Madina Alam

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 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 ERP the way she wished she'd learned it: with real cases, honest clinical conversations, and zero judgment about where you're starting from.

She created two digital workbooks: the ERP Workbook for OCD + Anxiety - a step-by-step action guide that makes you actually face your anxiety, and This Isn't a Habit - a BFRB workbook using Habit Reversal Training for trichotillomania, excoriation, and related behaviors. Both available as digital downloads.

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.
