I work best with driven people experiencing a big change. Perhaps, despite your best efforts, things aren’t working out as you’d hoped. Or perhaps you’ve gotten all you wanted and it doesn’t satisfy. I work often with D1 athletes & pros (as well as their family members). I love supporting the romantic partners of people in the public eye. Though I often work with athletes I am not a Sports Psych. In fact, I don’t even follow sports! I’m here for the rest of your life and identity.

Dr. Joshua Edwards

Dr. Joshua Edwards

Therapist

Virtual • Fort Thomas, KY


Most people arrive at therapy carrying something they've never said out loud. My job is to make saying it possible by being someone worth trusting with it.

I've been a practicing counselor for over a decade. I also teach and supervise the next generation of therapists, which keeps me sharp and current. But experience and credentials aren't what makes the work good. What makes therapy work is that I'm a real person in the room with you: direct when that helps, quiet when that helps more. I will never ask you to do something I'm not willing to do myself.

My education isn't limited to my degrees. My clients have taught me more about resilience, compassion, and what it means to live fully than any program did. I hold that as sacred, and I take you as seriously as I take that.

Happy patient looking away

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 Lexington

Finding OCD therapists in Lexington starts with looking for the right training, not just a matching specialty label. OCD care often focuses on obsessions, compulsions, intrusive thoughts, checking behaviors, contamination concerns, and reassurance-seeking patterns. Exposure and response prevention, often called ERP, is one therapy approach some clinicians use to support people living with OCD, and therapists vary in their training with it. As you compare options, look for ERP treatment near me, OCD experience, or exposure and response prevention in therapist bios so you can identify someone whose listed approach matches your needs.

In a mid-sized city like Lexington, your options may include therapists with local offices, virtual appointments, or both. Virtual care can expand your search beyond the closest office while still helping you stay connected to care that fits your schedule. When reviewing therapists, look beyond whether they mention OCD. A therapist who lists OCD as a focus area may have different training than one who clearly describes ERP, cognitive behavioral therapy, or structured OCD therapy. Therapist bios can also show how sessions are structured, whether a free phone consultation is offered, and whether the therapist is accepting new patients.

Therapy in Lexington can be a significant expense without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and understand your out-of-pocket cost before you book. Headway helps you search for therapists who match your preferences, see insurance information for your specific plan, and view real appointment availability. You can compare bios, see estimated costs after entering your insurance details, and book directly when you’re ready.
