OCD
Dr. Divya Kakaiya Healthy Within
Psychologist, Licensed Clinical Psychologist Ph. D M.S. BCN-L
OCD is a brain stuck in a loop — hyperactive circuits between the orbital frontal cortex and deeper subcortical structures firing relentlessly, generating intrusive thoughts and compelling rituals that feel impossible to resist.
Neurofeedback targets this overactive circuitry directly, training the brain to quiet the alarm system driving compulsive behavior. Over sessions, the loop loosens — intrusive thoughts lose their neurological grip, and the urgency to ritualize gradually diminishes.

Jennifer Warkentin
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
Obsessive-compulsive disorder is a type of anxiety where people ruminate over distressing thoughts and then engage in repetitive behaviors or mental acts as a way of managing the obsessive thoughts. It can take many forms with varying levels of intensity. OCD is typically treated with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy combined with Exposure Response Prevention. We will explore the thoughts and compulsions you're experiencing and create a robust plan of changing your experience of anxiety.

Escondido is an inland North San Diego County city with a majority Latino population and a character that distinguishes it from the coastal communities most associated with San Diego, and its mental health landscape reflects the economic pressures, immigration-related stress, and community challenges of a working-class city navigating rapid suburban growth alongside significant social needs. Spanish-language therapy is essential in Escondido, and bilingual practitioners who can work culturally competently with Mexican-American and immigrant communities are in significant demand. San Diego County behavioral health services extend to Escondido, and a private therapy sector serves those in a position to access it. Common therapy concerns include anxiety, depression, family and relationship stress, acculturation challenges, and the economic pressures of living in one of California's most expensive regions while working in agriculture, construction, or the service sector.
