Aaron Kapin
Somatic Experiencing Practitioner, SEP, LMT
If you have diagnosed obsessive compulsive disorder that's actively disrupting your life, make sure you find a specialist to work with.
If you have a specialist, or your tendencies are more mild (i.e. not an active threat to your health and well-being), let's talk. Somatic Experiencing has the potential to help you track with the physical aspect of a compulsion, that is, instead of thinking about what the urge is, you feel what the urge feels like.
It's hard to believe it till you experience it, but once you can find the physical aspect of a compulsion and learn to track it with some curiosity, it has the potential to change more quickly than addressing the specifics of the compulsion itself.
Again, this isn't a treatment for an OCD diagnosis, but it can be a great supplement to treatment, helping you feel safer and more settled in your body as you navigate this.

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.

Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
When Your Mind Won’t Stop Looping
If you live with obsessive thoughts or repetitive behaviors, you probably already know how exhausting it can be. You might spend hours replaying what you said, checking if something bad might happen, or trying to get rid of thoughts that won’t leave you alone. Even though you know the worries aren’t logical, they still feel impossible to control. OCD isn’t about being “neat” or “organized.” It’s about anxiety that latches onto what matters most to you — your safety, your relationships, your values — and tricks your brain into thinking you need to keep checking or fixing something to feel okay.
In our work together, we’ll use a structured, evidence-based approach that combines TEAM-CBT with Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) — the gold-standard treatment for OCD. You’ll learn how to:
Break free from obsessive loops by gently facing feared thoughts instead of avoiding them
Reduce compulsions and checking behaviors step by step, in a safe, guided way
Calm the anxiety that drives the urge to control or neutralize uncertainty
Understand and retrain the beliefs that keep OCD patterns alive
Build confidence in your ability to handle discomfort without giving in to rituals
Our sessions are structured, compassionate, and active. You’ll track progress weekly and practice small daily exercises that teach your brain new patterns of safety and trust. Over time, what once felt unbearable starts to lose its power.
I BELIEVE:
OCD doesn’t define you — it’s a pattern your brain learned, and it can learn new ones.
Courage isn’t the absence of fear; it’s doing what matters while fear is present.
Recovery happens one small exposure at a time, not in giant leaps.
You deserve freedom from the constant “what ifs” that steal your peace.
Humor and self-compassion are essential tools in healing — not luxuries.
Also Integrated In Our Work:
• Interpersonal Work – to strengthen connection and empower you to be yourself using The 5 Secrets of Effective Communication
• Mindful Self-Compassion – to cultivate a gentler, kinder inner voice through the work of Dr. Kristin Neff
• Trauma Resiliency Model (TRM) – to regulate the nervous system and support trauma recovery alongside cognitive tools for a well-rounded approach

OCD
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.

OCD
Gail Kirk Poust
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
OCD is a bully that takes your values hostage. It finds what you care about most (your loved ones' safety, your goodness, your faith, your relationship) and turns it into unwanted thoughts you can't shake and rituals you can't skip: checking, washing, confessing, mentally reviewing, asking for reassurance one more time. The relief never lasts, and the loop keeps tightening. Here's what I want you to know: intrusive thoughts are not intentions, and being horrified by a thought is proof of your values, not evidence against them. I treat OCD with ERP (Exposure and Response Prevention), the gold-standard approach. It is collaborative, paced, never sprung on you. I also treat postpartum OCD, where intrusive thoughts about your baby leave you terrified and silent. That, too, is treatable, and having the thought is not the same as being a danger. The thoughts have had the last word long enough.

OCD
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.

OCD
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.
