Trusted OCD Specialists in
New Hampshire

Tania Patrizio

Licensed Therapist, LICSW

I’ve treated OCD, as well as other forms of mental health challenges, for almost 20 years. I’ve used Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) therapy elements in general cases for trauma and PTSD, but now I provide specialized care for those dealing with OCD. I have experience treating all ages and know how ERP can benefit anyone dealing with all OCD subtypes. I’ll be honest. I love ERP because of how well it works. Let’s start treatment and get you better.

Jason Gibbs

Licensed Therapist, Ph.D.

As a therapist, I try to create a welcoming, warm environment. When I first meet with someone, I like to start off by finding out what they want to get out of therapy. I'll craft a treatment plan with you based on that, realizing that other concerns can arise on a week-to-week basis. Outside of work, I'm a big fan of rock and metal music and love going to concerts. I also have three sugar gliders that I've had for about seven years. They are miniature flying squirrels, basically. So during our sessions, if there's ever any weird chirping that comes through a wall in the background, that's probably what you're hearing.

Jen Locke

Licensed Therapist, LICSW

As a therapist, number one, I'm a non-judgmental listener. I hope that sitting with me is like sitting with a friend or a coach who can help you by listening. I'll give feedback, but this is your therapy—you will be deciding what you're going to be doing in your life. Some fun facts about me: I love to exercise and be outside. One of my passions is yoga. Especially during the summertime, you'll find me outside doing yoga, either in my backyard or at a park.

Makayla Gerhardt

Licensed Therapist, LMHC

My first priority as a therapist is to build trust. I know the thoughts you're having might be distressing. You can tell me anything. I won't judge you, and I will meet you where you're at, as an individual. Some fun facts about me: Every week, I get a Netflix DVD—yes, a physical DVD—sent to me. I love cinema. I also love watching The Price Is Right. I think I'm an older woman inside.

Justine Diener O'Leary

Licensed Therapist, PhD

I value collaboration, transparency, compassion, and authenticity in everything that I do. I aim to compassionately challenge you to take on OCD at a pace that feels sustainable to you. Trust, empowerment, education, and vulnerability are key! Outside of work, I love spending time with my husband, son, and two beagles, especially anywhere in nature. I feel most at peace when I am in the woods or by water. My lofty goal is to travel to all of the U.S. national parks in my lifetime!

Anna Dufford

Licensed Therapist, MS

I am here to support you in regaining your life, not to enable OCD. I will ask you to do hard things like challenging the obsessions and compulsions, in the service of empowering you to overcome OCD. Outside of work, I love all things outdoors—hiking, running, camping, off-roading. A fun fact about me: I did a little exposure by signing up for Tough Mudder and Spartan races. They offer the opportunity to challenge fears, and finding out you’re more capable than you thought is the best feeling.

Erika Valek

Licensed Therapist, MA

As a therapist, my role is to walk alongside you on your OCD journey. The work is collaborative; together we decide how to gradually help you learn to tolerate your distress, instead of avoiding it. You will have a say in the work we do and will be given the opportunity to consent or not to any type of exposure exercises. I'm originally from Colombia, South America, and I am proud to be Hispanic. I moved to the United States when I was 8 years old and faced many challenges being an immigrant and not knowing the English language. I am fluent in Spanish and love to offer individuals the opportunity to do the work in Spanish, if applicable.

Felix Murad

Licensed Therapist, MED

I am empathic and person-centered in my approach to treating OCD. I create a safe place where members feel comfortable, knowing they're not being judged or stigmatized. I ensure my members understand why we're taking our approach to therapy and collaborate on mutually agreed goals. My hobbies outside of work include watching sports, reading, playing games on my Xbox, and listening to music. I love to hang out with friends and family, play with my Boston Terrier, Sigmund, and travel.
