October is OCD Awareness Month

We've all heard it. "I'm so OCD."

To many, OCD is seen as some sort of preference; a character trait. Anyone living with OCD knows the truth. OCD can be debilitating, exhausting, and make us feel hopeless.

OCD isn’t an adjective, a personality trait, or a desire for perfection. It is a disruptive and often debilitating mental health condition driven by intrusive, unwanted thoughts (obsessions) and the urgent behaviors or mental rituals used to relieve that anxiety (compulsions).

The cycle can feel overwhelming, but there is genuine hope.

Evidence-based care—like Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)—helps untangle that cycle, teaching the brain that distress is manageable without giving in to rituals. Freedom, clarity, and peace of mind are possible.

This month, let’s help break the stigma by moving past the passive characterizations and meeting OCD with understanding, education, and genuine support.

To anyone navigating this journey: Your thoughts do not define who you are, and you don’t have to carry the weight alone.

Have questions about specialized OCD treatment or looking for support? Reach out to our team at Kind Attention Behavioral Health—we're here to walk alongside you.

We are so pleased to announce that Emily is now accepting clients and joining us starting August 24th! Schedule with her now by going to our website kindattention.org and pressing "request appointment."

Hello there, I’m Emily Kokas, a dedicated Licensed Practicing Counselor-Associate. I hold a Master of Arts degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Southern New Hampshire University.

In my provision of care, I use an eclectic approach to treatment. I commonly use Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, Mindfulness-Based Interventions, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and Harm Reduction. I also use a person-centered approach with every client to ensure that they feel comfortable and supported.

I foster a collaborative environment where I work with the client to understand the connections between past experiences and present challenges, developing strategies to aid emotional regulation, improve everyday function and focus, and to build resilience. In my work with the client, unique experiences are validated and strengths are celebrated.

I help adults untangle stress, manage ADHD, move through life transitions, depression and anxiety and heal from trauma. Together, we will build tools to help you breathe easier.

I also provide LGBTQIA+ affirming and gender-affirming care. I use chosen names and pronouns and comprehend minority stress.

I am passionate about supporting first responders and providing a space where those who serve others can receive the same level of care and understanding they give every day.

OCD can feel debilitating, distressing, and isolating. Doing Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) with a trained therapist is a way you can overcome the challenges by building resiliency in responding productivity associated with distress. Take your life back!

Shirley integrates evidence-based tools including Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) to help her clients find a clear path forward.
Shirley is dedicated to making therapy accessible and culturally resonant, offering bilingual services in Spanish via telehealth. She doesn't just provide therapy; she acts as a steady advocate and guide, helping her clients transform their challenges into meaningful change.
