OCD is interesting in that it could have trauma based origins, physiological origins, including epigenetic, or could be an adaptive response to something that is currently challenging. First is to decipher where the origin is as best as one can, in general an integrative and functional approach may work well, as it could be based in metabolic deficiency, for example. Shared with care: in certain cases, we have witnessed it might evolve in people or communities where power abuse is rampant -- these compulsions can set in as ways to adapt to holding maladaptive and abusive thinking and distracting a person from the inhumanity and incoherence of the abusive thinking they have been groomed to take on. This is not written about from a hegemonic perspective, however decolonizing theory will find these challenges of OCD and even paranoia heightened in people or communities that habituate enacting atrocities. This is not trauma it is an expression of intensive moral injury and benefits from interrupting the moral injury and moving the person into ethical recovery of their humanity. Contrapositively, trauma impactees may show OCD traits as a way of the mind distracting from torture or other forms of recurring harm psychologically (e.g repeated and intensive gaslighting), physically, sexually...etc. Here we would apply a trauma based approach to care along with Havening, Brainspotting and other ways to soothe a nervous system and restore mental networks as best we can/ Please feel free to ask if you have more questions.

Beverly Hills, California therapist: Alyssa Habschmidt, therapist
OCD

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.

Los Angeles, California therapist: Karen Petren, licensed clinical social worker
OCD

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.

Minneapolis, Minnesota therapist: Wayne G. Siegel, PhD, ABPP, psychologist
OCD

Wayne G. Siegel, PhD, ABPP

Psychologist, Clinical Psychology
Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) isn’t just about rituals or repetitive behaviors—it’s often driven by intrusive thoughts, doubt, and a relentless need for certainty. Whether you're managing contamination fears, moral scrupulosity, relationship doubts, or perfectionistic obsessions, I offer targeted, evidence-based treatment designed to interrupt the cycle and restore clarity. My approach integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP), and Inference-Based Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (I-CBT)—a specialized model for treating obsessional doubt and inferential confusion. We’ll map your obsessional sequences, identify cognitive distortions, and build a personalized toolkit for reclaiming agency over your thoughts and behaviors. Treatment is structured, collaborative, and grounded in scientific research. I also provide custom psychoeducation materials, obsessional mapping worksheets, and values-based decision tools to support long-term resilience. Whether you're a healthcare professional, entrepreneur, or someone navigating OCD behind a high-functioning exterior, we’ll build a roadmap that respects your intelligence and equips you for change.

New York City, New York therapist: Len Ramsay, registered psychotherapist
OCD

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.

Oakland, California therapist: Holly Hoffman, PsyD, Psychotherapy, psychologist
OCD

Holly Hoffman, PsyD, Psychotherapy

Psychologist, Licensed Clinical Psychologist in CA & NY
I specialize in treating OCD using Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP), the gold-standard, evidence-based approach for reducing obsessions and compulsions. Through ERP, we gradually and collaboratively face the thoughts, images, and situations that trigger anxiety, while resisting the urge to engage in rituals or avoidance behaviors. Alongside ERP, I integrate Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help clients develop greater psychological flexibility — learning how to make room for uncomfortable thoughts and feelings without letting them dictate their actions. My approach focuses not just on symptom reduction, but on building a life guided by personal values, even in the presence of uncertainty or fear.
