OCD
Innovative Counseling Partners, LLC & Jennifer Froemel
Licensed Professional Counselor, LCPC
I see the therapeutic process as myself guiding my clients through difficult situations to move forward in life, and feel more energized. My clients say that I supportively nudge them along and that our therapeutic rapport is what helps them better find themselves.

OCD
Dr. Adam Shafer (Chicago, IL)
Psychologist, Psy. D., M.A.
Being restricted by intense worries about oneself and others can lead people into rigid routines that function to alleviate the intensity of their inner tensions, if only for a short time. People who are unable to break out from these patterns can become self-critical and lose a sense of hope that can be debilitating. It is important to remind ourselves in these instances that things can improve and that sometimes it may only take the effort to reach out for help.

I specialize in treating OCD in teens and young adults and utilize evidence-based approaches such as CBT, ERP, and ACT to help my clients feel more in control of their intrusive thoughts and compulsive behaviors. I understand the shame and guilt that can attach to OCD, and work hard to provide a safe environment for my clients.

OCD
Nicole Houde
Pre-Licensed Professional
I work with individuals experiencing OCD using Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP), the gold standard treatment for OCD. OCD often involves intrusive thoughts and compulsive behaviors that can feel distressing and difficult to control. In therapy, we focus on gradually facing feared thoughts and situations while reducing compulsive responses, helping you build tolerance for uncertainty and anxiety. I also incorporate ACT-based strategies to support a different relationship with intrusive thoughts, so they have less impact on your daily life and you can move toward what matters most to you.

Patrick R. Gunderson, Ph.D., PLLC
Psychologist, PhD
I utilize Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) interventions, which are designed to help you confront your fears and prevent the behavioral responses that contribute to avoidance patterns. In and out of session, I initiate activities that expand your comfort zone in order to face the things that keep you in a consistent state of anxiety.

OCD
Jameeka Moore
Psychologist, PsyD
Are you finding yourself growing increasingly frustrated with OCDs demands and limitations that it places on your life? Are your relationships or other areas of your life suffering because of the behaviors that you feel compelled to do or because of your inability to show up in the ways that you would like. Are you finding it difficult to break the cycle out of the fear of the anxiety and uncertainty that you would experience if you did not comply? I would like to help you break the cycle of giving in to your OCD. I want to help you better understand OCDs tricks and develop willingness and courage to help you learn to challenge OCD so that you can live in accordance with your values. I use Exposure and Response Prevention, which is an effective treatment approach that can help you better manage your anxiety and regain areas of your life that have been impacted due to OCD.

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.

Annette Popernik
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
OCD is a companion. It accompanies us, even when we don't want it to. Sometimes we have rumination and spiraling thoughts that don't go away. (obsession) and we feel that doing a particular thing or thinking a particular thing over and over (compulsion) will make it better. It's okay to struggle with this cycle. You are not bad or flawed. You struggle with OCD. I am highly experienced in exposure and response prevention therapy to help manage OCD. Let's talk about it.

OCD
Wayne G. Siegel, PhD, ABPP
Psychologist, Clinical Psychology
Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) isn’t just about rituals or repetitive behaviors—it’s often driven by intrusive thoughts, doubt, and a relentless need for certainty. Whether you're managing contamination fears, moral scrupulosity, relationship doubts, or perfectionistic obsessions, I offer targeted, evidence-based treatment designed to interrupt the cycle and restore clarity.
My approach integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP), and Inference-Based Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (I-CBT)—a specialized model for treating obsessional doubt and inferential confusion. We’ll map your obsessional sequences, identify cognitive distortions, and build a personalized toolkit for reclaiming agency over your thoughts and behaviors.
Treatment is structured, collaborative, and grounded in scientific research. I also provide custom psychoeducation materials, obsessional mapping worksheets, and values-based decision tools to support long-term resilience. Whether you're a healthcare professional, entrepreneur, or someone navigating OCD behind a high-functioning exterior, we’ll build a roadmap that respects your intelligence and equips you for change.
