Dr. Maxwell Rappoport

For obsessive-compulsive disorder, I primarily use Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP), the gold-standard treatment for OCD, often combined with CBT and Mindfulness strategies. This work helps reduce compulsive behaviors, loosen the grip of intrusive thoughts, and restore freedom in daily life.

Growth and Change Counseling
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) is a control issue that is used to compensate for the fact that a person feels completely out of control. This disorder can have physiological consequences that can cause physical harm and results in lower seratonin levels in the body. As we support you in reducing anxiety and stresses and increasing your sense of control over multiple aspects of your life, you can begin to experience a reduction in your OCD tendencies and/or find it easier to manage them.

OCD
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.

Heidi Hartston
Psychologist, PhD
I have several decades of experience working with OCD, intrusive thoughts, compulsive behaviors, unwanted images, reassurance seeking and relationship OCD. Although it can be a devastating experience and can cause a traumatic level of anxiety, OCD is very responsive to the right specialized treatments. I can help you individually to empower your true wise mind and to quiet the doubting voice. I can also help with families or parents who are navigating how to distinguish helping a child with OCD versus enabling. And I can work with couples where relationship OCD or another type of OCD may be causing a rift. I combine insightful, caring depth work with evidence based techniques like exposure and response prevention (E&RP) and CBT that effectively free you from obsessive-compulsive patterns, and help you to reclaim the balanced, happy life you deserve.

Karen Petren
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
I have been training in ERP (exposure response prevention), the gold standard in OCD treatment. Rather than simply talking about it, ERP directly targets the engine that keeps OCD going. Believe it or not, you can learn to face the trigger and not do the compulsion. “I can handle this…and nothing bad happens.” It is very effective and rewarding to see clients with OCD find relief and enjoy life.
