Growth and Change Counseling
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) is a control issue that is used to compensate for the fact that a person feels completely out of control. This disorder can have physiological consequences that can cause physical harm and results in lower seratonin levels in the body. As we support you in reducing anxiety and stresses and increasing your sense of control over multiple aspects of your life, you can begin to experience a reduction in your OCD tendencies and/or find it easier to manage them.

Louisa Lombard
Licensed Professional Counselor, LCPC, LPCC, PPS
OCD can be mild to debilitating, and is often missed and treated as anxiety. I've found that OCD and Health Anxiety, as well as Body Focused Repetitive Behaviors (BFRBs, ie. skin picking, hair pulling/tweezing, nail/cuticle biting) can sometimes co-exist together. I'm trained in treating OCD through two of the primary evidence based OCD treatment modalities -Inference-Based Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (I-CBT) and Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP/ExRP). I-CBT is a newer evidence based treatment for OCD that focuses on gaining certainty versus pushing yourself into uncertainty, and is thought to be a gentler approach. There are many types of OCD and the thought-based "invisible" types are the most often missed forms of OCD, often called the "Pure O subtype" meaning that the obsessions/thoughts are there, but that the compulsions are mental and not outwardly visible, as we've come to expect from what we see about OCD in the media/social media. There are many forms of OCD, including Postpartum OCD, Relational (romantic as well as platonic) OCD, Harm OCD, Perfectionism/Just Right OCD, Contamination OCD, Scrupulosity or Religious OCD, Checking OCD, Obsessional OCD, Sexual Orientation OCD, Pedophilia OCD, and Superstitious OCD, among others. I'm trained in treating BFRBs using multiple modalities including, Habit Reversal Training, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Comprehensive Model for the Behavioral Treatment of BFRB and DBT, which help to reduce the symptoms of BFRBs.

Hailey Goldberg
Registered Social Worker, Registered Social Worker (MSW), DBT-Linehan Board of Certification, Certified Clinician™
I provide support for individuals experiencing OCD, particularly when intrusive, unwanted thoughts are creating significant distress or interfering with daily life. Many people with OCD worry that their thoughts mean something about who they are or what they might do, leading to significant fear, shame, self-doubt, and attempts to gain certainty or reassurance. In therapy, I provide a compassionate, non-judgmental space to explore these experiences and better understand how OCD can become stuck in cycles of fear and compulsive responding.
Using evidence-based approaches, I help clients learn new ways of relating to intrusive thoughts so they have less power and influence over daily life. Whether your OCD involves themes related to harm, relationships, sexuality, morality, health, or other unwanted thoughts, my goal is to help you build confidence in your ability to tolerate uncertainty and live in accordance with your values rather than your fears.

Jennifer Bearden
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
When unwanted thoughts and compulsions take over, you lose precious energy and freedom. We'll work to change your relationship with these intrusive thoughts, helping you see them as just thoughts, not facts, so they lose their grip. Through a "parts work" approach, we will gently explore the underlying function of the OCD—often driven by protective, highly-concerned "parts" seeking safety—to help them relax their extreme roles. You'll learn how to accept discomfort without acting on the compulsion, choosing instead to commit to actions aligned with your truest self. Our goal is to shift your focus from constant struggle to meaningful living.

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.
