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.

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.

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.

Matthew Syzdek
Psychologist, PhD, LP, MBA
If you can't turn off your mind and your thoughts are taking over your life, there is a path forward towards a more fulfilling life. Don't gamble when choosing a therapist. You deserve a psychologist who will adapt the best science to your specific needs and goals. Many therapists themselves are burned out and can't give the best care to their clients. Dr Syzdek built a small boutique practice where he limits the number of clients he treats, so he can give his clients the time, thought, and dedication that they deserve. Dr Syzdek combines compassion with the science of behavior change to help you make the the difficult decisions in life and take action, so you can live a happier life, thrive at work, love your relationships, and have fun again. Dr Syzdek treats OCD and related conditions typically using Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and exposure therapies. These approaches combine mindfulness, acceptance, and cognitive strategies to help you live your life again and find relief from the the struggle.

Willow & Arbor, PLLC

OCD is often met with advice to ignore intrusive thoughts or 'just relax.' These well meaning but unhelpful attempts can leave someone struggling with OCD to sink further and further into self-loathing and blame, ultimately feeding and emboldening the OCD. We will work through the history of your OCD experience, help you identify how OCD manifests, collaborate with you to validate and strengthen your authentic self, and also develop strategies for recovery.

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.

Memphis has among the highest rates of poverty and violent crime in the United States, and its therapists frequently specialize in trauma, PTSD, and the psychological effects of chronic community-level violence and economic stress. The city's African American community — which comprises a majority of the population and carries a rich cultural heritage rooted in blues, soul, and civil rights history — drives strong demand for culturally affirming therapists who understand racial trauma and intergenerational resilience. Regional One Health and Baptist Memorial Health Care provide major institutional mental health resources alongside a growing network of community clinics. Memphis's deep musical identity sustains a creative community with its own distinctive mental health needs around artistic expression, economic precarity, and the weight of legacy.
