Keri Willard, LPCC
Therapist (she/her)
As a therapist specializing in anxiety and OCD, I am deeply committed to assisting clients as they navigate the unique challenges and complexities these conditions bring to their life journeys. My passion lies in providing tailored support and strategies to help each individual manage and overcome the specific intricacies of anxiety and OCD, fostering a path towards healing and personal growth. I strive to create a therapeutic space that is both welcoming and comforting, rooted in empathy and understanding. I believe in the power of a supportive setting where clients feel heard, respected, and valued. My approach is centered around taking the time to truly learn who you are as a person, your unique needs, and tailoring treatment to meet your goals.
Empowering my clients is at the core of my practice. I am dedicated to guiding you through the therapeutic process, helping you make the changes necessary to live the life you want. Together, we will explore your goals, tackle challenges, and celebrate your progress. I am here not just as a therapist, but as a collaborative partner in your journey, offering support and encouragement every step of the way. My aim is to equip you with the tools and strategies needed to navigate your life with confidence and resilience.
In my practice as a therapist, I have the privilege of treating anxiety and OCD across a diverse range of clients, spanning various stages of life from childhood through adolescence to adulthood. Each age group brings its unique challenges and joys, and I find immense fulfillment in adapting my approach to meet the specific needs of each individual. Whether I'm helping a child navigate the complexities of their young world, supporting an adolescent in their journey towards self-discovery, or guiding an adult through the myriad challenges of life, my goal remains consistent: to provide compassionate, effective treatment tailored to each person's unique experience and stage of life. My experience with such a broad spectrum of ages enriches my practice and offers me a comprehensive perspective on the human experience.
In my clinical work, I use a range of empirically supported treatments. These include Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP), and Supportive Parenting for Anxious Childhood Emotions (SPACE), which equips parents with strategies to support their anxious children. By combining these evidence-based approaches, I help my clients develop a comprehensive toolbox to face their fears, overcome obstacles, and reclaim control of their lives from anxiety. Our partnership is founded on mutual respect and understanding: I bring my knowledge of effective treatments, while you bring your expertise on your life and experiences. Together, we work towards achieving your personal goals and enhancing your overall well-being. I look forward to meeting you, and helping you get your life back!
Besides being a therapist, I’m also married and a mother to three wonderful children. In my free time, I enjoy immersing myself in books, baking homemade soft pretzels, and playing endless rounds of board games and backyard sports with my kids, creating cherished memories together. Throughout it all, you can also find me perpetually catching up on housework, embracing the beautiful chaos of family life.
