OCD Specialists. Real People. Clear Direction.
At River City OCD Clinic, our mission is simple: Help people build lives led by their values, not fear.
We take great pride in serving Louisville and Kentucky with expert OCD and anxiety treatment. Our team specializes in the treatment of OCD, anxiety, and OCD-related disorders using evidence-based approaches like Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT).
Whether you’re just starting or returning to treatment, we’re here to help you move forward with clarity, direction, and support.
How We Became River City OCD Clinic
Before we were doing business as River City OCD Clinic, we were already doing this work.
Our co-founders, Dr. Street Russell ("Dr. Street") and Sara Sutphin, LPP, spent nearly a decade working together in highly specialized OCD settings—including the former Louisville OCD Clinic—where treating OCD wasn’t just part of the job, it was the job.
Over time, those clinics gradually narrowed their attention towards other services, and away from treating OCD as their main priority. That did not sit well for Dr. Street and Sara...
Treating OCD has always been their focus and passion.
As the story goes, Dr. Street and Sara said their goodbyes and founded a clinic where OCD and anxiety treatment became the entree, not a side dish.
River City OCD Clinic is that vision, fully realized.
Why Reclaim Wellness Group Rebranded
River City OCD Clinic is a division of Reclaim Wellness Group, but with a clearer identity and purpose.
In October 2025, we made the decision to discontinue ketamine services and medication management. This wasn’t a step back, but a step toward something more focused and targeted.
This shift allowed us to fully dedicate our work to treating the conditions that reflect our specialized training, experience, and expertise:
-
OCD
-
Anxiety disorders
-
OCD-related disorders (OCDRs)
-
PTSD
-
Phobias
-
...any condition with a pinch of anxiety in the recipe
Doing business as River City OCD Clinic reflects that clarity. After all, we're not a general mental health clinic.
We’re a specialty OCD and anxiety clinic.

A Note on Ketamine & Other Treatments
Discontinuing ketamine services was not a rejection of its potential.
We’ve seen firsthand how meaningful those experiences can be for people dealing with treatment-resistant conditions.
We continue to respect and support the growing research in this area.
If you’re exploring ketamine or other emerging treatments, we’re happy to help point you toward trusted providers.
Next Steps for River City OCD Clinic
We’re continuing to grow in ways that increase access to specialized OCD care:
-
Expanding outreach and education
-
Bringing in and training additional OCD specialists
-
Offering more groups, workshops, and resources
Despite being highly treatable, OCD is one of the most commonly misunderstood mental health conditions and many people never receive the kind of care that actually works.
According to the International OCD Foundation (IOCDF), only 2% of OCD sufferers are being treated with ERP. Moreover, the majority of OCD sufferers are being treated with therapy approaches that can make OCD worse.
Services That Target OCD Using Evidence-Based Approaches are Accessible in Kentucky, Indiana, and Many Locations Today
At River City OCD Clinic, our clinicians specialize in ACT-enhanced ERP for all OCD subtypes and presentations, as well as anxiety and perfectionism. We offer individual therapy, group therapy, intensive outpatient treatment (IOP), and telehealth services throughout Kentucky and across participating PSYPACT states through Dr. Street Russell.
