Alyse Eldred, LMFT

I offer individual therapy to adolescents and adults. Approximately 85% of my caseload is dedicated to OCD clients. I have successfully treated OCD clients that were struggling with issues such as contamination, perfectionism, harm, checking, rumination, health, intrusive thoughts, sexuality and relationship OCD. I use both CBT and ERP to help my clients understand and gain control of their OCD and any co-occuring disorders. I am dedicated to helping you succeed and feel in control of your life.

When clients have co-occuring disorders they can get in the way of OCD and make it worse. I often see depression, anxiety, codependency and low self worth along side OCD. I use a mixture of CBT, psychoeducation, and a lot of self compassion to help ease the co-occuring disorder as well as teach them how it has been causing problems or exacerbating the OCD.

In May of 2018 I attended the IOCDF Behavior Therapy Training Institute (BTTI) in Portland, OR which has given me information, tools and ongoing support that I have been able to confidently put in to practice and use to help my clients with OCD. In October 2020 I joined NOCD as a therapist for a year where I treated OCD clients and received additional supervision and training. I have successfully helped many clients with various OCD themes and I am constantly educating myself through consultation groups and trainings to better support and help my clients recover from their OCD.

I am comfortable working with multicultural populations and understand the impact culture can have on mental health. I also appreciate learning more from my clients about culture to better help them and future clients.
