Heinig Health and Wellness Counseling
Psychologist, Ph.D. Clinical Psychology, M.S. Health Psychology, M.A. Clinical Psychology, PSYPACT Providers
We provide specialized, evidence-based treatment for Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) using Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) and Inference-Based Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (I-CBT). Our approach helps clients reduce the cycle of obsessions and compulsions by gradually confronting feared thoughts, sensations, or situations while learning to resist compulsive behaviors. I-CBT further supports clients in understanding how doubt-based reasoning can drive obsessive thinking and helps them reconnect with more grounded, reality-based interpretations. Treatment is collaborative and paced to each individual, with the goal of reducing distress, increasing psychological flexibility, and improving daily functioning and quality of life.

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.

XaHara A. MeGod
Licensed Professional Counselor, MA, LCPC, R-DMT, CPT
Obsessive-compulsive patterns often keep you trapped in cycles of fear and ritual. I offer compassionate support that acknowledges how anxiety lives in the body. We’ll gently identify triggers, reduce shame around intrusive thoughts, and build flexibility. While I use exposure-informed tools, our work remains body-based and culturally sensitive to your unique experience.

Maria Jose Rendon
Psychologist, Ph.D.
I work with adults navigating OCD, including contamination-focused presentations and relationship OCD, using Exposure and Response Prevention, the gold-standard, evidence-based treatment for OCD, trained through the IOCDF. Many of my OCD clients are professionals or scientists whose perfectionism and OCD feed each other, or first-generation Latinx adults for whom family or cultural expectations add another layer to their intrusive thoughts. I offer sessions in English or Spanish.

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.

Sarah Jacques
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSWC-C
OCD can feel overwhelming—endless intrusive thoughts, rituals, or “what if” cycles that leave you drained and stuck. I use evidence-based approaches, including Inference-Based CBT (I-CBT), to help you break free from these patterns and regain control of your life. In therapy, you’ll learn to respond differently to intrusive thoughts, reduce compulsions, and build resilience so anxiety doesn’t dictate your every move.

Jennifer Whaley
Psychologist, PsyD
OCD results in great distress and fear for day-to-day tasks and situations. It is our human nature to try to quell this fear; however, this can be part of what keeps the cycle going. I use an exposure based approach (ERP) of exploring your fears and responses while gaining confidence through practicing actions.

Dr. Stephanie Vaughn
Psychologist, Psy.D., DBT-LBC™
Exposure and Response Prevention (EX/RP) is the way to go, here. Did you know that there is such as thing as "Pure obsessive" or "Pure O" OCD? Not all OCD involves behavioral compulsions such as counting or hand washing. Some of it is mental compulsions only! Unless you're a true expert, diagnosing OCD can be extremely difficult. Misdiagnoses can be dangerous and costly.

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.

Debra Nelson
Psychologist, Psy.D.
Exposure and Response prevention is a very specific therapy to address concerns related to Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD). Within this therapy model, we would work together to generate a hierarchy of events or stumbling blocks getting in your way. We then create challenges for concurring each obstacle using learned coping skills from session.

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.

Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) counseling is a specially designed to help individuals who are struggling with the often debilitating symptoms of OCD. This mental health disorder is characterized by unwanted and intrusive thoughts (obsessions) that lead to repetitive behaviors or mental acts (compulsions). Our counseling services focus on providing varied approaches, such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP), to reduce the occurrence and impact of OCD symptoms, thereby improving daily functioning and quality of life.
Evidence-Based Treatment for OCD
* Tailored CBT Techniques: We utilize Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients identify and challenge the distorted thinking patterns that fuel their obsessions and compulsions.
* Exposure and Response Prevention: ERP involves gradually exposing clients to their feared objects or ideas (exposures) and teaching them to resist the urge to carry out their usual compulsive acts (response prevention).
* Skills Training: Clients are trained in stress management and relaxation techniques to help manage the anxiety that often accompanies OCD.
* Mindfulness and Acceptance: Incorporating elements of mindfulness helps clients learn to accept their obsessive thoughts without acting on them compulsively.
* Family Involvement: We provide support and education for families of individuals with OCD so that they can better understand the disorder and offer the right kind of support to their loved ones.
Goals of OCD Counseling
Our OCD counseling services strive to:
* Reduce OCD Symptoms: Aim to significantly decrease the frequency and severity of obsessions and compulsions.
* Increase Functionality: Help clients regain control over their lives and engage more fully with work, school, and social activities.
* Enhance Coping Skills: Equip individuals with tools and strategies to manage OCD symptoms independently and effectively.
* Improve Quality of Life: Focus on improving overall well-being, satisfaction, and happiness in life beyond OCD symptoms.
* Prevent Relapse: Provide clients with the knowledge and skills to maintain their progress and prevent the recurrence of severe OCD symptoms.
OCD counseling is a path toward reclaiming a sense of normalcy and freedom from the cycles of obsessive-compulsive behaviors. Our commitment lies in delivering compassionate and competent care tailored to each individual’s experience.

Leslie Worley
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW-C
At Waves of Wisdom Therapy, treatment for OCD is about learning how to live meaningfully with the presence of obsessional doubts. We will learn how to make room for the full range of human experience without being pulled under the current of the OCD cycle.
All of the work we do is grounded in Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT). ACT reminds us that pain is inevitable, but suffering is optional. We can’t control our thoughts or emotions, but we can choose how we respond to them, and in doing so, move toward a life guided by purpose, presence, and self-compassion.
From this foundation, we integrate two powerful, evidence-based methods: Inference-Based Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (I-CBT) and Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) in order to help you understand and change the patterns that keep OCD alive.
