Obsessive-Compulsive (OCD) Therapists in Kingsport, TN
I also have completed training through the International OCD Foundation (IOCD) in the use of Exposure and Response Prevention Therapy for adults and children, which is the gold standard for OCD treatment
I provide therapy to people from all walks of life and tailor counseling to each individual. I meet people right where they are to help them take steps towards the life they want. I believe that people who struggle with their thoughts and feelings are often just looking for a way to be the person they want to be and sometimes get lost along the way. They want to hold true to their personal values when making choices but have trouble finding a way forward. I believe that, through therapy, people can learn new and creative ways to respond to those thoughts and feelings so they can get back to living a life guided by their values.

What if you could not just heal from your trauma of the past and work through your current problems in life, but make for yourself a way of living that helps prevent future crises or tragedies from completely upending your life? Instead of just learning a bunch of coping skills to avoid tough topics and feelings that may keep you from growing at best, and actively make your depressive and anxiety symptoms elevated at worst, we dealt with the problem at hand and used the lessons learned to keep you from having to go to therapy, again, years later?

Life can feel overwhelming when you’re constantly battling anxiety, depression, or the lasting effects of trauma. The weight of expectations—at work, at home, or in relationships—can leave you feeling stuck, frustrated, or disconnected. If you’re navigating recovery from addiction or struggling with issues unique to men’s mental health, it’s easy to feel like no one understands what you’re going through. You don’t have to face these challenges alone, and it’s okay to seek support.

You may be feeling emotionally overwhelmed, stuck, or disconnected from yourself or others. Anxiety, low mood, intrusive thoughts, emotional reactivity, or major life changes may make it hard to feel grounded or hopeful. Many clients I work with are thoughtful and motivated, yet feel caught in patterns that no longer serve them emotionally, relationally, or physically. They want relief, clarity, and a more meaningful way forward that aligns with who they are and what truly matters.

At The Journey Center for Healing Arts, we are passionate about helping people move beyond their past and into a full, authentic life. Trauma affects us all at some level - surviving physical pain, emotional pain, or spiritual pain - and it can keep us from living the life we want. We want to see you thrive through your healing process instead of continuing to struggle with worry, overwhelm, anxiety, depression, grief, and unhealthy relationships.

My approach to therapy is to respect each individual as a whole person. I believe each person knows himself or herself best. Loss of jobs, relationships, chemical addiction, life transitions, trauma, abuse and the stress of day to day living come with an array of thoughts and emotions, which at some points in our lives can become overwhelming. We start to feel like nothing can get better, and begin to self-destruct or stay stuck, out of fear of the unknown or poor habits. I use an eclectic approach, pulling together different types of therapies tailored to what would be most beneficial to the particular client.

Most of my clients are recovering from traumatic past family dynamics. They want to work on anxiety, depression, PTSD, and healthy self-image. Many say they need to "find their voice." My work with couples focuses on attachment and trust issues, infidelity, and rebuilding empathetic, effective communication. My under-18 clients are normally working through issues surrounding increased autonomy, anxiety, depression, and grief, coping with parental separation and loss.

How long does OCD treatment take?
Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) is often treated on a weekly or twice-weekly schedule, depending on symptom severity and the client’s preferences. Some clients may start to see a noticeable improvement in symptoms in as little as six weeks, but it’s also possible, especially in more severe cases, for treatment to take several months to a year before significant progress is made.
What happens if OCD is not treated?
Some people with OCD, especially those with mild symptoms, may find that they are able to adapt reasonably well to life with the condition, even if their symptoms never resolve completely. However, many people, particularly those whose symptoms are severe at the outset, find that their obsessions and compulsions grow more intrusive with time, making it harder to maintain relationships, hold down a job, or navigate the world successfully.
Are there medications for OCD?
Medication can be used to treat OCD. The class of drugs most often prescribed are selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors, or SSRIs, which include fluvoxamine (under the brand name Luvox), fluoxetine (Prozac), and sertraline (Zoloft), among others. In cases of treatment-resistant OCD, other classes of medication, such as tricyclic antidepressants or atypical antipsychotics, may be prescribed. Medication is frequently used in conjunction with therapy.
Can OCD come back after treatment?
Yes. Major life transitions, periods of stress, or other factors can cause symptoms to return or, if they were never fully eradicated, to ramp back up in intensity. For some, these relapses are brief and do not require additional treatment; identifying specific triggers and practicing the skills learned in therapy can help speed their course. For others, returning to therapy for a brief period can help address the underlying stress and strengthen coping mechanisms.
