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.

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.

Grace in the Shadows
Licensed Professional Counselor, PhD, MDiv, MA, NCMHC, ALMHC, VALMHC, SCMHC, FLMHC, KYMHC, IDMHC
I address Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) with a compassionate and holistic approach, integrating psychological techniques with Christian principles. Recognizing the challenges of OCD, I create a therapeutic environment rooted in faith, incorporating prayer, scriptural reflection, and discussions on trust in God's plan. Evidence-based therapies such as Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT) are utilized to help individuals manage obsessions and compulsions, while spiritual practices are integrated to support the healing process. I guide clients in finding spiritual meaning and coping mechanisms aligned with their faith. Encouraging individuals to surrender perfectionism and fears to God, I foster a balance between psychological strategies and reliance on faith to navigate the journey towards healing and recovery from OCD.

Elisha S Lee
Counselor/Therapist, NCCA CTCC CPC
Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) counseling is a specially designed to help individuals who are struggling with the often debilitating symptoms of OCD. This mental health disorder is characterized by unwanted and intrusive thoughts (obsessions) that lead to repetitive behaviors or mental acts (compulsions). Our counseling services focus on providing varied approaches, such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP), to reduce the occurrence and impact of OCD symptoms, thereby improving daily functioning and quality of life.
Evidence-Based Treatment for OCD
* Tailored CBT Techniques: We utilize Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients identify and challenge the distorted thinking patterns that fuel their obsessions and compulsions.
* Exposure and Response Prevention: ERP involves gradually exposing clients to their feared objects or ideas (exposures) and teaching them to resist the urge to carry out their usual compulsive acts (response prevention).
* Skills Training: Clients are trained in stress management and relaxation techniques to help manage the anxiety that often accompanies OCD.
* Mindfulness and Acceptance: Incorporating elements of mindfulness helps clients learn to accept their obsessive thoughts without acting on them compulsively.
* Family Involvement: We provide support and education for families of individuals with OCD so that they can better understand the disorder and offer the right kind of support to their loved ones.
Goals of OCD Counseling
Our OCD counseling services strive to:
* Reduce OCD Symptoms: Aim to significantly decrease the frequency and severity of obsessions and compulsions.
* Increase Functionality: Help clients regain control over their lives and engage more fully with work, school, and social activities.
* Enhance Coping Skills: Equip individuals with tools and strategies to manage OCD symptoms independently and effectively.
* Improve Quality of Life: Focus on improving overall well-being, satisfaction, and happiness in life beyond OCD symptoms.
* Prevent Relapse: Provide clients with the knowledge and skills to maintain their progress and prevent the recurrence of severe OCD symptoms.

Meghan McGinn
Psychologist, PhD
Is OCD putting a strain on your relationship? You’re not alone. Think of OCD as a relentless bully, constantly dictating how you should act—or else. But this bully doesn’t just target you; it infiltrates your relationship, too. Your partner may feel pressured to follow certain behaviors dictated by OCD, and over time, that pressure can turn into frustration or resentment. When your partner pushes back, it might feel like hostility toward you. Now, you’re not only struggling with intrusive thoughts and anxiety but also the pain of feeling unsupported or blamed in your relationship. If this is your experience, working with a couple therapist that fully understands the nature of OCD is essential. Couple therapy can help you and your partner to develop a shared understanding of how to best respond when OCD shows up, so that you are united in taking a stand against this bully, rather than letting it come between you.

John Burkin
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC, LMHC, LPCC, LCPC, CPL, Registered Member MBACP
Obsessive-Compulsive and Related Disorders are an area I have specialized in for many years. I relate to the challenges clients face as many of the difficulties are ones I have faced myself over a lifetime. Symptoms from tics to intrusive, non-stop thoughts to compulsive acts are familiar. There are proven ways for us to quiet these challenges and I am ready to assist. Depending on the severity and disturbance you are experiencing I may recommend in concert with therapy you consider a psychiatric evaluation to consider whether a medical doctor determines if medication management is indicated as this would be outside my scope.

Wayne G. Siegel, PhD, ABPP
Psychologist, Clinical Psychology
Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) isn’t just about rituals or repetitive behaviors—it’s often driven by intrusive thoughts, doubt, and a relentless need for certainty. Whether you're managing contamination fears, moral scrupulosity, relationship doubts, or perfectionistic obsessions, I offer targeted, evidence-based treatment designed to interrupt the cycle and restore clarity.
My approach integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP), and Inference-Based Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (I-CBT)—a specialized model for treating obsessional doubt and inferential confusion. We’ll map your obsessional sequences, identify cognitive distortions, and build a personalized toolkit for reclaiming agency over your thoughts and behaviors.
Treatment is structured, collaborative, and grounded in scientific research. I also provide custom psychoeducation materials, obsessional mapping worksheets, and values-based decision tools to support long-term resilience. Whether you're a healthcare professional, entrepreneur, or someone navigating OCD behind a high-functioning exterior, we’ll build a roadmap that respects your intelligence and equips you for change.
