Trainer, Webmaster, LCSW

Katie is a licensed clinical social worker who specializes in the treatment of OCD. Katie has a Master’s degree in Social Work with a concentration in Health and Mental Health from the University of St. Joseph in West Hartford, Connecticut. Social work focuses not just on pathology, but also looks at human development through a lens of policy, social justice, and social welfare to give a more complete look at factors affecting people on a grander scale. This background in social justice contributes to her passion for pursuing a more robust set of skills for treating OCD, as well as advocating for multifaceted treatment approaches and competency for OCD specialists.

Katie also runs a private practice offering Inference-Based CBT, Exposure Response Prevention, Mindfulness Based Treatment, and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy for OCD. Katie believes that the most effective approach for treating OCD should be evidence based, multifaceted, and most importantly, informed by the needs of the client.

When not serving clients, Katie runs a small permaculture farmstead with her partner from their colonial home. She is also an accomplished forager, mushroom hunter, and apprentice falconer.

Gina often says being a therapist chose her. From a young age, she was always an empathetic observer, seeing and feeling things other people seemingly didn’t.

Gina began her education at Rider University, with a Bachelors of Psychology and concentration in Cognitive Neuroscience. She went on to obtain a Masters of Social Work from Rutgers University in 2009, and completed her clinical licensure in 2012. During that time, she worked for Virtua Hospital’s The Center for Women in Lumberton. There, Gina counseled women experiencing anxiety and depression during pregnancy and postpartum, infertility, pregnancy/infant loss, and birth trauma.

Gina’s specialty and passion is treating anxiety disorders and OCD, particularly in pregnancy and postpartum. She is trained in Exposure and Response Prevention, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Inference-Based Therapy, and Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction, as well as Equine Assisted Psychotherapy. In addition to treating clients, Gina also provides clinical supervision for LSWs and LACs looking to obtain clinical licensure, and consultation for training and tough cases.

Gina believes in approaching therapy in an authentic and relatable way. She often feels amazed by the resiliency of people, and our ability to make changes if given the tools and space. In her free time, Gina enjoys spending time outside on her horse farm to keep her grounded, chasing her chickens and kids (both human and goat).

Bronwyn is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. Her practice focuses on treating those with OCD, PTSD, and/or infidelity trauma. Bronwyn believes that therapists should always keep learning which is why she spends a lot of time reading up on emerging treatments, sitting in consultation with experts, and learning from her fellow therapists.

Bronwyn uses evidence-based treatments such as Inference-Based CBT (I-CBT), Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), and ego-states work in her practice. Bronwyn is an EMDR Consultant-in-Training and EMDR Certified Therapist. She also provides I-CBT consultation and consultation around working with comorbid PTSD/OCD diagnoses.

Bronwyn believes that clients should be seen as more than the acronym their diagnosis tags them with and that therapists deserve to have more than one evidence-based tool in their toolbox.
