I am originally from North Carolina and moved to Virginia 6 years ago. I studied at Wake Forest University. Since I was younger, I've enjoyed helping others and learning about the science of mental health. It became my hobby when I was younger. I enjoy working with so many backgrounds and increasing my education each year as I help new people. Currently, I like to utilize mindfulness based CBT, DBT, and ACT.
I’ve been a practicing clinical psychologist for 40 years. Over the course of my career, I’ve had the privilege of working with many different types of people, including those navigating PTSD, bipolar disorder, anxiety, eating disorders, veterans’ issues, parenting challenges, life transitions, and women’s issues. I’ve worked in private practice, counseling centers, nursing homes, inpatient treatment, and equine therapy, which has given me broad experience supporting clients across many settings and stages of life.
Hi, I’m Olga Sears, PMHNP-BC, a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner dedicated to helping adults navigate life’s challenges with compassion and understanding. I provide holistic, evidence-based care for depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, mood disorders, and ADHD. My goal is to create a safe, supportive space where you feel truly heard, respected, and empowered to take meaningful steps toward healing.
I am a licensed clinical psychologist with nearly 50 years of experience helping individuals, couples, families, churches, and organizations find help, healing, and hope. Dually trained in both clinical psychology and theology, I bring an integrated perspective to mental health care that honors the whole person. I earned my Psy.D. and M.A. in Clinical Psychology from Rosemead School of Psychology at Biola University and have served in a variety of professional roles, including Director of Counseling Services at Focus on the Family and Vice President of the American Association of Christian Counselors. I have authored or co-authored ten books on marriage, mental health, recovery, and relational health, and have been in professional practice since 1977.

My true passion is mental health, and I am blessed to be able to focus my intentions on helping to serve clients in my community. . I enjoy working with clients on a variety of areas that include anxiety, depression, life adjustment, relationships, family dynamics, trauma, and obsessive compulsive disorder.

Factors to Consider When Choosing an OCD Therapist in Richmond
Finding OCD therapists in Richmond starts with looking for training that matches obsessive-compulsive disorder care. OCD can involve intrusive thoughts, checking behaviors, contamination fears, reassurance seeking, or mental rituals. Exposure and response prevention, often called ERP, is one therapy approach some clinicians use when supporting people with OCD, and not all therapists are trained in it. As you compare therapists, look for ERP, cognitive behavioral therapy for OCD, or OCD-specific experience in their bios.
Richmond offers a strong mix of therapy options, but the right match depends on more than location. You may prefer an office near downtown Richmond, the Fan, or surrounding areas like Chesterfield, or you may want the added flexibility of virtual appointments. For OCD care, it helps to compare therapists who list OCD as an area of focus with those who describe specific ERP training or structured OCD care. Review each bio for approach, availability, session format, and whether a free phone consultation is offered.
Therapy in Richmond can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs, and Headway helps you see your estimated out-of-pocket cost before you book. You can search for Richmond therapists who focus on OCD, filter by insurance and appointment format, read bios, and book directly when you’re ready.
