Obsessive-Compulsive (OCD) Therapists in Golden Valley, MN

You are the pilot in your life journey and deserve to be and feel respected and supported; which I pride myself on in my practice. I individualize all of my work and tailor it to your needs. I specialize in treating anxiety, depression, phobias, ARFID, OCD, Emetophoia, and panic disorders. I am trained in ERP (Exposure and Response Prevention), which is the leading treatment for anxiety, panic, OCD, and other disorders that benefit from ERP therapy. I also have training in executive functioning and adult ADHD treatment.

Are you struggling with anxiety, phobias or OCD? Is it impacting your happiness, friendships, school or work performance? I believe in supporting individuals with curiosity and compassion. I have experience helping children/teens and young adults to develop strategies to face their fears and increase self awareness. I use a strength based approach, evidenced based CBT-ERP, as well as approaches based in Eastern Psychology, such as yoga and mindfulness. I help my clients find brave moments expand their value based life. I work with individuals 8-25 years old and provide parent support. (All adult age groups for specific phobias)

I provide diagnosis assessment, therapy and intervention services if needed to adults and families.

I enjoy working with individuals and couples ages 16 and older, from all walks of life. I dedicate my work to helping individuals navigate through major life transitions, anxiety, depression, relational problems, trauma, parenting challenges, grief/loss, eating disorders, body image concerns, identity development (especially with LGBTQIA+ populations), personal growth and development.

Sometimes life is hard, and it’s not easy to ask for help. I provide therapy to adult clients with anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship issues, life transitions, men’s issues, and grief and loss. I have experience working with clients from various ages and cultural backgrounds, including the neurodivergent and LGBTQ+ communities. I enjoy using a blend of compassion and humor to connect with clients while helping them improve their lives. Give me a call so we can schedule our first appointment.

Founded in 1993 by Dr. Jeanette Vought, NewPath Mental Health Services (NPMHS) provides professional mental health services, incorporating Christian faith for those desiring it, to individuals who have experienced abuse or trauma. While we specialize in providing care to those who have experienced trauma, our therapists also have expertise treating depression, anxiety, sexual addictions, and addressing family and relational concerns. We are passionate about our mission to provide quality mental health care to everyone.

I specialize in anger management and relationship development. I enjoy teaching clients how to better communicate their needs and how to enhance their ability to listen and hear the needs of others as they are presented. I am a solution focused therapist. I aim to assist clients in gaining the insights and skills necessary to bring their life experience within their relationships to a positive level. I also enjoy working with survivors of abuses such as emotional, physical or sexual.

We are a group of mental health clinicians committed to providing high quality and comprehensive care for adults, adolescents and children. Whether you arrange individual therapy, family therapy, couples therapy, meetings with a psychiatrist or pediatric psychiatrist to discuss medication options, or psychological testing to better understand the problem, our fully licensed and credentialed clinicians coordinate all of these services under one roof. When you visit a BHSI clinic, you can expect skilled, compassionate and collaborative care.

I understand you may be hurting, worried, feeling lost, scared, frustrated, or overwhelmed. At moments like this, it may be hard to see how things can get better... That's what I'm here for. Let me help you. You are strong, skilled, and capable of improving your situation. I will listen, support, care, and ultimately help you make your life better than before. I know how bad it can get, but I also know how much things can improve; I know because I've been part of that happening for so many over the course of many years.

Finding the optimal therapeutic fit is a bit like going on a blind date... you hope for the best and prepare for the worst. People who think I'm a fit are often high-achieving individuals with an acute awareness of the issue, feel they have tried "everything" to fix it, and are giving therapy “one last chance.” I successfully get clients “unstuck” by challenging them in unconventional, collaborative ways. I intentionally push people 20% past where they are comfortable (because that’s where the growth happens!) and practice pivoting to ensure you have the skills to navigate, manage, and address the discomfort long-term.

I empower couples and individuals to overcome personal obstacles. Areas of special interest include couples and individuals coping with chemical addictions, anxiety & depression, grief & loss, and intimate relationships. I assist my clients to find an understanding of themselves in order to strengthen their connections and their relationships. With deep compassion and no judgment, I welcome all.

At our centrally located Golden Valley location, we offer compassionate, person centered care for individuals, couples and families. At this and all our locations, we believe you, the client, are in the foreground of our work.

She will meet the client where they are at and provides a safe space to explore themes that cause distress or dysfunction. Therapy can be difficult and at first, can feel embarrassing.

I work with individuals, youth, families, couples and professionals utilizing principles of somatic psychology. I have a PhD in Somatic psychology and a Masters degree in Adlerian psychology. I am certified in deep trauma work, EMDR and relational somatic psychotherapy. I have helped countless clients process their trauma utilizing various modalities. I am very familiar with addiction and how to heal from addiction by first healing trauma. I am committed in providing safe, caring and loving environment to my clients.

I am passionate about helping you heal & grow. I provide a comfortable, non-judgmental & supportive atmosphere where you can process difficult emotions, gain awareness of what keeps you in suffering, & integrate newfound insights to bring relief. I am sensitive to the ways your past experiences & future anxieties impact your present. When traumatic events or unexpressed feelings are left unattended we can become identified with these states and depression, anxiety, substance abuse, relationship problems and self-sabotage can arise. It can be difficult to make changes & overcome obstacles without support, new tools or insight.

If you are reading this, you're probably experiencing significant pain. Perhaps you're facing a break-up, or you realize your new partner is very much like the previous one. You may be scared, uncertain of the next step. Perhaps you are single, asking what it might take to find the right partner, or you may feel stuck in your marriage. You'll come in, plop yourself down, and ask me to fix you. I'll say: "I cannot do that." "All right," you say, "then, what is the point?" I'll respond: "I can help you be curious."

It is my goal to always maintain a non-judgemental, compassionate and safe place for clients to experience therapy. I look forward to the opportunity to help those who want to work toward a life and relationships that are worthwhile. My purpose as your therapist is to guide you towards realizing the goals you set forth for therapy. I will use my years of experience and continuous training to make sure we are using the most effective therapy specifically for your needs. We will work at a pace that is right for you.
