OCD
Aaron Kapin
Somatic Experiencing Practitioner, SEP, LMT
If you have diagnosed obsessive compulsive disorder that's actively disrupting your life, make sure you find a specialist to work with.
If you have a specialist, or your tendencies are more mild (i.e. not an active threat to your health and well-being), let's talk. Somatic Experiencing has the potential to help you track with the physical aspect of a compulsion, that is, instead of thinking about what the urge is, you feel what the urge feels like.
It's hard to believe it till you experience it, but once you can find the physical aspect of a compulsion and learn to track it with some curiosity, it has the potential to change more quickly than addressing the specifics of the compulsion itself.
Again, this isn't a treatment for an OCD diagnosis, but it can be a great supplement to treatment, helping you feel safer and more settled in your body as you navigate this.

OCD
Dr. Karina Luaces
Psychologist, PsyD.
OCD can be all-consuming, making it difficult to quiet intrusive thoughts or break cycles of compulsive behavior. Using evidence-based approaches I help clients understand their OCD, reduce its grip, and reclaim a greater sense of freedom in their daily lives.

Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC
Obsessive-compulsive behaviors can feel overwhelming and controlling, but change is possible. I help clients break free from the cycle of obsession and compulsion, using CBT and EMDR to reprocess the underlying triggers and develop healthier coping mechanisms.
