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.

Dr. Colby Cohen-Archer
Psychologist, PhD
Do you experience intrusive unwanted and distressing images or thoughts? Feel like there are things you have to count, check, Google, or think through in order to feel better? OCD, especially when it shows up after childbirth, is often misunderstood, and can make every part of life harder. I use evidence based treatments, including ERP, to help you get free of the OCD voice. Therapy focuses on breaking unhelpful patterns, building confidence to face uncertainty, and identifying what is most important and meaningful to you. Therapy for OCD is both supportive and active. Together we will create a step by step plan to get your life back from OCD, and I will be with you every step of the way. A life of freedom from constant fear and time consuming rituals is possible!

Pamela Angel
Counselor/Therapist, LPC
I specialize in OCD because it is a highly misunderstood and often misdiagnosed condition that demands specialized, evidence-based care to treat effectively. While "talk therapy" can sometimes worsen symptoms, specialized Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP)—the gold standard of care—provides tangible, life-changing results.
I am passionate about helping clients break the cycle of obsession and compulsion, shifting them from debilitating fear to confidence and freedom. My focus is on providing a safe, stigma-free space for individuals to tackle their hardest fears and regain control of their lives.

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.

David Schaffer, MSW
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (WV), Licensed Independent Social Worker (OH)
I particularly like working with people who experience anxiety of all forms. The first area of anxiety I developed a special interest in is Obsessive Compulsive Disorder. It really strikes me how "crazy" people feel when they struggle with obsessive thoughts and the compulsions that go along with them. When you are able to help people change their reaction to their obsessive thoughts, it is remarkable the improvement they can experience.
I enjoy the whole range of anxiety disorders from the worry of generalized anxiety to the body focus of panic to the avoidance reminders of traumatic experiences from posttraumatic stress. It feels like this is an area where I understand people's experiences and where the ways I tend to work with people seem to make a difference, often very quickly.

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.

Columbus is home to Ohio State University — one of the largest universities in the country — creating sustained demand for therapists specializing in academic pressure, young adult identity, and sports psychology. The city's position as Ohio's state capital and a growing tech and healthcare hub has accelerated demographic change, with therapists increasingly addressing burnout and adjustment among a fast-growing professional population. OhioHealth, Nationwide Children's Hospital, and the Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center provide major institutional mental health anchors for the region. Columbus also has one of the largest Somali communities in the United States, making culturally competent and multilingual therapists who specialize in refugee trauma and identity an important part of the local therapy landscape.
