Obssessive compulsive behaviors can arise in many forms. Sometimes in certain ways of repetitive thinking, ruminating and/or behaviors that have to ritualistically be done. Also, compulsive behaviors can be acted out in substances, shopping or eating that feels out of control. At these times, you may feel very trapped and out of control of your life. Often this can result in feelings of anxiety, depression and guilt.
Developing a therapeutic relationship can help you begin to address and identify the meaning of these symptoms that complicate and limit your life. A supportive, empathic and compassionate relationship with a therapist can be the beginning step to assist you in resolving these issues.

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.

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. 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.
