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.

Cynthia Cerrato

As someone that is actively working on managing and healing from OCD, I understand that OCD can be a challenging and often isolating condition, characterized by persistent, intrusive thoughts and compulsive behaviors that can disrupt daily life. Through a safe and compassionate framework, I am dedicated to providing a safe, non-judgmental environment where clients can explore their experiences with OCD. In our sessions, I emphasize empowerment and resilience, guiding clients toward reclaiming control over their lives. Whether you are struggling with intrusive thoughts, compulsions, or anxiety related to OCD, I am here to support you on your journey. Together, we will work toward reducing the impact of OCD, promoting healing, and fostering a more balanced, fulfilling life.

We support clients who live with OCD through an integrative approach, offering supportive talk therapy that helps you connect with yourself and increase alignment and self compassion, alongside the cognitive behavioral therapies I-CBT and ERP that help you learn to identify the obsessive compulsive loop, step away from it, and gradually decrease your engagement in any compulsions that might be getting in the way of your life.

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.
