OCD
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.

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
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.

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
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.

Joe Groninga
Psychologist, PsyD, LP
Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) can be a very debilitating set of symptoms and is something for which I use a therapy called Exposure and Response Prevention (ExRP or ERP). This therapy is widely considered to be the most effective treatment for OCD available. I will teach you how to approach situations that create obsessive thinking and emotional distress and how to simultaneously resist acting on urges to engage in your compulsive behavior. The result is the ability to be in these situations with significantly less distress and without overwhelming compulsive urges. People with OCD are typically amazed at what they can achieve through this therapy.

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.

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.

Jennifer L Abel
Psychologist, Ph.D.
I use primarily exposure and response prevention (ERP). I've treated dozens of people with OCD. I've always been keenly interested in OCD. My review comparing SSRIs (anti-depressants that help OCD) and ERP was published in the peer reviewed journal Behaviour Research & Therapy. I found that ERP is more effective unless you are severely depressed or have poor insight. Most people with OCD, at some level, understand their fears are unwarranted but feel they can't stop and realize they have OCD. If this describes you then you are likely to respond well to ERP.

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.

Toledo's post-industrial identity — shaped by the decline of its glass manufacturing and automotive parts sectors — creates a therapy landscape in which economic stress, unemployment-related depression, and the psychological effects of deindustrialization are recurring themes. The city has a large Hispanic population concentrated on the east side, and bilingual Spanish-speaking therapists serve an important access role for families where English is not the primary language. ProMedica Health System and Mercy Health provide major institutional mental health resources, while the University of Toledo's medical and psychology programs feed clinical training into the community. Toledo's location on the Michigan border means some residents also access care in the broader Detroit metro area.
