Sara Denman
Psychologist, Psy.D
OCD falls under the anxiety umbrella. Often it actually begins as a coping technique to help manage anxiety but can then take on a life of its own. As a result, new ways to manage anxiety in addition to methods to decreasing OCD behavior and thoughts are required to overcome 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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.
