Nathan is a mental health specialist who transforms lives through his expertise in OCD, anxiety, tics, Tourette's, and Body-Focused Repetitive Behaviors (BFRBs). With extensive clinical experience across inpatient hospitals, schools, and his thriving private practice in Allen, Texas, Nathan has pioneered innovative self-directed online programs that make specialized mental health care accessible worldwide. 

His popular YouTube channel has reached millions, delivering evidence-based guidance with the kind of compassionate support that has made him a trusted voice in the field. When he's not working with clients, Nathan is busy breaking down barriers to mental health treatment—proving that effective care can be both deeply personal and remarkably far-reaching.

In this episode, we discuss the stigma around OCD, especially the subtype of Harm OCD. We explore what Harm OCD actually is (and what it isn’t), the many ways OCD can show up beyond common stereotypes, and why so many people experience shame and confusion around their thoughts. 

We also talk about evidence-based treatment approaches like ERP and ACT, how to support loved ones struggling with OCD, and what it’s like showing up online as a mental health professional to reduce stigma and share more accurate information.
