OCD
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.

Jason Holland
Psychologist, Ph.D.
OCD is not just about being careful or particular. It is a cycle of intrusive thoughts and urges that create distress and pull you into behaviors meant to reduce anxiety. We will work on understanding your OCD pattern and changing how you respond to uncertainty. The goal is to reduce OCD’s control and help you live with more freedom and flexibility.

Living with OCD can be exhausting — intrusive thoughts and compulsive behaviors can take over your day, disrupt your focus, and leave you feeling frustrated or ashamed.

Through evidence-based approaches like Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP), therapy can help you break free from the cycle, reduce anxiety, and reclaim your time and mental space.

OCD
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.

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.

Nicole Walton
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, PhD, MSW, LISW-S
Obsessive Compulsive Disorder can be a huge disruption to your daily life. But you don't need to be afraid and you don't need to deal with it on your own. I will provide a nonjudgmental, warm, and collaborative environment to hear and address your needs so that together we can address your OCD. We will work together to address the possible underlying causes of your OCD, the symptoms and also identify a variety of strategies and methods to help you cope. I have had great success working with clients that have OCD so that they could live a life full of health and wellness and I hope I have a chance to work with you as well.

OCD
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.

OCD
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.

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.

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.

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.
