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.

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.

Lisa H Lang, Ph.D.
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC, LMFT, CCBT, CCHT
With obsessive-compulsive disorder, it`s as though the brain gets stuck on a particular thought, urge or behavior.
Obsessions are thoughts, and impulses that occur over and over again and seem to be out of control.
Obsessions are accompanied by a sense that things must be done in a way that is "just so"--perfectionism that becomes problematic.
People with OCD attempt to make their obsessions go away by performing compulsive behaviors.
Compulsions are acts performed over and over again.
The compulsive rituals are performed to obtain relief from the discomfort caused by the obsessive thoughts and impulses.
OCD symptoms can occur in people of all ages.
Normal worries and fears may increase during times of stress.
These symptoms become OCD when they persist, make no sense, seem out of control, and interfere with normal functioning.
Understand your symptoms and learn what to do about them by using cognitive behavioral skills.
The goal is to change your thought patterns to gain a sense of control and well-being.

Crystal Williamson
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW-S
OCD has unique challenges and can sometimes masquerade as anxiety from an outsiders' view. I use a type of therapy called Inference-based Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (I-CBT) that helps a person with OCD better understand how their triggers and doubts are formed so that we can learn to stop obsessions before they suck us in to compulsive behavior.

Austin's explosive tech-industry growth has brought an influx of young professionals navigating burnout, identity shifts, and the pressures of rapid lifestyle change in an increasingly expensive city. The city has a large LGBTQ+ community and strong demand for affirming therapists specializing in gender identity, relationship dynamics, and life transitions. The University of Texas and major hospital systems including Ascension Seton and St. David's HealthCare provide supplementary mental health resources alongside the city's growing network of private practices. Many Austin therapists offer telehealth, making it easier to find care across the wider metro and surrounding Hill Country communities.
