OCD
Kristina Young
Therapist, LCMFT
It's been well-established that many OCD sufferers delay seeking treatment due to a fear of how their obsessional themes will be perceived and/ or judged, even in therapy. I provide a safe, nonjudgmental space to address what are often considered "taboo" obsessive themes (i.e., harm, aggressive, sexual, pedophilic). Perinatal/ postpartum OCD sufferers, in particular, may experience fears of harming their baby. You don't have to live in isolation with these thoughts. We can bring them into the light of day together and reduce the hold they currently have on you.
