Pasadena, California therapist: Mind Pulse Center, licensed mental health counselor
OCD

Mind Pulse Center

Licensed Mental Health Counselor
At Mind Pulse Center, we recognize that OCD is not just about habits or routines—it’s a deeply rooted neurological condition that can cause intense, intrusive thoughts and compulsive behaviors. Our approach combines advanced brain-based treatments like Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) with individualized care to target the specific brain circuits involved in obsessive thinking and anxiety. By using precise, evidence-based protocols and compassionate guidance, we help patients reduce the intensity and frequency of their obsessions and compulsions. Our goal is to empower individuals to regain control, find peace of mind, and live more freely without being trapped by the cycles of OCD.

OCD

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.

Los Angeles, California therapist: Timothy Weymann, licensed clinical social worker
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.
