David B. Shaw, Ph.D.
Psychologist, Ph.D.
In my treatment for OCD, I provide a specialized approach centered on Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP), the gold standard for breaking the cycle of intrusive thoughts and repetitive behaviors. I work closely with you to identify your triggers and develop structured exercises that help you face fears without relying on compulsions, gradually reducing their power over your life. By combining this with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), I empower you to reframe your relationship with uncertainty and regain the freedom to focus on what truly matters.

Johanna Wood, Leap Counseling and Consultation
Psychologist, PhD, LP
I specialize in Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) for OCD. My clients typically have tried therapy before, but have not seen much improvement. They continue living in fear, anxiety, and guilt, as their lives continue getting smaller and smaller. This is because OCD requires specialized treatment. Coping skills are great, but they can only get you so far. In fact, when it comes to OCD, they could be making things worse! The good news is, there are science-backed treatments for OCD with decades of research showing that they actually work. If you're ready to stop coping and start living, take a leap of faith and reach out.
My style is structured and balances use of the latest science with compassion and understanding. My goal is to make you feel heard, and feel challenged. I serve adults with primary issues of OCD, and I also address co-occurring anxiety disorders, depression, insomnia, body-focused repetitive behaviors, and trauma, using cognitive-behavioral therapies. I address all forms of OCD, but I have a special interest in scrupulosity (religious- and moral-based) OCD. I love helping people stop letting their OCD hijack their sources of meaning and get back to having faith in faith again.

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.

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.

Andrew McBride
Licensed Professional Counselor, MC, LCMHC, LPC
Do you experience unwanted negative thoughts and feeling compelled or forced to fixate on those thoughts or engage in some type of behavior? OCD makes it feel like we don't have control of our behavior and our lives. This is very overwhelming and quickly creates emotions of guilt, shame, and hopelessness. When treating OCD, I used a treatment called Exposure and Response Prevention, which is considered the gold standard treatment for OCD. I also sprinkle in some CBT, DBT, and other techniques that support ERP.

Restored Counseling & Wellness Center, PLLC
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT, LPC, NMD
OCD is frequently misunderstood — and undertreated as a result. At Restored, our therapists work with clients experiencing obsessive thoughts and compulsive patterns with specialized, evidence-informed approaches that go beyond surface-level coping. We also recognize the significant overlap between OCD, anxiety, trauma, and nervous system dysregulation, and tailor our approach accordingly — addressing the whole picture rather than a single diagnosis.

Aaron Kapin
Somatic Experiencing Practitioner, SEP, LMT
If you have diagnosed obsessive compulsive disorder that's actively disrupting your life, make sure you find a specialist to work with.
If you have a specialist, or your tendencies are more mild (i.e. not an active threat to your health and well-being), let's talk. Somatic Experiencing has the potential to help you track with the physical aspect of a compulsion, that is, instead of thinking about what the urge is, you feel what the urge feels like.
It's hard to believe it till you experience it, but once you can find the physical aspect of a compulsion and learn to track it with some curiosity, it has the potential to change more quickly than addressing the specifics of the compulsion itself.
Again, this isn't a treatment for an OCD diagnosis, but it can be a great supplement to treatment, helping you feel safer and more settled in your body as you navigate this.

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.
