Therapist

Virtual • Minnesota


I'm Kat Paris, a Licensed Mental Health Counselor, specializing in the treatment of OCD, anxiety disorders, depressive disorders, and body-focused repetitive behaviors. For over five years, I've worked extensively with individuals experiencing OCD and anxiety in a variety of care settings. I specialize in Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP), the gold-standard treatment for OCD. My approach also integrates other evidence-based therapies, including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Habit Reversal Training (HRT) for skin picking, hair pulling, and other body-focused repetitive behaviors, and Behavioral Activation to help individuals experiencing depression reconnect with activities that bring purpose and fulfillment. My goal is to provide compassionate, evidence-based care in a collaborative environment where you'll gain the tools and confidence to overcome challenges and reconnect with what matters most.

Alli Orton

Therapist

Virtual • Minnesota


I bring over a decade of professional experience to therapy along with my own life experiences, empathy, understanding, and hopefully a little humor along the way.

While my license is as a Marriage and Family Therapist, I strive to live my own life as authentically and intentionally as I can as a parent, family member, and friend; and I bring those same values into the therapy room.

I believe every person has a story worth telling and deserves to feel heard without judgment. It is truly an honor to witness the strength and resilience my clients possess, and I never take for granted the trust they place in me by allowing me to be part of their journey.
