Lacy Allen Watkins is a licensed mental health and perinatal mental health counselor who specializes in Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD), anxiety disorders, addictions, maternal mental health, depression and borderline personality disorder. With over 10 years of experience, Lacy has worked in a variety of settings such as psychiatric hospitals, women’s counseling center and the Division of Juvenile Justice, to name a few. Lacy has also worked with couples, veterans, and parents with perinatal or postpartum OCD.



Lacy’s approach to treatment is centered on the client’s self-discovery which entails the exploration of the client’s problems, thoughts, beliefs, feelings, and behaviors. It’s Lacy’s goal is to meet clients where they are, validate their experience, empower them to overcome life's greatest challenges, instill hope and fortitude, and achieve balance in their lives. 

 Self-compassion is so important in this work and is a large area of focus that Lacy focuses on with her clients! As clients participate in ERP, with anxiety lowering and rituals decreasing, they will also be able to gain more tolerance of the uncertainty. With the client's consent, Lacy also supplements session's with the client's partners and family members in order to assist them in learning more about OCD and to assist them in learning how to not accommodate behaviors that are keeping the OCD in place.
