I am a licensed psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner dedicated to serving my community. I enjoy connecting with my patients and working together to find the best treatment for them!
“I am passionate about helping individuals and families feel heard, supported, and understood. My 20 plus years of professional background includes working closely with children, adults, and families in both home and community-based settings, addressing concerns such as behavioral challenges, family conflict, trauma, and life stressors.
I have a special interest in supporting families, strengthening relationships, and helping clients navigate difficult transitions with confidence and clarity.”
I'm a licensed clinical mental health therapist that specializes in healing depression, anxiety, PTSD, disruptive behaviors, childhood trauma and various personality disorders. I have extensive experience with adolescent and family therapy but also work with wide range of age groups.
My name is Holly Bowling and I am a Certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner. I started my nursing career in 2012 after graduating from Ball State University. I have had the opportunity to work in many disciplines where I was able to utilize my knowledge and skills required to provide for those with mental health issues, specifically, anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, and ADHD, allowing me the opportunity to continue pursuing my career, in mental health.
My name is Doug L. Watson, MSN, APRN, PMHNP-BC, RN, and I’m a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner with three years of experience treating clients across the lifespan. While I’m trained to work with individuals of all ages, about 85% of my practice has been focused on pediatrics and adolescents—a population I’m truly passionate about serving. I see children as young as five years old through Telehealth up to ages 75 or higher if needed. I earned both my BSN and MSN from Indiana Wesleyan University, completing my graduate degree in October 2022.
I genuinely love what I do and have always felt called to the field of psychiatry. Becoming a Psych/Mental Health Nurse Practitioner has been one of the most fulfilling decisions of my life. I’m excited to be on my own, building a lasting career. I’m committed to providing compassionate, evidence-based care and making a positive difference in the lives of my clients and their families.
I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with more than 25 years of experience helping children, teens, adults, couples, and families navigate life's challenges. Throughout my career, I've worked in nonprofit mental health organizations, addiction treatment, and behavioral health settings, while also serving as a clinical supervisor and program director. These experiences have given me a deep understanding of how people grow, heal, and build resilience through every stage of life.
I work with clients experiencing anxiety, depression, ADHD, trauma, stress, anger, relationship challenges, life transitions, and substance use concerns. My goal is to provide a supportive, nonjudgmental space where you can feel heard, understood, and empowered to create meaningful change. Whether you're feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or simply looking for greater balance, we'll work together to identify practical solutions that fit your unique needs.
I’m passionate about supporting clients as they navigate life’s challenges. I believe everyone deserves to have someone by their side through both the highs and the lows.
I take a person-centered approach to therapy, meeting you exactly where you are and creating a space where you feel safe, understood, and supported—especially during vulnerable moments. I show up as my authentic self in sessions so that you can feel comfortable doing the same. My goal is that each time we meet, you leave feeling at least a little lighter—whether that comes from feeling heard, gaining insight, or simply having a space to release what you’ve been carrying.
With over 15 years of experience, I bring both professional knowledge and genuine compassion into my work. I’m known for being kind, approachable, and deeply committed to the therapeutic process.
I’m also a certified yoga instructor and enjoy incorporating mindfulness and grounding techniques into sessions when it feels helpful. I believe in the connection between mind and body and strive to support clients in feeling more balanced, present, and connected to themselves.
It’s truly an honor to walk alongside my clients as they heal, grow, and move forward.
Great to meet you. If you have been carrying more than most people realize, therapy can be a place to finally feel seen, supported, and understood. You may be navigating PTSD that still impacts your daily life, anxiety that fills every quiet moment, mood shifts that feel difficult to predict, anger that rises before you can stop it, depression, panic, grief, relationship stress, family issues, ADHD, OCD, substance use concerns, or the emotional toll of a chronic health condition. I work with adults, children, and seniors who want more than someone simply listening from a distance. My goal is to walk beside you with honesty, skill, practical tools, and a therapeutic relationship built on transparency and trust. Whether you are working through trauma, identity concerns, cultural stressors, women’s issues, LGBTQIA+ experiences, transgender issues, or major life stress, you deserve support that meets you where you are and helps you move forward.
At the heart of my practice is a genuine desire to help people grow. I believe every person has the ability to create a life that feels meaningful, connected, and aligned with their values. My role is to walk alongside clients as they navigate challenges, build new skills, and discover what’s possible for them. My style is warm, direct, and growth‐oriented.

Find an expert who truly understands OCD
Headway helps you manage obsessive-compulsive disorder with expert-guided support — from finding the right therapist or psychiatrist, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.
Factors to Consider When Choosing an OCD Therapist in Fort Wayne
Finding OCD therapists in Fort Wayne starts with looking for the right training, not just a matching specialty label. Exposure and response prevention, often called ERP, is an evidence-based therapy approach for OCD, and not all therapists are trained in it. If you’re looking for support with intrusive thoughts, compulsions, reassurance-seeking, avoidance, or related anxiety, review therapist bios for ERP, cognitive behavioral therapy, acceptance and commitment therapy, or direct experience with obsessive-compulsive disorder.
Fort Wayne offers a solid local mental health care market, and virtual care can add more options when office location, scheduling, or specialty training matters. Some therapists may list OCD as one of several areas they support, while others describe specific ERP training or structured OCD care. That difference can help you narrow your search. Before booking, compare appointment availability, whether the therapist is accepting new clients, consultation options, and profile details that explain how sessions are structured.
Therapy in Fort Wayne can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs, and Headway helps you see estimated out-of-pocket costs before you book. You can search for OCD therapists, review bios, check virtual or in-person availability, and book directly when you’re ready.
