Professional Counselor Associate

MS, NCC

I’m trained in Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP), a framework we can use in therapy to help you gradually tolerate anxiety, fear, and discomfort, helping you feel more present and engaged in your life. I also love using assessment tools to support you in better understanding the ways OCD and anxiety may be affecting your life.

At Rebellious W.E. Therapy, we provide services by a trained clinician who recognizes both classic and lesser‑known OCD presentations, including Relationship OCD (ROCD), Retroactive Jealousy (RJ), and Purely Obsessive OCD (aka Pure O). Our assessments help clients understand the difference between OCD, anxiety, and trauma‑driven rumination. We provide a shame‑free, highly attuned evaluation process that honors the nuance of OCD in adults who were never screened or never screened properly.

Sessy De La Cruz (she/her)

Clinical Social Work Associate

As someone who also lives with OCD, I know how relentless and convincing it can be. OCD has a way of making the impossible feel necessary, trapping you in exhausting cycles of doubt, fear, and compulsions. I also know that recovery is possible. Using Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP), we'll work together to face OCD with curiosity instead of fear, so you can spend less time listening to OCD and more time living the life you want.

Dr. Rachel Marsh (she/her)

Licensed Psychologist

Ph.D. in Clinical Psychology; M.A. in Clinical Psychology

OCD is one of the most misunderstood and most treatable conditions in mental health. It is a mind that generates doubt and demands certainty, often around what you care about most. I work with patients to understand the OCD cycle, reduce the grip of compulsions, and build a life no longer organized around avoiding fear, utilizing ACT and ERP together, grounded in your values. I hold deep respect for how exhausting this condition is to live with, and remain actively involved with the IOCDF.

Justine Lockhart (She/her)

Licensed Professional Counselor

LPC, MS

I help clients with OCD through using Exposure and Response Prevention and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to challenge fears and obsessions, reduce compulsions, and find acceptance of uncertainty. These approaches invite you to lean into your fears (even though this is uncomfortable) through engaging in exposures where you face your fears, resist engaging in compulsive behaviors, and practice sitting with uncertainty.

Cory Anton

Licensed Professional Counselor

I am BTTI (Behavior Therapy Training Institute) certified to treat OCD. This includes a combination of using Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) therapy, which is the gold standard treatment for OCD. ERP helps you to build tolerance to the feelings of anxiety and panic that can occur.

Lisette Heidtke (She/Her)

Licensed Professional Counselor

MA, LPC

OCD can be a pervasive and long battle. I work with clients to gain awareness of their inner world then develop tools to push back against the bully in their mind. Exposure Response Prevention and self-compassion are an important part of this work.

I am excited to share that I am currently in the process of completing specialized for OCD! I will soon offer a speciality in OCD-- utilizing ERP (exposure and response prevention) and I-CBT, two effective and evidence-based treatment modalities for OCD.

Katie Playfair (she/her)

Licensed Professional Counselor

LPC (OR) LMHC (WA)

OCD includes Illness Anxiety Disorder/Health Anxiety/hypochondriasis, obsessions, compulsions, skin and hair picking, and some other types of more severe anxiety you might not know are in the OCD cluster. This is one area where I've done a lot of specialized training. I use neurodiversity-affirming Acceptance and Commitment Therapy + Exposure and Response Prevention for most clients with OCD and related disorders. e

Katie Clark, LMHC, LPC (she/her)

Methods of treatment used are evidence-based, supported by research, and by the American Psychological Association (APA). Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, and Exposure and Response Prevention are the most scientifically supported methods of treating OCD, so are the main methods I use in working with clients.

Emily Kittelson

Licensed Professional Counselor

MS, LPC

I am trained in providing Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) Therapy for Obsessive Compulsive Disorder. I have also worked with clients who have OCD using an Acceptance and Commitment Therapy approach. For some people a combination of these two techniques seems to be most helpful.

Jennie Jergerian (She/Her/Hers)

Licensed Professional Counselor

PsyD

I draw from person-centered care, treating anxiety through mindfulness-based therapy, and evidence-based approaches including Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) for Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD).

Lynne Coon

Licensed Professional Counselor

LPC

I sought additional training in Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) therapy for Obsessive Compulsive Disorder. While Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is the standard for treating OCD, traditional talk therapy doesn't work. Someone with OCD can understand their thoughts logically don't make sense but that doesn't stop the obsessions. ERP along CBT works!

Erik Lee (he/him)

Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner

PMHNP-BC

I provide diagnostic evaluations and medication management for adults with obsessive compulsive disorder, or who suspect they may have OCD.

Jessica Lynn (She/Her)

Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner

PMHNP-BC

ERP (exposure and response prevention) is used in a compassionate and collaborative way with clients. The first several sessions involve psychoeducation, identifying triggers, intrusive thoughts/urges/images, and compulsions or safety behaviors (ie: avoidance) that allow the OCD or anxiety to persist. Exposures are planned collaboratively, beginning with lower-anxiety producing triggers while resisting compulsions and safety behaviors. Medication management is also offered.

Josh Clark (he/him)

Clinical Psychologist

PhD, ABPP-CN

You may feel trapped by nagging and intrusive thoughts that you feel have no “off-button.” Or, you may feel compelled to engage in certain behaviors to a point where they impede on your quality of life. Have hope. Obsessive thinking and behaviors are very treatable. I help my clients understand their symptoms and unlock the door to an easier, more comfortable way of existing.

Kelly Grover (she/her)

Licensed Professional Counselor

I have completed training through IOCDF and have worked with many individuals to help address obsessive and compulsive patterns. I primarily utilize ACT and ERP while working to address symptoms of OCD.

Melanie Ahlf (she/her)

Licensed Professional Counselor

LPC, MA

I have extensive training and experience in utilizing ERP (exposure and response prevention), which is an evidence based treatment for OCD. I believe that it's crucial to have a confident clinician guide you through exposure work. Psychoeducation is an extremely important aspect of this treatment so that you feel empowered by the knowledge/understanding of WHY you're doing this work.

Jenny Labrousse

Licensed Professional Counselor

Do you experience unwanted thoughts, urges, or images? OCD can be debilitating. I specialize in helping individuals overcome this stubborn disorder. I utilize evidence-based Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) to help individuals overcome OCD.
