Ms April Kitchens
Licensed Clinical Social Workers
“Specialize in ERP Therapy, treating OCD, anxiety, and other anxiety based diagnoses. ERP has been shown to be the most effective treatment for OCD. Im dedicated to helping others recover from overwhelming OCD symptoms, anxiety, depression and other lasting effects from past and present traumas, so you can be you again.”
About Me
When overwhelming OCD, anxiety, or trauma’s effects make it hard to feel like yourself, I offer support. I specialise in Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) therapy, shown highly effective for OCD. This direct approach helps you regain control over symptoms. We also address depression and lasting effects of past experiences. My aim is to guide your recovery, helping you rediscover your authentic self.
Approach
When intrusive fears and rituals feel like the default, I guide step‑by‑step practices that gently confront triggers while keeping you grounded. In sessions — in Pontotoc or online, in English — we move at a pace that feels manageable, using exposure‑based techniques, clear boundaries around responses, and short, doable exercises to practice between meetings. I track small gains with you, adjust tasks, and focus on what helps daily life feel steadier. Many adults and children find steady progress with this hands‑on, supportive rhythm.
