Kimberly Young Brazill, LMHC
Hi, I’m Kimberly Young Brazill, a Licensed Mental Health Counselor specializing in OCD and anxiety disorders. For more than 12 years, I’ve helped people break free from patterns that keep them stuck and build greater confidence and freedom.
My experience includes specialized OCD and anxiety treatment in a behavioral health nonprofit, clinical supervision supporting therapists in evidence-based care, and advanced OCD training through the International OCD Foundation’s Behavior Therapy Training Institute.
I’m continually inspired by the resilience, humor, and courage it takes to face what feels difficult. My approach is steady, honest, and supportive, helping clients face their fears and build lives guided by their values rather than anxiety.
I believe there is more to life than managing anxiety, and I’m passionate about helping people discover what’s possible beyond it.
John Brazill, LMHC
I’m John Brazill, a Licensed Mental Health Counselor specializing in OCD and Anxiety disorders using Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP), with a focus on helping clients step out of cycles of fear, avoidance, and over-control.
Over the past 12+ years, I’ve worked in a range of behavioral health settings, including high-acuity and structured levels of care where OCD and anxiety can present in more complex and impairing ways. That experience shaped how I think about treatment: clear, structured, and grounded in what actually helps people change their day-to-day relationship with anxiety.
In my private practice, I work primarily with adults navigating OCD, intrusive thoughts, health anxiety, perfectionism, and related anxiety disorders. My approach is straightforward and collaborative. We identify what’s keeping the cycle going, and we work directly with it gently, but consistently.
I’m not interested in overcomplicating therapy. My goal is to help clients understand what’s happening, learn how OCD operates in their life specifically, and build the confidence to respond differently over time.
Clients often tell me they appreciate a mix of clarity and steadiness in our work together. I aim to be direct when it helps, supportive when it’s needed, and focused on helping you actually move forward not just talk about why you feel stuck.
If you’re looking for a structured, evidence-based approach to OCD and anxiety treatment, I’d be glad to work with you.
