Obsessive-compulsive disorder therapists & psychiatrists in Albuquerque, NM


Top OCD therapists and psychiatrists in Albuquerque, NM
Albuquerque's mental health landscape is strengthened by Headway's extensive provider network, where individuals seeking OCD support can connect with warm, solution-oriented therapists specializing in contamination fears, handwashing rituals, and obsessive patterns. Sessions conducted virtually or in-person help patients build practical coping strategies tailored to their unique needs.
With an academic background in women’s studies, psychology and family systemic processes, I am able to provide deep insight into how individuals, children, couples, families, and young adults navigate all relationships and societal expectations. This allows clients to succeed in self-discovery and grow into better functioning, creating more harmony within life's roles.
Seeking help isn't always easy, and I believe finding the right provider should feel like a good fit, not just another appointment. As a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP), my goal is to create a space where you can speak openly, feel genuinely heard, and know that we're working together as a team.
I enjoy caring for individuals across the lifespan, including children, adolescents, adults, and older adults. I treat anxiety, depression, ADHD, bipolar disorder, trauma-related concerns, OCD, insomnia, and other mental health challenges. I also help people navigate grief, life transitions, caregiver stress, and the emotional impact that chronic medical conditions can have on everyday life.
I don't believe in a one-size-fits-all approach. Every person has a different story, and treatment should reflect that. Whether we're discussing medication, coping strategies, or lifestyle changes, I want you to feel informed, comfortable asking questions, and involved in every decision we make.
My hope is that you leave each appointment feeling understood, supported, and with a clear plan for moving forward.
I am a Clinical Mental Health Therapist with over 16 years of experience working with children, adolescents, adults and families in community mental health, educational and private practice settings. Prior to that, I spent 20 years in pastoral ministry. I completed my Masters in Counseling Psychology in 2008 from Northwestern Oklahoma State University, and soon after moved to Northwest New Mexico/Southwest Colorado. My professional experience includes: Administrator of a Residential Treatment Center, Clinical Administrator for Children's Behavioral Health, Student Assistance Coordinator for a school district, Visiting Professor at a School of Social Work, Private Practice, Outpatient Clinical Manager, Health Services Coordinator for a school district, and Integrated Behavioral Health Provider in a family medical practice setting. In addition to working with high risk/high needs children and adolescents, I work primarily with trauma as well as anxiety and depression. I also serve as a Certified First Responder Counselor.
Hi, I’m Akisha Toussaint, a board-certified Family Nurse Practitioner and Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner.
Wellness isn't just about managing symptoms—it’s about feeling like yourself again. If you're dealing with anxiety, depression, ADHD, sleep issues, or just feeling off balance, you deserve support that addresses every part of your health—mind and body.
I went back to school at age 40 to get my Master's in Social Work, which I received in 2019. I had been working in the behavioral health field for 6 years up to that point as a health navigator for a behavioral health outpatient clinic. During therapy, I help clients to process things from the past that are keeping them stuck related to their relationships with themselves and others. I utilize EMDR, CBT, ERP, and an attachment based approach and enjoy working with clients who have experienced any sort of trauma, would like to improve their relationships and communication skills, experience obsessions and compulsions, and more. My practice is called Warm Glow Therapy, which was named after a client's idea of a supportive resource. Despite the name, I am a down to earth person and therapist. I would love to help you create a plan for a better future! I am licensed to provide therapy for clients in New Mexico and Arizona. Feel free to send me a message if you have any questions you would like me to answer. New clients can schedule an initial intake or a brief consultation to discuss whether we would be a good fit.
My name is Dupe, and I bring a unique blend of energy, open-mindedness, and a passion for empowerment to my work. I believe that a great partnership is built on trust and a shared vision for growth. Her style is collaborative and encouraging, focusing on building a strong partnership where clients feel supported, understood, and inspired to reach their full potential.
If you're overwhelmed or seeking change, I'm here to help. Together we'll explore your patterns, reconnect with who you are, and build a personalized toolbox for long-term growth. My approach is warm, grounded, and centered on your own unique story.
Very empathic, resilient, welcoming and non judgmental.
Hi there! My name is Hannah (pronounced like Hon-nah) and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. I moved to New Mexico from the East Coast after making the decision to create a more meaningful and authentic life for myself. You’ll find as we work together, I bring a spirit of curiosity and interrelatedness through warmth, validation, and compassion. I started my career working with adolescents and later transitioned to adult therapy. My professional experience as a clinician extends from suicide and crisis support to helping those struggling with problematic substance use. As of late, my work has focused on treating those with mood and/or anxiety disorders.
Outside of my work as a therapist, I enjoy spending time outdoors, riding my horses, and being with my family. These activities help me stay grounded and connected to what matters most in life. I value balance, authenticity, and meaningful relationships, and I bring those same values into my work with clients. I strive to create a welcoming, supportive environment where clients feel comfortable being themselves and working toward their goals.

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 Albuquerque
Finding OCD therapists in Albuquerque starts with looking for the right training, not just the right location. OCD can involve intrusive thoughts, compulsive checking, contamination concerns, reassurance seeking, or mental rituals. Exposure and response prevention, often called ERP, is one therapy approach some providers use to support people with OCD, and not every therapist has training in it. As you compare therapists, look for bios that name OCD, ERP, anxiety-related concerns, or obsessive thoughts as listed specialties.
Albuquerque offers a mix of local offices and virtual therapy options, which can help you balance location, schedule, and clinical fit. If in-person OCD therapy near you matters, review office location, appointment availability, and whether the therapist is accepting new patients. If local openings are limited or your schedule is less flexible, virtual sessions may give you more options. Therapist profiles can also help you tell the difference between someone who lists OCD as a general area of focus and someone who describes specific ERP training or experience with OCD assessment and support.
Therapy in Albuquerque can be a significant expense without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and see your estimated out-of-pocket cost before you book. Headway helps you find therapists who focus on OCD and offer virtual or in-person appointments. Nationally, Headway partners with a wide range of insurance plans, and you can enter your insurance details to confirm coverage for Albuquerque and your specific plan. You can compare bios, check availability, and book directly when you’re ready.
