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.

Dr. Jeannine Pablo
Psychologist, LP, LCMHC, MLADC
Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder can trap individuals in exhausting cycles of unwanted thoughts and repetitive, time-consuming behaviors. Utilizing Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), I help clients safely confront their obsessions without relying on compulsions. Our work focuses on breaking the anxiety loop, building distress tolerance, and helping you reclaim control over your time, mind, and daily functioning.

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.

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!

Nour Counseling
Counselor/Therapist
OCD is often misunderstood as being about neatness or liking things a certain way—but for people actually living with it, it can feel relentless. Intrusive thoughts that don’t match your values, urges that don’t make sense, and mental or behavioral rituals that temporarily reduce anxiety but keep the cycle going. It can be exhausting, confusing, and isolating—especially when the content of the thoughts feels disturbing or hard to talk about. Many people spend a lot of time trying to manage or hide it, while also questioning themselves in the process.
At Nour Counseling, we take OCD seriously and we treat it directly. We help you understand how the OCD cycle works—why the thoughts stick, why the anxiety spikes, and how compulsions reinforce the pattern. From there, we use structured, evidence-based approaches to help you gradually face what feels uncomfortable without relying on rituals, so your brain can learn something different. We also tailor this work to your real life, taking into account your values, your environment, and the cultural or religious context that may shape how OCD shows up for you. This is active, collaborative work focused on helping you feel less controlled by the cycle and more able to move through your life with freedom and clarity.

Dr. Stephanie Vaughn
Psychologist, Psy.D., DBT-LBC™
Exposure and Response Prevention (EX/RP) is the way to go, here. Did you know that there is such as thing as "Pure obsessive" or "Pure O" OCD? Not all OCD involves behavioral compulsions such as counting or hand washing. Some of it is mental compulsions only! Unless you're a true expert, diagnosing OCD can be extremely difficult. Misdiagnoses can be dangerous and costly.
