Merrisa Dawn Santos
Licensed Professional Counselor, MA, LPC, NCC, CCTMHP, CCTP
In supporting patients struggling with OCD issues, I provide compassionate and evidence-based interventions to help them manage their symptoms and improve their quality of life. Through therapy, we work on understanding the underlying fears and compulsions driving their OCD behaviors. I offer cognitive-behavioral techniques such as exposure and response prevention to help them gradually confront and reduce their obsessive thoughts and compulsive behaviors. Additionally, we focus on developing coping strategies, relaxation techniques, and mindfulness practices to manage anxiety and stress. The goal is to empower patients to regain control over their lives and engage in meaningful activities, despite their OCD symptoms, leading to greater freedom and well-being.

Resolve Counseling PLLC
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, MSW, LCSW
OBSESSIVE-COMPULSIVE DISORDER (OCD) is a common and chronic mental health disorder characterized by recurrent, unwanted thoughts (obsessions) and/or repetitive behaviors (compulsions). These symptoms can significantly interfere with a person's daily activities and sense of control.
EXPOSURE AND RESPONSE PREVENTION (ERP) THERAPY ERP is a form of cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) specifically designed to treat anxiety disorders, particularly obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD). It involves gradually exposing individuals to feared objects or situations while preventing them from engaging in their usual rituals or compulsions. This process helps clients confront their fears and learn that they can tolerate anxiety without resorting to compulsive behaviors.
