Meghan McGinn
Psychologist, PhD
Is OCD putting a strain on your relationship? You’re not alone. Think of OCD as a relentless bully, constantly dictating how you should act—or else. But this bully doesn’t just target you; it infiltrates your relationship, too. Your partner may feel pressured to follow certain behaviors dictated by OCD, and over time, that pressure can turn into frustration or resentment. When your partner pushes back, it might feel like hostility toward you. Now, you’re not only struggling with intrusive thoughts and anxiety but also the pain of feeling unsupported or blamed in your relationship. If this is your experience, working with a couple therapist that fully understands the nature of OCD is essential. Couple therapy can help you and your partner to develop a shared understanding of how to best respond when OCD shows up, so that you are united in taking a stand against this bully, rather than letting it come between you.

Marcy Miller
Pre-Licensed Professional, Ph.D.
OCD can feel like being caught in a loop. When intrusive thoughts create distress, certain behaviors or mental rituals offer temporary relief but ultimately keep the cycle going. Many people also experience shame or confusion about the content of their thoughts, which can make it even harder to seek support.
In our work together, we’ll focus both on the structure of OCD and your unique emotional experience within it. Rather than treating intrusive thoughts as problems to eliminate, we’ll work to change your relationship to them, with growing awareness, flexibility, and tolerance.
I integrate exposure-informed strategies with a deeper, emotion-focused approach, helping you gradually reduce compulsive patterns while also understanding the anxiety and meaning attached to them. This work is collaborative and paced, supporting you in building confidence, reducing avoidance, and reconnecting with a greater sense of freedom in your life.

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.

Lynette Cisneros
Counselor/Therapist, LCMHC, LMHC
I work with clients who struggle with OCPD which presents largely with perfectionism across various aspects of one's life including setting unrealistic standards for self and others. Obsessive compulsive personality disorder tendencies link closely with anxiety, thought spirals, obsessive thinking, compulsive behaviors and there can be a genetic predisposition that should be acknowledged. We will work to reframe and challenge the thinking behind the triggers and limit the distress which accompanies them while decreasing the problematic behaviors. Our goal may be to strive for an increased awareness and then an increased intentional response.

Sarah Farris
Licensed Professional Counselor, MA, LCPC, LPC
Obsessive – Compulsive Disorder (OCD) is a condition that involves unwanted intrusive thoughts, images or urges. As a result, individuals with OCD feel driven to reduce the distress they experience by engaging in compulsions. I utilized evidence-based therapy including cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT and I-CBT), exposure and response prevention (ERP), and mindfulness methods to help clients struggling with Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD), Illness Anxiety, and co-occuring conditions. Breaking the overthinking, avoidance and rumination cycle is possible.

OCD is more than being organized or liking things a certain way. It can involve unwanted thoughts, persistent doubt, and compulsive behaviors that become exhausting. Therapy can help you better understand OCD, reduce its hold on your life, and regain a sense of freedom in your thoughts.
