Hello! My name is Kara Lash. With over 10 years of experience as a therapist, I have specialized in treating OCD and Anxiety-Related Conditions since 2020. I consistently pursue advanced training opportunities to provide the most effective, up-to-date treatment methods. I enjoy collaborating with clients and building a strong, trusting rapport is important to me. I use a compassionate and non-judgmental approach, recognizing the deep impact mental health has on your quality of life. Psychoeducation is crucial to the process, so you can clearly understand how your rituals, compulsions, and behaviors influence your daily symptoms.
I use evidence-based treatments, including Exposure Response Prevention (ERP) and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and incorporate aspects of Behavioral Activation and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT).
My goal is to help individuals live in alignment with their personal goals and values while empowering them to better understand and manage their mental health. Please do not hesitate to reach out with any concerns or questions about getting started with treatment!

I work with clients struggling with OCD and anxiety related conditions. I provide a free consult call to answer questions. I use the first two therapy sessions to get to know you, better understand what you have been experiencing, and assess. Together we form a plan for treatment so you can feel and function better. We will do ERP in session together. Most clients notice improvements in 4 weeks.
