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.

Oceanside is a coastal city in northern San Diego County situated directly adjacent to Marine Corps Base Camp Pendleton, one of the largest Marine Corps installations in the country, and the city's mental health landscape is heavily shaped by the needs of active duty service members, veterans, and military families. Trauma, PTSD, military sexual trauma, deployment stress, and the challenges of military-to-civilian transition are among the most common concerns for therapists working in the area. San Diego County behavioral health services extend to Oceanside, and several private practices specialize specifically in military-affiliated populations. The city also has a growing civilian population of families and retirees attracted by its beaches and lower housing costs than central San Diego, and general therapy needs are well served by a broad network of local practitioners.
