South Psychology
Psychologist, PhD
South Psychology specializes in providing evidence-based mental health therapy and assessment services for individuals facing the challenges of Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD). Our dedicated team is committed to guiding you toward healing and empowerment.
Our Approach:
Individualized Therapy: We create a safe space where you can explore your obsessive thoughts and compulsive behaviors. Our evidence-based approaches help you manage anxiety, reduce distress, and regain control.
Cognitive-Behavioral Techniques: Through cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), we address intrusive thoughts and ritualistic behaviors. You’ll learn practical strategies to break free from the OCD cycle.
Holistic Healing: Beyond therapy sessions, we consider lifestyle factors, coping mechanisms, and overall well-being. Our goal is to empower you toward a more balanced life.
How We Can Help:
Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP): ERP is a cornerstone of OCD treatment. We guide you through gradual exposure to triggers while resisting compulsions.
Supportive Environment: South Psychology provides a nonjudgmental space where transformation is possible.
Skills Building: Learn techniques to challenge irrational thoughts and develop healthier habits.

OCD
Jason Herr
Psychologist, Psy.D.
I help individuals build a stronger and more stable sense of self-worth. Drawing on extensive clinical experience working with a wide range of concerns—including anxiety, depression, trauma, personality dynamics, and life transitions across community mental health and private practice settings—I support clients in identifying patterns of self-criticism, perfectionism, and self-doubt that interfere with growth. Together, we develop greater self-awareness, confidence, and emotional resilience so clients can approach relationships, work, and personal goals with a stronger sense of identity and self-trust.

Dr. Yanet Vanegas
Psychologist, PsyD
My experience in treating Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) with Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) therapy has been both rewarding and transformative. With a deep understanding of the underlying mechanisms of OCD, I guide individuals through a structured and evidence-based approach to confronting their fears and breaking free from the cycle of obsessions and compulsions. Through systematic exposure to anxiety-provoking stimuli and prevention of ritualistic behaviors, I help clients gradually build tolerance to their distress and learn more adaptive ways of coping.
