OCD
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.

Healing OCD from Within: An Integrated IFS & EFT Approach
OCD can feel like a relentless, hijacking force—a cycle of fear, urgent demands, and exhausting compulsions that leaves you feeling disconnected from yourself. As a therapist trained in Internal Family Systems (IFS) and Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), I offer a compassionate, non-pathologizing approach that goes beyond just managing symptoms.
With IFS, we won't fight your OCD; we will get to know it. We will treat the obsessions and compulsions as protective "parts" of your internal system—managers and firefighters that are trying to keep you safe from deep-seated fears or past pain (exiles). By helping you access your core "Self" (a place of calm, curiosity, and compassion), we can unblend from these intense parts, understand their positive intent, and help them trust you to manage life without extreme, rigid behaviors.
With EFT, we will focus on the emotional undertones—the shame, overwhelming anxiety, and, often, attachment-related fears that fuel the OCD. We will explore these raw, primary emotions to transform how you respond to uncertainty, building emotional regulation and creating a sense of inner security.
Together, this integrated approach helps you move from being a prisoner of your thoughts to leading your internal system with compassion, fostering lasting, self-driven healing.

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.

Dr. Mike Strand

Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) traps you in a cycle of repetitive thoughts and behaviors, stealing moments of peace and creating barriers to living freely. The constant battle with uncertainty and the need for control can feel overwhelming, as if your own mind is both your sanctuary and prison.

Patrick Powers
Marriage and Family Therapist, PhD, LMFT
OCD is my passion and my first reason for becoming a therapist. I have extensive background in and have been certified by the International OCD Foundation and Massachusetts General Hospital in the use of gold standard treatments. I use Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) coupled with cognitive work, while taking care to consider and address life context and attachment issues at play for my clients. Treatment is difficult but I love playing the role of encouraging coach throughout the process. I also have a particular comfort with the sorts of obsessions people often feel terrified to bring up to anyone, including therapists. I love working with intrusive thoughts about anything- relationships, existential fears, sexual orientation, incest, pedophilia, harm...you name it. We really can talk about it. It's not a big deal.

Amanda Butler
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder often involves intrusive thoughts and repetitive behaviors that can feel difficult to control. Therapy focuses on helping clients understand how these cycles develop and how to respond to them more effectively. I work with individuals to reduce the intensity of obsessive thinking and build tolerance for uncertainty. The goal is greater freedom from the patterns that maintain OCD.

Salt Lake City is the world headquarters of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, and this religious and cultural reality profoundly shapes the city's therapy landscape — with therapists who can work thoughtfully within LDS family frameworks, navigate faith transitions, and understand the particular psychological pressures of a community where cultural and religious expectations are deeply intertwined serving an essential role. The city's growing tech industry — part of the 'Silicon Slopes' corridor — creates additional demand for therapists experienced with startup culture, high-performance careers, and the particular identity challenges of building secular professional lives in a deeply religious community. University of Utah Health and Intermountain Medical Center provide major institutional mental health resources alongside a well-developed private therapy community. Salt Lake City's significant LGBTQ+ population — navigating identity in a predominantly LDS cultural context — creates consistent demand for affirming therapists who understand the intersection of queer identity and religious community.
