As part of its continuing Lecture Series, OCD Connecticut is honored to host a virtual Zoom event featuring a presentation by Rev. Dr. Katie O’Dunne on Thursday, March 19, 2026, at 7:00 pm. Katie will talk about a topic that sits at the heart of many individuals’ recovery journeys: The Intersection of Religious Faith and OCD.

Katie founded and leads an inclusive virtual community for those navigating faith and OCD, called Stick with the Ick (formerly Faith & Mental Health Integrative Services). The organization helps individuals with OCD and related disorders live into their faith traditions as they navigate evidence-based treatment.

An ordained minister in the United Church of Christ, Katie spent 7 years as the Academy Chaplain and Chair of Religious Studies at Woodward Academy in Atlanta, simultaneously consulting on interfaith programming nationwide. Drawing on this experience, she educates clinicians and clergy, promoting culturally responsive treatment across religious/spiritual traditions.

Katie is a Lead Advocate for the IOCDF and leads the IOCDF Faith & OCD Action Council. She consults on Religion & OCD with OCDI Texas and received Vanderbilt’s Doctor of Ministry Award for Distinction in Integrative Care Practices. She is a frequent presenter at the IOCDF annual conferences and is the host of the Faith & OCD Roundtable series on IOCDF’s YouTube channel.
