Psychologist, Licensed Psychologist
Why is it that we get stuck doing things that don't help us all for the sake of trying to feel calm and in control. That is the paradox of OCD.

Dr. Patricia Webbink
Psychologist, MA and PhD in Clinical Psychology
A small amount of OCD is needed for us to keep our homes and lives organized. Unfortunately, too much of it can result in checking to stove repeatedly to see if it was left on, or obsessive
hand-washing. The movie “As Good As It Gets” is an example of a man whose total existence is negatively
impacted by extreme OCD.

Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP)- a type of CBT- is the gold-standard treatment for OCD. We use ERP to treat all varieties of OCD, including contamination OCD, intrusive thoughts, perfectionism, symmetry OCD, harm OCD, scrupulosity OCD, and more.

Beatrice Ochieng
Counselor/Therapist, CCATP, LCPC
"I am a terrible person" - negative self-labeling emanating from automatic intrusive thoughts. The thoughts bring shame and guilt and you are afraid that if people could read your thoughts they would judge you. Also, compulsions that are repetitive and time consuming causing delays and conflict with other people. Constantly second-guessing yourself.

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.
