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.

Middle Path Wellness Collective
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, LMSW, LPC, PLPC
We specialize in supporting clients living with obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), including intrusive thoughts, compulsive behaviors, mental rituals, and the persistent anxiety that accompanies them. Many clients with OCD feel trapped in cycles of doubt, fear, and urgency, often recognizing that their thoughts or behaviors don’t make logical sense but still feeling unable to stop. This can be exhausting, isolating, and deeply distressing. Our approach helps clients understand how OCD operates, reduce shame, and develop tools to respond to intrusive thoughts differently. We focus on helping clients build tolerance for uncertainty, reduce the power of compulsions, and regain a sense of freedom, control, and confidence in their daily lives.

Dr. Adam Shafer (Chicago, IL)
Psychologist, Psy. D., M.A.
Being restricted by intense worries about oneself and others can lead people into rigid routines that function to alleviate the intensity of their inner tensions, if only for a short time. People who are unable to break out from these patterns can become self-critical and lose a sense of hope that can be debilitating. It is important to remind ourselves in these instances that things can improve and that sometimes it may only take the effort to reach out for help.

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.

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.

Alexander Tice
Psychologist, PsyD
Dr. Tice specializes in the treatment of OCD, utilizing the "gold standard" treatment for OCD: Exposure and Response Prevention (E/RP). ERP is a highly effective intervention for OCD, and involves learning concrete skills for managing obsessive, intrusive thoughts and the corresponding distressing emotions. OCD manifests uniquely in each person, and Dr. Tice works with each client to identify their specific OCD experience, as well as the individualized treatment plan for them. ERP helps each person face their fears, and learn to be able to tolerate uncertainty and discomfort. Reach out if you have any questions about how ERP could be right for you!

Kansas City sits at the Missouri-Kansas border and draws clients from both states, with therapists well-versed in navigating Midwestern values, family expectations, and the tensions between tradition and personal growth. The city has a significant African American population and community-level trauma tied to historical redlining and economic inequality, driving demand for culturally affirming and social-justice-informed practitioners. The University of Kansas Health System and Saint Luke's Health System provide major institutional mental health resources for the region. Kansas City's art and music scene sustains a creative community with its own distinct mental health needs, and therapists familiar with the psychology of creative careers are present.
