OCD
Dr. Jenny Shields
Psychologist
When you have OCD, your thoughts don’t just feel intrusive—they feel relentless. Maybe you find yourself trapped in endless checking rituals, consumed by distressing “what-if” scenarios, or haunted by unwanted, disturbing images. Dr. Jenny Shields understands that OCD can feel profoundly isolating, particularly for high-achieving professionals who are used to trusting their own minds. By using evidence-based interventions like Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dr. Shields helps you gently face—and ultimately reclaim power over—obsessive thoughts and compulsive behaviors. Her approach is compassionate, empowering, and tailored specifically to you, helping restore a sense of trust and peace within yourself.

Charles R. Davenport, Psy.D.
Psychologist, Licensed Psychologist
Dr. Charles R. Davenport offers specialized treatment for individuals struggling with Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD). With extensive experience in managing OCD, Dr. Davenport utilizes evidence-based therapies to help clients reduce their symptoms and improve their quality of life.
OCD is characterized by intrusive thoughts (obsessions) and repetitive behaviors (compulsions) that can significantly interfere with daily functioning. Dr. Davenport employs cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), particularly Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP), to help clients confront their fears and reduce compulsive behaviors. This approach is highly effective in breaking the cycle of obsessions and compulsions.
In addition to CBT and ERP, Dr. Davenport integrates mindfulness techniques to help clients manage anxiety and stay grounded in the present moment. His holistic approach ensures that treatment is tailored to each client’s unique needs, promoting long-term recovery and emotional well-being.
Dr. Davenport provides a supportive and empathetic therapeutic environment where clients can feel safe to explore their thoughts and behaviors. He also offers telehealth services in over 40 states, making it convenient for clients to access high-quality care from the comfort of their own homes. Dr. Davenport is dedicated to helping individuals with OCD regain control of their lives and achieve lasting relief from their symptoms.

Greta Carlson, Psy.D., ABPP
Psychologist, Licensed Clinical Psychologist
I provide prolonged exposure (PE) therapy for OCD. In this type of treatment, you learn skills to regulate anxiety as it arises in response to environmental triggers, and work on using these skills in session when faced with a compulsion-triggering stimulus. We focus on psychoeducation on obsessional thinking and compulsive behavior patterns, and gradually work with you to use skills instead of engaging in compulsions, so you can have more time and and attention for your relationships, interests, and passions.

Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) traps you in a cycle of repetitive thoughts and behaviors, stealing moments of peace and creating barriers to living freely. The constant battle with uncertainty and the need for control can feel overwhelming, as if your own mind is both your sanctuary and prison.
