Kirsten Bell
Are intrusive thoughts, reassurance seeking, mental spirals, or “what if” fears taking over your life? I work with teens and adults navigating OCD and anxiety, especially when symptoms overlap with identity, relationships, religion, sexuality, or fears that feel deeply personal and isolating. Many of my clients come to therapy feeling stuck, ashamed, or exhausted by their minds. Together, we build tools to reduce OCD’s grip, increase self-trust, and help you move toward a life guided by your values.
I specialize in OCD, Anxiety, and Depression, and I have a passion for working with LGBTQIA+ populations. Using ERP, DBT, psychodynamic, and narrative therapy, we’ll build insight, challenge stuck patterns, and strengthen emotional regulation. Highlighting a balance of depth, practical tools, and humor.
Living with OCD can feel exhausting and isolating, especially when your thoughts don’t make sense to others. You deserve a space where all parts of you feel welcome. I offer affirming, collaborative therapy for queer clients ready to loosen OCD’s grip and reconnect with themselves. I'd love to connect if this feels like a good fit!
