OCD
Richard Scott, Ph.D.
Psychologist, Ph.D.
Living with OCD can be exhausting — intrusive thoughts and compulsive behaviors can take over your day, disrupt your focus, and leave you feeling frustrated or ashamed. But OCD is treatable, and you don’t have to manage it on your own. Through evidence-based approaches like Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP), therapy can help you break free from the cycle, reduce anxiety, and reclaim your time and mental space. If you're ready to loosen OCD’s grip on your life, I’m here to help you take that first step.

Karen E Hellenberg
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, MSW, LCSW
Obsessive Compulsive Disorders try to maintain a high level of control of your thoughts promising you relief, but that usually never happens. But the good news is that neuroscience has revealed to us that we can change the thought process and significantly decrease the compulsions of fear, avoidance and repetitive unwanted thoughts and behaviors to gain natural relief.

OCD
Edmund LaBarbara
Psychologist, PsyD
I specialize in helping adults navigate severe and complex Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) and related conditions. Because OCD operates on cycles of intense anxiety and exhausting behavioral or mental compulsions, traditional talk therapy is rarely enough. You need a targeted, evidence-based approach designed specifically for this disorder.
During our initial sessions, we will thoroughly explore how OCD shows up in your life—identifying your unique triggers, avoidance patterns, and reassurance-seeking loops. Together, we will build a highly personalized treatment plan centered around Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP), the gold standard for OCD recovery. We will also integrate Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and mindfulness practices to help you build distress tolerance and psychological flexibility.

OCD
Kate Winderman
Psychologist, Ph.D., LP
OCD can be an incredibly debilitating and scary experience. Whether you have been formally diagnosed in the past, or are curious whether you might have it, seeking treatment from a qualified clinician can help tremendously in reducing the intensity and severity of your experience. OCD can feel all-consuming, and sometimes we don't even know where to start. I have been trained in Exposure and Response Prevention from the International OCD Foundation, and continue to engage in trainings to expand my knowledge base. I can bring the evidence-based treatment to your therapy, but also the compassion, encouragement, and kindness that I have found to be incredibly necessary in this work where you take steps to face your biggest fears.

Dr. Jessica Kirchhoefer
Psychologist, PhD
The gold standard for OCD treatment is exposure work, which is what we would primarily focus on in addition to understanding unhelpful belief systems that contribute to the presentation of OCD.
