San Diego, California therapist: Dr. Divya Kakaiya Healthy Within, psychologist
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.

Hailey Williford

Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
In my practice, I enjoy working with clients experiencing symptoms of OCD including but not limited to: intrusive and or distressing thoughts, compulsions, reassurance seeking, difficulty in relationships (including ROCD), specific phobias, etc. I utilize Exposure and Response prevention Therapy (ERP) to manage anxious reactions to triggers.

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.

Los Angeles, California therapist: Eve Angela Fritsch, marriage and family therapist
OCD

Eve Angela Fritsch

Marriage and Family Therapist, M.A.
OCD is more than being organized or liking things a certain way. It can involve unwanted thoughts, persistent doubt, and compulsive behaviors that become exhausting. Therapy can help you better understand OCD, reduce its hold on your life, and regain a sense of freedom in your thoughts.
