Madina Alam, LMHC is a licensed mental health counselor and ERP-trained therapist specializing in OCD treatment, panic disorder, agoraphobia, specific phobias, and anxiety disorders. Based in Charlotte, NC, she offers online therapy for OCD and anxiety with clients across the country via telehealth and trains clinicians in practical ERP application.

Madina came to ERP training after experiencing therapist burnout firsthand, seeing every disorder in community mental health and excelling at none. Learning a treatment that actually works was what brought her back to loving this work. She teaches exposure and response prevention the way she wished she'd learned it: with real cases, honest clinical conversations, and zero judgment about where you're starting from.

She also created the Exposure Response Prevention (ERP) Workbook for OCD + Anxiety — a step-by-step action guide built on the gold standard treatment for OCD and anxiety. This isn't a journal. It makes you actually face your anxiety, with tools like an exposure hierarchy builder, response prevention scripts, and a guided first exposure. Available as a digital download for clients and clinicians alike.

She also organizes and hosts Unfiltered Minds, a nationwide mental health open mic tour bringing real conversations about mental health to cities across the country.
