Obsessive-Compulsive (OCD) Therapists in Bonner County, ID

It is tough times right now! People are struggling. I am here to give you the tools to feel better and to heal whatever you have gone through. I help people work through addiction recovery, anxiety, depression and difficult relationships. Having a strength-based approach that focuses on wellness and getting unstuck from repeating cycles is the approach I take. I work with anxiety, OCD, depression, addiction (alcohol, sexual, drug, spending, overeating, and work). I also work with chronic pain issues from a place of helping people express emotion. I do both in person and teleconferencing counseling at this time.

I specialize in Obsessive Compulsive Disorder, especially when the themes of intrusive thoughts are of a taboo and/or sexual nature. Feel terrified by thoughts of hurting people, accidentally or on purpose? Sexual crimes? Sexual orientation? Incest? Sacrilege? I can help. I promise, I don't judge and I understand what your OCD has been putting you through.

Tricia O'Connor provides individuals seeking therapy in Idaho and Utah a safe, nonjudgmental space to unpack and process life's events. She has completed training in emotionally focused individual therapy (EFIT), cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and Narrative Therapy.

I love working with clients who are ready for change! Being sick and tired of being sick and tired is the greatest motivation, because it comes from within and propels you towards a better way of being. I feel so honored to be a part of my clients' journey's towards becoming who they've always wanted to, sometimes in unexpected ways!

I have experience working with people of all ages with a diverse range of backgrounds. I am excited to provide services to individuals, families, and couples dealing with stress, anxiety, substance use disorders, depression, life changes, and trauma among other issues. I have worked in a variety of human service positions for more than 14 years helping children, youth, and families. I approach counseling from a whole-person health perspective which focuses on everyone’s unique needs.

Whether you are suffering from symptoms of depression and anxiety, having difficulty managing emotions, feeling inadequate, have unresolved trauma or simply want to feel more satisfied with your life and relationships, I am ready to help you. I work with adults and adolescents, individually, in a psychodynamic group format, or both.

I have been providing counseling services to individuals, couples, and families for over 12 years and licensed as a Professional Counselor and Marriage and Family Therapist since 2014. I completed a Master's Degree in Couples and Family Counseling from the College of William and Mary in 2012 and have an array of clinically intensive experiences. As appropriate, I work collaboratively with community providers and support systems to provide a holistic model of care. I specialize in working with individuals struggling with various forms of depression, anxiety, trauma, grief/loss, behavioral difficulties, and complex family dynamics.

I enjoy working with children, adolescents and young adults but will work with most any person. I really enjoy working with people who are willing to take on some out-of-session work and return with insights or at least insight about what's not working. I see my job as helping to remove barriers to the experience of feeling whole, safe and complete and I have many tools to help remove those barriers. Our job will be to find the Centered Self and learn ways to return to that Self more often during the day as we can.

I have deep respect for all of my patients. Therapy involves change, openness, and willingness, and is a personal investment. For these reasons, I believe that the treatment you receive should be effective, and I use a blend of established research and your personal goals to ensure that it is.

I am a Marriage and Family Therapist, licensed by the Idaho Department of Occupational Licensing. I have been in private practice since 2012. My passion is the restoration of the marriage relationship, even when it may seem that all is lost (especially as it relates to infidelity and trust). I am well-versed in the treatment of most mental health issues (especially depression and anxiety). I also am now providing EMDR therapy.
