OCD
Dr. Daniele Levy, Bay Area Cognitive Therapy
Psychologist, PhD, MBA
In treating OCD, I use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) with a focus on exposure and response prevention (ERP). This involves gradually confronting fears without engaging in compulsive behaviors, helping clients break the cycle of obsession and compulsion. Together, we challenge the irrational thoughts that drive your OCD, developing healthier responses and promoting greater flexibility around your thoughts and behaviors. My goal is to help you reduce the power OCD has in your life, improving your ability to function with confidence and calm.

Aaron Kapin
Somatic Experiencing Practitioner, SEP, LMT
If you have diagnosed obsessive compulsive disorder that's actively disrupting your life, make sure you find a specialist to work with.
If you have a specialist, or your tendencies are more mild (i.e. not an active threat to your health and well-being), let's talk. Somatic Experiencing has the potential to help you track with the physical aspect of a compulsion, that is, instead of thinking about what the urge is, you feel what the urge feels like.
It's hard to believe it till you experience it, but once you can find the physical aspect of a compulsion and learn to track it with some curiosity, it has the potential to change more quickly than addressing the specifics of the compulsion itself.
Again, this isn't a treatment for an OCD diagnosis, but it can be a great supplement to treatment, helping you feel safer and more settled in your body as you navigate this.

OCD
Heidi Hartston
Psychologist, PhD
I have several decades of experience working with OCD, intrusive thoughts, compulsive behaviors, unwanted images, reassurance seeking and relationship OCD. Although it can be a devastating experience and can cause a traumatic level of anxiety, OCD is very responsive to the right specialized treatments. I can help you individually to empower your true wise mind and to quiet the doubting voice. I can also help with families or parents who are navigating how to distinguish helping a child with OCD versus enabling. And I can work with couples where relationship OCD or another type of OCD may be causing a rift. I combine insightful, caring depth work with evidence based techniques like exposure and response prevention (E&RP) and CBT that effectively free you from obsessive-compulsive patterns, and help you to reclaim the balanced, happy life you deserve.

San Mateo is a Bay Area city on the Peninsula between San Francisco and Silicon Valley, part of one of the most expensive real estate markets in the world, and home to a large proportion of technology industry workers whose work-related stressors—alongside the intense financial pressure of Peninsula housing costs—shape much of the local mental health demand. The city has a significant East and Southeast Asian population, including large Filipino and Chinese-American communities, for whom culturally competent therapy that addresses specific cultural dynamics around family, stigma, and identity is an important consideration. A well-developed private therapy sector serves the affluent professional community, and telehealth has extended the effective therapy market across the Bay Area. Common therapy concerns include tech industry burnout, housing cost anxiety and financial stress, Asian-American identity and family dynamics, relationship difficulties, and the paradox of acute psychological distress in an objectively privileged material environment.
