OCD
Gail Kirk Poust
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
OCD is a bully that takes your values hostage. It finds what you care about most (your loved ones' safety, your goodness, your faith, your relationship) and turns it into unwanted thoughts you can't shake and rituals you can't skip: checking, washing, confessing, mentally reviewing, asking for reassurance one more time. The relief never lasts, and the loop keeps tightening. Here's what I want you to know: intrusive thoughts are not intentions, and being horrified by a thought is proof of your values, not evidence against them. I treat OCD with ERP (Exposure and Response Prevention), the gold-standard approach. It is collaborative, paced, never sprung on you. I also treat postpartum OCD, where intrusive thoughts about your baby leave you terrified and silent. That, too, is treatable, and having the thought is not the same as being a danger. The thoughts have had the last word long enough.

OCD
David Sudyka
Marriage and Family Therapist, Marriage & Family Therapist, LMFT, MA
OCD can involve intrusive thoughts and repetitive behaviors that feel difficult to control, even when you know they do not make sense. It can take up a lot of mental energy and interfere with your daily life. In therapy we will focus on understanding these patterns and developing ways to respond differently to the thoughts and urges. The goal is to help you feel less controlled by OCD and more able to move through your day with ease.

Sacramento is the state capital with a large government and public sector workforce, and therapists here frequently address the particular stresses of public service careers, bureaucratic work environments, and the emotional toll of policy work. The city's location in the Central Valley means it serves diverse communities including large Latino, Southeast Asian, and Hmong populations, with demand for culturally competent and multilingual therapists well established. UC Davis Health provides major institutional mental health resources, with a growing private practice community serving Midtown, East Sacramento, Land Park, and the surrounding suburbs. Sacramento's lower cost of living relative to the Bay Area has attracted many therapists from the region, expanding the range of available care.
