OCD
Gail Kirk Poust
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
Sometimes worries don't make sense, make us do things a certain way, take up time in our day, are embarrassing, or are scary. If any of these are true for you, then it is possible you have OCD. Fortunately, there are science-backed strategies that can help you get a handle on your worries and get your time back. I use Exposure and Response Prevention to give you the tools you need to take charge of your life again.

I work with clients struggling with OCD by offering psychoeducation and resources to help them understand the condition and its impact. I use a combination of EMDR, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and other modalities to address the underlying thoughts and behaviors associated with OCD.

OCD
Holly Hoffman, PsyD, Psychotherapy
Psychologist, Licensed Clinical Psychologist in CA & NY
I specialize in treating OCD using Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP), the gold-standard, evidence-based approach for reducing obsessions and compulsions. Through ERP, we gradually and collaboratively face the thoughts, images, and situations that trigger anxiety, while resisting the urge to engage in rituals or avoidance behaviors. Alongside ERP, I integrate Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help clients develop greater psychological flexibility — learning how to make room for uncomfortable thoughts and feelings without letting them dictate their actions. My approach focuses not just on symptom reduction, but on building a life guided by personal values, even in the presence of uncertainty or fear.

Aaron Kapin
Somatic Experiencing Practitioner, SEP, LMT
If you have diagnosed obsessive compulsive disorder that's actively disrupting your life, make sure you find a specialist to work with.
If you have a specialist, or your tendencies are more mild (i.e. not an active threat to your health and well-being), let's talk. Somatic Experiencing has the potential to help you track with the physical aspect of a compulsion, that is, instead of thinking about what the urge is, you feel what the urge feels like.
It's hard to believe it till you experience it, but once you can find the physical aspect of a compulsion and learn to track it with some curiosity, it has the potential to change more quickly than addressing the specifics of the compulsion itself.
Again, this isn't a treatment for an OCD diagnosis, but it can be a great supplement to treatment, helping you feel safer and more settled in your body as you navigate this.

Timothy Weymann
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, Licensed Clinical Social Worker (L.C.S.W.)
Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) can feel exhausting and isolating—like your mind won’t give you a moment of rest. The intrusive thoughts, doubts, and urges to perform rituals can create a relentless cycle of anxiety and temporary relief with a rebound of increased anxiety and distress. As a therapist who works with OCD, I provide a supportive, structured space to help you break that cycle and regain a sense of choice and power over your life. Using evidence-based approaches such as Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) and cognitive-behavioral strategies, we’ll work together to gradually reduce the power of intrusive thoughts and compulsions. Therapy is not about eliminating thoughts—it’s about changing your relationship to them so they no longer dictate your actions or define who you are. My approach is compassionate, collaborative, and steady. I understand how real and distressing OCD can feel, and I will never minimize your experience. With the right support and tools, it’s possible to live with greater freedom, flexibility, and peace of mind. You don’t have to face OCD alone.
