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.

Dr. Yanet Vanegas
Psychologist, PsyD
My experience in treating Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) with Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) therapy has been both rewarding and transformative. With a deep understanding of the underlying mechanisms of OCD, I guide individuals through a structured and evidence-based approach to confronting their fears and breaking free from the cycle of obsessions and compulsions. Through systematic exposure to anxiety-provoking stimuli and prevention of ritualistic behaviors, I help clients gradually build tolerance to their distress and learn more adaptive ways of coping.
