Counseling is a place of acceptance where you can learn to see your true value. You hold the keys to your happiness. You just need support to unlock that door. Doing it alone will keep you stuck. You can learn to trust again. I received specialized training in Marriage and Family Therapy. I am also a Registered Play Therapist and enhance parent-child communication. I have an office where I see individuals and families. I also have two large rooms where I teach parents how to use Play Therapy Skills.

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 Charlotte

Searching for OCD therapists in Charlotte starts with finding a therapist trained in OCD care, especially exposure and response prevention, often called ERP. ERP is one therapy approach some clinicians use when supporting people with OCD, and therapists may need specific training to provide this type of care. A qualified healthcare professional can help determine what approach may be appropriate. If you are looking for support with intrusive thoughts, compulsive checking, contamination fears, reassurance seeking, or anxiety related to OCD, read therapist bios for direct mentions of ERP, OCD, anxiety, and related specialties.

Charlotte has many therapy options across neighborhoods like Uptown, South End, NoDa, and surrounding areas, which can make it hard to compare fit. For OCD, there is a meaningful difference between a therapist who lists OCD as one area of familiarity and a therapist who names ERP or focused OCD training in their profile. You may also want to compare appointment availability, virtual or in-person options, and whether a free phone consultation is offered. A therapist’s bio can help you understand their approach, session style, and experience before you book.

Therapy in Charlotte can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs. Headway helps you find OCD therapists who accept insurance, are accepting new patients, and match your preferences for location, appointment format, and specialty. You can enter your insurance information to see estimated out-of-pocket costs before booking, then browse therapists, review bios, and book directly when you’re ready.
