Jason Herr
Psychologist, Psy.D.
I help individuals build a stronger and more stable sense of self-worth. Drawing on extensive clinical experience working with a wide range of concerns—including anxiety, depression, trauma, personality dynamics, and life transitions across community mental health and private practice settings—I support clients in identifying patterns of self-criticism, perfectionism, and self-doubt that interfere with growth. Together, we develop greater self-awareness, confidence, and emotional resilience so clients can approach relationships, work, and personal goals with a stronger sense of identity and self-trust.

Annette Popernik
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
OCD is a companion. It accompanies us, even when we don't want it to. Sometimes we have rumination and spiraling thoughts that don't go away. (obsession) and we feel that doing a particular thing or thinking a particular thing over and over (compulsion) will make it better. It's okay to struggle with this cycle. You are not bad or flawed. You struggle with OCD. I am highly experienced in exposure and response prevention therapy to help manage OCD. Let's talk about it.

OCD
Bergen Counseling Collective
Counselor/Therapist, LCPC
The thoughts won't stop. You know they don't make sense, or at least part of you knows, but the anxiety is so intense that you do the ritual anyway. Check again. Wash again. Replay the thought until you're sure, except you're never really sure. People who don't have OCD don't understand how consuming it is, how much mental energy it takes, how exhausting it is to fight your own brain all day. We understand OCD and how to treat it effectively. That means evidence-based approaches, not just talk therapy, that help you break the cycle of obsession and compulsion and reclaim your life from the disorder. Telehealth throughout Illinois. BCBS PPO and Aetna accepted.

Greta Carlson, Psy.D., ABPP
Psychologist, Licensed Clinical Psychologist
I provide prolonged exposure (PE) therapy for OCD. In this type of treatment, you learn skills to regulate anxiety as it arises in response to environmental triggers, and work on using these skills in session when faced with a compulsion-triggering stimulus. We focus on psychoeducation on obsessional thinking and compulsive behavior patterns, and gradually work with you to use skills instead of engaging in compulsions, so you can have more time and and attention for your relationships, interests, and passions.

Obsessive – Compulsive Disorder (OCD) is a condition that involves unwanted intrusive thoughts, images or urges.

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.

Julien Moe
Hypnotherapist, Diploma in Clinical and Applied Hypnosis, Diploma in Life Coaching
OCD is not really an issue if you know how to deal with it. I have been helping my clients with this issue administering hypnotherapies and Dicit hypnotherapy. My clients with this disorder are getting resilient in no time. Now that they can live in peace with no intrusive thoughts.
Hypnotherapy is generally considered a complementary tool, rather than a primary cure, for OCD, designed to reduce anxiety and assist in managing symptoms. It can help patients, as described by Psychology Today, by inducing deep relaxation, reducing fear, and aiding in shifting focus away from obsessions.

Matthew Syzdek
Psychologist, PhD, LP, MBA
If you can't turn off your mind and your thoughts are taking over your life, there is a path forward towards a more fulfilling life. Don't gamble when choosing a therapist. You deserve a psychologist who will adapt the best science to your specific needs and goals. Many therapists themselves are burned out and can't give the best care to their clients. Dr Syzdek built a small boutique practice where he limits the number of clients he treats, so he can give his clients the time, thought, and dedication that they deserve. Dr Syzdek combines compassion with the science of behavior change to help you make the the difficult decisions in life and take action, so you can live a happier life, thrive at work, love your relationships, and have fun again. Dr Syzdek treats OCD and related conditions typically using Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and exposure therapies. These approaches combine mindfulness, acceptance, and cognitive strategies to help you live your life again and find relief from the the struggle.

Resolve Counseling PLLC
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, MSW, LCSW
OBSESSIVE-COMPULSIVE DISORDER (OCD) is a common and chronic mental health disorder characterized by recurrent, unwanted thoughts (obsessions) and/or repetitive behaviors (compulsions). These symptoms can significantly interfere with a person's daily activities and sense of control.
EXPOSURE AND RESPONSE PREVENTION (ERP) THERAPY ERP is a form of cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) specifically designed to treat anxiety disorders, particularly obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD). It involves gradually exposing individuals to feared objects or situations while preventing them from engaging in their usual rituals or compulsions. This process helps clients confront their fears and learn that they can tolerate anxiety without resorting to compulsive behaviors.

Lora Proia/ Centered Village LLC Counseling & Therapy
Licensed Professional Counselor, NCC, LCPC, LPC
As a therapist specializing, I help clients disentangle from the exhausting cycle of intrusive thoughts and compulsive behaviors that OCD and Obsessive Compulsive like behaviors bring. I have worked with many that have OCD although not certified yet in ERP I do pull from that modality. My treatment empowers individuals to face feared situations without resorting to rituals. I work collaboratively, helping clients build tolerance for uncertainty and reclaim control over their lives. OCD is relentless—but with the right tools and support, it becomes manageable, and life can feel expansive again.
