Kreins Psychological Services
Psychologist, PhD, PsyD
As a psychologist specializing in obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), my treatment approach is tailored to address the unique symptoms and challenges experienced by each individual. Through evidence-based therapies such as cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), particularly exposure and response prevention (ERP), I work collaboratively with clients to identify and challenge obsessive thoughts and compulsive behaviors. By gradually exposing individuals to feared stimuli while refraining from engaging in compulsions, we aim to reduce anxiety and disrupt the cycle of obsessions and compulsions. Additionally, I incorporate mindfulness techniques and acceptance-based strategies to help clients develop a more adaptive relationship with uncertainty and discomfort. Psychoeducation plays a crucial role in enhancing understanding of OCD and building skills for long-term management. My goal is to empower individuals to regain control over their lives, reduce OCD symptoms, and improve overall quality of life.

Claudia Mellott
Licensed Professional Counselor, MS, LCPC
Obsessive-compulsive disorder, OCD, if untreated, tends to get worse as time goes on. Put simply, humans get better at what they practice. If one engages in obsessive thinking, one becomes a better obsessive thinker. Obsessive thinking and/or compulsive actions rob people of much needed time as well as energy. Treatment usually includes a combination of psychoeducation, cognitive-behavioral therapy, CBT, and anxiety reducing skills such as breathing techniques. Studies show that the most effective results for OCD is a combination of medication and psychotherapy.
