Augusto Barbaran LMHC, LPC

At NOCD, I specialize in providing evidence-based treatment for people with OCD. I have received intensive training in Exposure Response and Prevention Therapy (ERP), effective for OCD and for anxiety disorders as well.
When you start with NOCD Therapy, you’ll either work with me or be paired with one of my colleagues – this will depend on your preference and availability. We’ll work to get to know you and create a personalized treatment plan to help you achieve your goals. We also treat co-occurring disorders such as depressive disorders, and anxiety disorders, and tics.

I treat co-occurring depressive disorders through Behavioral Activation treatment, focused on improving mood and engagement in life through behavioral change.

I treat co-occurring anxiety disorders (GAD, Social anxiety, Panic Disorder, Phobias) through ERP as well, focusing on targeting behavior change and response prevention.

At NOCD we received intensive training in Exposure Response and Prevention Therapy (ERP)—the gold standard treatment for OCD. Our training ensures that we accurately identify, diagnose and treat OCD. In fact, before seeing clients, we have to pass a rigorous exam that ensures we can properly diagnose and treat OCD. Moreover, we also receive training in how to treat common conditions that impact the OCD community, such as depression and anxiety. In addition to our extensive training, we also receive ongoing consultation and support to ensure our members get the best care possible.
