About
I am Natalia Aíza, MA, LPC, an OCD specialist, educator, and founder of Kairos Wellness Collective. I help individuals and families understand OCD and anxiety, change the patterns that keep them stuck, and find a clearer path toward recovery and independence.
My relationship with OCD is both professional and personal.
I have lived with OCD myself, and I have dedicated my career to helping individuals and families understand how anxiety, avoidance, reassurance, and accommodation can quietly take over daily life.
That experience shapes the way I work. I bring empathy to the fear and frustration that OCD creates, but I also believe deeply in our ability to change the patterns that keep us stuck.
OCD and anxiety pull families into cycles of avoidance, reassurance, accommodation, and conflict. My work focuses on helping you recognise those patterns and respond differently.
I draw on Exposure and Response Prevention, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, and parent-based approaches such as SPACE — turning complicated clinical concepts into strategies you can actually use.
