OCD
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.

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.

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.

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.

Empowered Wellbeing, Decolonizing Intersectional and Integrative Complex Trauma & Dissociation Recovery Support
Life Coach, view my credentials online at: www.recoveringfromwithin.com/credentialslongform
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/

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
