Jennifer Plumb Vilardaga, PhD
Psychologist, PhD
OCD can feel limiting and time-consuming. Facing OCD can increase life satisfaction. We can use exposure therapy principles to help you break unhelpful cycles of behaviors that never fully do what they promise - bring peace. Learning to distinguish between obsessions and compulsions is an important first step, followed by building skills to be with discomfort (rather than driven to reduce discomfort) and take action toward meaningful life goals.

Merrisa Dawn Santos
Licensed Professional Counselor, MA, LPC, NCC, CCTMHP, CCTP
In supporting patients struggling with OCD issues, I provide compassionate and evidence-based interventions to help them manage their symptoms and improve their quality of life. Through therapy, we work on understanding the underlying fears and compulsions driving their OCD behaviors. I offer cognitive-behavioral techniques such as exposure and response prevention to help them gradually confront and reduce their obsessive thoughts and compulsive behaviors. Additionally, we focus on developing coping strategies, relaxation techniques, and mindfulness practices to manage anxiety and stress. The goal is to empower patients to regain control over their lives and engage in meaningful activities, despite their OCD symptoms, leading to greater freedom and well-being.
