Y'all! You have made your way over to my profile, welcome.
I am Lindsey, I am a licensed clinical mental health counselor and a licensed clinical addiction specialist in the state of North Carolina.
I graduated from Western Carolina University with a bachelors of Psychology in 2020, and from Montreat College with a masters in Clinical Mental Health Counseling in 2023.
I specialize in drug and alcohol addiction, codependent behaviors, obsessive compulsive disorder, bipolar disorder, and trauma.
I am Theresa Abbah, a board-certified Psychiatric and Mental Health Nurse Practitioner based in Smithfield, North Carolina, with over 27 years of experience in nursing and mental health care. My professional journey has been deeply rooted in psychiatry, where I have developed a broad and comprehensive clinical skill set focused on delivering compassionate, patient-centered care.
I spent more than 15 years working as a psychiatric nurse in an inpatient state mental health facility, which provided a strong foundation in managing complex mental health conditions. I am proud to have been one of the pioneers involved in establishing Youth Behavioral Health services, helping guide its successful accreditation and commitment to maintaining high standards of care.
As a Nurse Practitioner, I have advanced my practice working in both youth and adult inpatient behavioral health settings, including roles with UNC Youth Behavioral Health Hospital in Butner and UNC Johnston Health. I specialize in diagnosing and managing a wide range of mental health disorders, conducting crisis assessments, and providing timely referrals for individuals of all ages experiencing psychiatric, substance use, neurocognitive, or developmental challenges.
In 2018, I independently developed an alternative psychotherapy-based psychosocial treatment program to support patients in crisis at UNC Wakebrook, reflecting my commitment to innovation in mental health care.
I bring a positive attitude, creativity, and a high level of dedication to my work, consistently striving to deliver evidence-based care to patients and their families. My clinical strengths include psychopharmacology, psychotherapy, crisis stabilization, maintenance treatment and leadership, all of which guide my mission to improve mental health outcomes and support individuals on their path to recovery.
I’m a Raleigh-based licensed clinical mental health therapist offering services across North Carolina. I work with adolescents and young adults and specialize in anxiety management, emotional resilience, and relationship building.
Martha Ochako is a Board-Certified PMHNP who is competent in assessing patients, diagnosing disorders, and prescribing appropriate treatments. She does not just cover a symptom with a drug before investigating and addressing its root causes.
She graduated from Metro State University, in MN with an E L M Sc. in nursing. She completed a Post Masters Certification of PHMNP from R M University of Health Professions, Utah. She holds a doctorate (DHSC) from Nova SE University, Florida.
Accepting new patients. I am a board-certified psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner at Holsan Behavioral Health who provides medication management with psychotherapy to ages six and older. I offer in-person appointments in Raleigh, NC, and telehealth services across the state of North Carolina. I specialize in attention difficulties, behavioral challenges, mood challenges, anxiety, psychosis, personality disorders, sleep, military issues, and trauma.
My therapeutic approach is anchored in trauma informed, creative and mind-body practices, ensuring that the people with whom I work receive high quality care that addresses their concerns at the heart, as this is where we see real, transformational change. I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor, a Level 2 Certified Clinical Trauma Professional, (CCTP-II) and a Certified Clinical Anxiety Treatment Professional (CCATP).
I work with motivated individuals seeking relief from chronic pain as well as reduced stress and anxiety in their personal lives or at work. Chronic pain conditions that I treat include but are not limited to neck and back pain, headaches, pelvic pain, IBS, tinnitus, and fibromyalgia.
My approach is very goal and solution-oriented.

Factors to Consider When Choosing an OCD Therapist in Asheville
Finding OCD therapists in Asheville starts with looking for training that matches the care you need. Exposure and response prevention, often called ERP, is one therapy approach some clinicians use when supporting people with obsessive-compulsive disorder, and not all therapists are trained in it. As you compare therapists, look for bios that mention ERP, OCD intrusive thoughts, obsessive thoughts, compulsions, avoidance, or the OCD cycle. Some therapists may also list approaches like cognitive behavioral therapy or acceptance and commitment therapy, which can support OCD care when used by a therapist with relevant experience.
Asheville has a smaller mental health care market than many larger North Carolina cities, so virtual appointments can expand your options beyond nearby offices. This may help if you want a therapist with specific ERP training, a certain appointment time, or experience with related concerns like anxiety, compulsive disorder symptoms in adults, or obsessive behavior. When reading therapist profiles, look for the difference between a general mention of OCD and specific details about ERP training, session structure, and what the therapist focuses on in care.
Therapy in Asheville can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and understand your estimated out-of-pocket expense before you book. Headway helps you compare OCD therapists who are accepting new patients, review their bios, check virtual or in-person availability, and see estimated costs after entering your insurance details, so you can find a therapist who matches your needs and accepts your plan.
