Natalia Aíza, MA, LPC
I know OCD from both sides.
Clinician, author, and someone who lives with OCD. I turn what the research knows about anxiety and OCD into something families can actually use — in three books, on stage, and in print.
As featured in
Books
Three practical workbooks: self-guided EMDR, self-guided ERP for OCD, and a parent's guide to launching an anxious adult child.
Media & Speaking
Podcasts, interviews, webinars, and conference talks — with booking details for producers, journalists, and event organisers.
Writing
Essays and reported pieces for ADDitude, ADAA, Recovery Diaries, and others, written for the people living it.
About Natalia
My relationship with OCD is both professional and personal.
I am Natalia Aíza, MA, LPC — an OCD and anxiety specialist, author, and the founder of Kairos Wellness Collective in Louisville, Colorado.
I have lived with OCD myself, and I have spent my career helping individuals and families understand how anxiety, avoidance, reassurance, and accommodation quietly take over a life.
That double view shapes everything I write. I bring empathy to the fear OCD creates, and I am stubborn about the fact that these patterns can change.
