Obsessive-Compulsive (OCD) Therapists in Herington, KS

Embracing the journey of self-discovery and growth is at the core of my therapeutic approach. Together, we can redefine and realign the resources and tools necessary for your unique path. With a background in Counseling and a Master’s in Marriage and Family Therapy, I specialize in guiding individuals, couples, and families through challenges.

The people I see want to enjoy their lives and respond with confidence to what's happening in their lives. Enjoying life is a consequence of seeing ourselves and our life as consistent with who and how we want to be. Anxiety and depression are common human experiences that easily distract us from healthy, helpful ways of being. I'm a licensed psychologist in Lawrence and I see individual adults with anxiety, depression, substance use, OCD, and chronic health conditions (including chronic pain). I also see individuals living successful lives who would like to experience a more rewarding life with less stress. I am an LGBTQIA+ ally.

Anxiety & OCD take many forms. A fear of contamination, discomfort when something is out of order, distress that you might act on a harming/sexual thought, fear that you are a bad person or will be punished by a higher being, blasphemous thoughts that shake your faith, or fears you are responsible for something bad happening. Anxiety can look like worries about the future, fear of embarrassment, health anxiety, panic attacks, hair pulling and skin picking, or wondering if you're good enough. If any of this sounds familiar, my practice may be a good fit for you, as I specialize in the treatment of anxiety disorders, OCD, and BFRBs.

We can overcome what holds us back. Overcoming OCD and other personal challenges led me into the counseling field, and my commitment is to help you develop and implement your own unique process of renovation, healing, and change. While reaching out for help may be difficult and create feelings of vulnerability, it is often the necessary first step on one of life's most important journeys--the journey of uncovering and maximizing your potential. Based on personal experience, I believe that the rewards are likely to exceed the feelings of risk.

If you are living with anxiety, panic, social anxiety, depression, OCD or having difficulty making changes with unhealthy lifestyle choices that effect your health and wellbeing. I can provide individual counseling support. I am confident that together we can improve your quality of life. I have been trained in several evidence-based counseling therapies and can offer the optimal counseling based on your individual needs.

I am dedicated to helping individuals and families restore hope and healing back into their lives. My therapeutic approach is tailored to you. I will use complementary techniques that will assist you in regaining positive aspects back into your life. I am honored to help you reach your goals and look forward to working with you.

If you're experiencing symptoms of depression, anxiety, OCD, stress, self-confidence issues, or struggling to find self-acceptance, know that you don't have to navigate this alone. I help individuals ages 12-28 work through life's challenges using humor (dark humor, anyone?), curiosity, and empathy. Online therapy/telehealth sessions with me can provide the space you need to explore these difficulties and find a path forward in the comfort of your own home. I have immediate availability as of April 2024.

To be human is to...struggle! I have the utmost respect for anyone who has the courage to look at themselves and realize change is needed. That is half the battle and I like to think of the therapy relationship as a team effort that helps you move forward to your goals. I am dedicated to helping people move out of their ruts and see that there is a more satisfying way to live. Individual(adult and adolescent), couple counseling and family therapy are all within my specialty areas with focus on interpersonal r-ships, CBT and mindfulness techniques.

Trained in CBT and hypnotherapy, I love helping people find their peace. Are you looking for treatment for anxiety, OCD, a phobia, or another panic-related disorder? Anxiety can feel awful. I help my clients find ways of feeling more relaxed, accepting and peaceful. I treat both men and women, adolescents to older adults and couples. Because I work in a college town, I see many students and professors and have become keenly aware of the unique stressors of life in academia though I enjoy treating individuals from all walks of life.

I am a clinical psychologist with post doctoral training from Stanford/UCSF and the Menninger Clinic. I have been licensed as a psychologist for 23 years and my training prior to being licensed spanned 10 years. As a therapist I offer an increased sense of safety and structure in reflecting on feelings. In this environment one relaxes and new perspectives emerge -as well as an increased ability to trust and find solutions within one's self. I am both a patient listener as well as an active and engaged clinician who offers personal insights and feedback.

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.

Living with symptoms of stress, anxiety, or OCD can feel challenging and overwhelming. You may notice yourself reviewing past situations or worrying about the future. Perhaps you deal with fears about situations or events that prevent you from experiencing life to the fullest. You might engage in compulsive behaviors in an effort to alleviate stress related to intrusive thoughts. Skin picking and hair pulling (and other Body-Focused Repetitive Behaviors) can also be associated with anxiety. Often these behaviors have been used for long periods of time and can feel very difficult to stop.

My passion is helping others navigate difficult times because sometimes life’s hurdles seem too big to conquer alone. As a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC), I provide therapy for teens (14+) and adults using a person-centered approach that incorporates a variety of techniques to meet the needs of each client.

If you are seeking a safe, non-judgmental, and welcoming space to process life challenges, please give me a call. I look forward to working with you.

Have you been feeling overwhelmed, burnt out, and/or frequently stressed? Are you ready to gain more awareness surrounding old, unhelpful patterns? Therapy may not only help with the improvement of mental, but physical health as well. I would love to help you achieve better overall wellness. I am a licensed clinical psychologist who works with adults (18+) and I primarily practice from a cognitive behavioral perspective. I also incorporate mindfulness techniques and deep breathing to help facilitate growth and progress in therapy. I offer teletherapy in numerous states and in-person therapy in Tucson, Arizona.

As a licensed therapist I have been practicing for over 20 years. I love my job and I love helping people.

If I can serve you, please give me a call today.

Asking for help can be scary. It is my goal to normalize mental health struggles and seeking an outside perspective to learn and grow. I also believe that the understanding of oppression is an important part of therapy and recovery is a social justice issue. I'm a Licensed Specialist Clinical Social Worker and Licensed Clinical Addiction Counselor. I have been in the field for over 16 years. I aim to help you explore your own strengths and problem-solving strategies. I serve as a non-judgmental sounding board to help you explore things you would like to change. My goal is to work myself out of a job so you can get on with your life.

I have been successfully treating children, adults, and marriage issues for over twenty years. My passion is working with children helping them develop to the highest potential possible.

I have a passion for working with all clients towards living a more authentic, enjoyable life. I believe that each person has a unique experience and therapy must be customized to meet those individualized needs. I work to create and hold a safe space for my clients that is non-judgmental, hopeful and encouraging.
