Dr. Daniele Levy, Bay Area Cognitive Therapy
Psychologist, PhD, MBA
In treating OCD, I use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) with a focus on exposure and response prevention (ERP). This involves gradually confronting fears without engaging in compulsive behaviors, helping clients break the cycle of obsession and compulsion. Together, we challenge the irrational thoughts that drive your OCD, developing healthier responses and promoting greater flexibility around your thoughts and behaviors. My goal is to help you reduce the power OCD has in your life, improving your ability to function with confidence and calm.

Eve Angela Fritsch
Marriage and Family Therapist, M.A.
OCD is more than being organized or liking things a certain way. It can involve unwanted thoughts, persistent doubt, and compulsive behaviors that become exhausting. Therapy can help you better understand OCD, reduce its hold on your life, and regain a sense of freedom in your thoughts.

Heidi Hartston
Psychologist, PhD
I have several decades of experience working with OCD, intrusive thoughts, compulsive behaviors, unwanted images, reassurance seeking and relationship OCD. Although it can be a devastating experience and can cause a traumatic level of anxiety, OCD is very responsive to the right specialized treatments. I can help you individually to empower your true wise mind and to quiet the doubting voice. I can also help with families or parents who are navigating how to distinguish helping a child with OCD versus enabling. And I can work with couples where relationship OCD or another type of OCD may be causing a rift. I combine insightful, caring depth work with evidence based techniques like exposure and response prevention (E&RP) and CBT that effectively free you from obsessive-compulsive patterns, and help you to reclaim the balanced, happy life you deserve.

Karen Petren
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
I have been training in ERP (exposure response prevention), the gold standard in OCD treatment. Rather than simply talking about it, ERP directly targets the engine that keeps OCD going. Believe it or not, you can learn to face the trigger and not do the compulsion. “I can handle this…and nothing bad happens.” It is very effective and rewarding to see clients with OCD find relief and enjoy life.

Jennifer Warkentin
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
Obsessive-compulsive disorder is a type of anxiety where people ruminate over distressing thoughts and then engage in repetitive behaviors or mental acts as a way of managing the obsessive thoughts. It can take many forms with varying levels of intensity. OCD is typically treated with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy combined with Exposure Response Prevention. We will explore the thoughts and compulsions you're experiencing and create a robust plan of changing your experience of anxiety.

Monica M. Huston
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
Obsessive-compulsive patterns often involve intrusive thoughts and repetitive behaviors that can feel difficult to control. I work with individuals to understand the underlying anxiety and internal pressure driving these cycles, rather than only focusing on symptom reduction. Therapy supports increased awareness, greater tolerance for uncertainty, and more flexibility in responding to distressing thoughts and urges.

Danielle Esses
Psychologist, PsyD
OCD often involves intrusive thoughts and urges to reduce anxiety through compulsions or mental rituals (including overthinking). Treatment focuses on helping you change your relationship to these thoughts and reduce compulsive behaviors, drawing from evidence-based approaches while also attending to the broader emotional context.

Alyssa Habschmidt
Therapist, AMFT
You feel trapped in a cycle of intrusive thoughts or repetitive behaviors. Your mind feels out of control. You might replay conversations, repeat certain words or phrases, constantly check for danger, or struggle to quiet thoughts that won't go away. If you live with obsessive thoughts or repetitive behaviors, you already know how exhausting and draining it can be. Even though you know the worries aren't logical, they still feel consuming and impossible to control.
OCD often develops as a way to cope with deeper fears, emotions, or unresolved experiences. The thoughts and behaviors may serve as an attempt to create safety, certainty, or relief from emotional discomfort—even if they ultimately leave you feeling stuck or fearful.
Together, we will help you gain clarity and understand your fears. From understanding, you can then move forward with self-awareness and develop greater autonomy in how you react to your thoughts and feelings. You gain greater control over your mind, hence allowing you to shift your behavior and break free from the obsessive thinking and repetitive behaviors. I provide a warm, safe, and collaborative space to explore your relationship to OCD and help you gain relief from it.

Len Ramsay
Registered Psychotherapist, Gestalt Therapist , M.B.A.
Obsession. Compulsion. Addiction. These are first cousins, thoughts and actions that seem to happen all on their own volition. In my work, there is always something good about these 3 amigos - or they would not be here in your life. The work is to discover what that is, and like in the serentiy prayer: Deal with what you can change, accept what you can't , and know the difference. Sometimes it means changing a belief, sometimes a field or environmental condition... sometimes taking care of some emotions hiding in dark places.
