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.

Dr. Mike Strand
Psychologist, PsyD
Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) traps you in a cycle of repetitive thoughts and behaviors, stealing moments of peace and creating barriers to living freely. The constant battle with uncertainty and the need for control can feel overwhelming, as if your own mind is both your sanctuary and prison. My specialized OCD treatment offers a pathway out, equipping you with strategies to break free from these cycles, regain control, and embrace the spontaneity of life with confidence.

Joe Groninga
Psychologist, PsyD, LP
Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) can be a very debilitating set of symptoms and is something for which I use a therapy called Exposure and Response Prevention (ExRP or ERP). This therapy is widely considered to be the most effective treatment for OCD available. I will teach you how to approach situations that create obsessive thinking and emotional distress and how to simultaneously resist acting on urges to engage in your compulsive behavior. The result is the ability to be in these situations with significantly less distress and without overwhelming compulsive urges. People with OCD are typically amazed at what they can achieve through this therapy.

Wayne G. Siegel, PhD, ABPP
Psychologist, Clinical Psychology
Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) isn’t just about rituals or repetitive behaviors—it’s often driven by intrusive thoughts, doubt, and a relentless need for certainty. Whether you're managing contamination fears, moral scrupulosity, relationship doubts, or perfectionistic obsessions, I offer targeted, evidence-based treatment designed to interrupt the cycle and restore clarity.
My approach integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP), and Inference-Based Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (I-CBT)—a specialized model for treating obsessional doubt and inferential confusion. We’ll map your obsessional sequences, identify cognitive distortions, and build a personalized toolkit for reclaiming agency over your thoughts and behaviors.
Treatment is structured, collaborative, and grounded in scientific research. I also provide custom psychoeducation materials, obsessional mapping worksheets, and values-based decision tools to support long-term resilience. Whether you're a healthcare professional, entrepreneur, or someone navigating OCD behind a high-functioning exterior, we’ll build a roadmap that respects your intelligence and equips you for change.

Christine Highfill
Licensed Professional Counselor, LCPC-S
Living with Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) can feel exhausting, with intrusive thoughts, images, or urges that seem impossible to quiet, and repetitive behaviors or rituals that feel necessary just to get through the day. OCD is not about being “overly neat”—it’s about anxiety, uncertainty, and the need for relief from distressing thoughts. In therapy, I provide evidence-based support (including ERP, CBT, and mindfulness strategies) in a safe, non-judgmental space. Together, we’ll work to reduce the power of obsessions, ease compulsions, and build healthier coping strategies so you can feel more in control and free to live your life with greater balance and peace.

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.

Dr. Patricia Webbink
Psychologist, MA and PhD in Clinical Psychology
One could say that we all need a bit of Obsessive Compulsiveness to keep our homes and lives organized, but too much of it can result in dysfunctional behaviors like repeatedly checking the stove to see if it was left on, obsessive hand-washing irritating one's skin, etc. The movie “As Good As It Gets” is an example of a man whose total existence is negatively impacted by extreme Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD). Check out my monthly, free, zoom seminars. Please feel free to call for further information and/or a consultation: 301-229-8000.

Dr. Jenny Shields
Psychologist
When you have OCD, your thoughts don’t just feel intrusive—they feel relentless. Maybe you find yourself trapped in endless checking rituals, consumed by distressing “what-if” scenarios, or haunted by unwanted, disturbing images. Dr. Jenny Shields understands that OCD can feel profoundly isolating, particularly for high-achieving professionals who are used to trusting their own minds. By using evidence-based interventions like Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dr. Shields helps you gently face—and ultimately reclaim power over—obsessive thoughts and compulsive behaviors. Her approach is compassionate, empowering, and tailored specifically to you, helping restore a sense of trust and peace within yourself.

Kreins Psychological Services
Psychologist, PhD, PsyD
As a psychologist specializing in obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), my treatment approach is tailored to address the unique symptoms and challenges experienced by each individual. Through evidence-based therapies such as cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), particularly exposure and response prevention (ERP), I work collaboratively with clients to identify and challenge obsessive thoughts and compulsive behaviors. By gradually exposing individuals to feared stimuli while refraining from engaging in compulsions, we aim to reduce anxiety and disrupt the cycle of obsessions and compulsions. Additionally, I incorporate mindfulness techniques and acceptance-based strategies to help clients develop a more adaptive relationship with uncertainty and discomfort. Psychoeducation plays a crucial role in enhancing understanding of OCD and building skills for long-term management. My goal is to empower individuals to regain control over their lives, reduce OCD symptoms, and improve overall quality of life.
