Obsessive thoughts and compulsive behaviors can feel exhausting and overwhelming. Therapy helps address both the symptoms and the underlying emotional experiences that may contribute to the cycle.

Amazing Grace Psychiatric Services, PLLC
Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner, PMHNP, CNM, PMH-C
Intrusive thoughts are unwelcomed in our brain as much as an intruder is unwelcomed in our home. These thoughts increase anxiety to the point where a compulsive behavior develops in attempt to alleviate the anxiety. This relief is short-lived, however, and the cycle starts all over again. This is exhausting for the individual, and often is very misunderstood by those around them. Let's put an end to this cycle by discovering the source of what's causing it, and find the right therapeutic solution for you!

Sarah Jacques
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSWC-C
OCD can feel overwhelming—endless intrusive thoughts, rituals, or “what if” cycles that leave you drained and stuck. I use evidence-based approaches, including Inference-Based CBT (I-CBT), to help you break free from these patterns and regain control of your life. In therapy, you’ll learn to respond differently to intrusive thoughts, reduce compulsions, and build resilience so anxiety doesn’t dictate your every move.

Jason Holland
Psychologist, Ph.D.
OCD is not just about being careful or particular. It is a cycle of intrusive thoughts and urges that create distress and pull you into behaviors meant to reduce anxiety. We will work on understanding your OCD pattern and changing how you respond to uncertainty. The goal is to reduce OCD’s control and help you live with more freedom and flexibility.

Dr. Mike Strand
Psychologist, PsyD
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. My specialized OCD treatment offers a pathway out, equipping you with strategies to break free from these cycles, regain control, and embrace the spontaneity of life with confidence.

Leslie Worley
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW-C
At Waves of Wisdom Therapy, treatment for OCD is about learning how to live meaningfully with the presence of obsessional doubts. We will learn how to make room for the full range of human experience without being pulled under the current of the OCD cycle.
All of the work we do is grounded in Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT). ACT reminds us that pain is inevitable, but suffering is optional. We can’t control our thoughts or emotions, but we can choose how we respond to them, and in doing so, move toward a life guided by purpose, presence, and self-compassion.
From this foundation, we integrate two powerful, evidence-based methods: Inference-Based Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (I-CBT) and Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) in order to help you understand and change the patterns that keep OCD alive.

Tracey Knows
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC
Living with OCD can feel exhausting, with intrusive thoughts, compulsions, and fear-driven behaviors taking over daily life. I help individuals learn how to embrace and accept their tendencies rather than fight against them, reducing the shame and anxiety that often accompany OCD. Through Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP), mindfulness, and cognitive techniques, I guide clients in disrupting irrational fears and thought spirals while building resilience against intrusive thoughts. My approach also focuses on calming the nervous system, reducing panic attacks, and fostering a greater sense of self-trust and emotional regulation.

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.

Alton Wampler
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC-S
From an Internal Family Systems perspective, obsessive-compulsive symptoms are often understood as protective parts that use intrusive thoughts and compulsive behaviors to prevent feared harm or reduce anxiety. These parts are typically attempting to protect more vulnerable exiled parts that carry fear, uncertainty, or a need for control and safety. Therapy focuses on helping clients access Self to build a compassionate relationship with these parts, allowing the system to reduce reliance on compulsions as underlying fears are addressed.

Arlington is home to the Pentagon and a concentration of federal government, defense contracting, and intelligence community workers that gives it a distinctive therapy clientele — people who often cannot openly discuss their work, carry significant stress related to security clearances, and navigate the psychological weight of careers lived at the intersection of policy and national security. The county is one of the most educated and affluent in the United States, with a population that is generally comfortable seeking therapy and financially able to engage in longer-term work. Virginia Hospital Center and the broader Northern Virginia healthcare ecosystem provide institutional mental health resources alongside one of the most established private practice communities in the Washington DC metro area. Arlington's large Latinx population — concentrated in the Columbia Pike corridor — creates important demand for Spanish-speaking and culturally affirming therapists alongside the predominantly white-collar therapy clientele.
