Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) can feel like being stuck in a loop of intrusive thoughts and behaviors that are hard to stop—even when you know they don’t make sense. It’s not about being “particular” or “organized”—it’s about feeling distressed and the need for relief. I provide a supportive, nonjudgmental space to help you understand your OCD and learn evidence-based strategies to reduce its hold on your life, including ERP and EMDR.

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.

Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) traps you in a cycle of repetitive thoughts and behaviors, stealing moments of peace and creating barriers to living freely.

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.

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.

Melissa Kummer Dague
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC
OCD has the ability to confuse, isolate and control. It often goes undiagnosed for years, and many clients do see hope to manage symptoms. I am trained in centered modality of Inference Based Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (ICBT) to address the symptoms of OCD without the use of exposure therapy. I would love to chat about how ICBT may be helpful to improve your symptoms, and quality of life.

Online in Houston, TX
Houston is one of the most ethnically diverse cities in the United States, and therapists here serve an extraordinarily wide range of cultural communities, with strong demand for bilingual and multicultural practitioners across its many distinct neighborhoods. The city's petrochemical industry and repeated major flooding events — including Hurricane Harvey — have made trauma, grief, and disaster recovery a persistent focus for many Houston therapists. Texas Medical Center, the largest medical complex in the world, provides an extensive institutional backdrop, with a large independent therapy community spread across the Heights, Montrose, and the Energy Corridor. Spanish, Vietnamese, Mandarin, Hindi, and Urdu-speaking therapists are all well represented in the Houston metro.
