OCD
Rebekah Ruth Jones, Ed.D., LPC
Licensed Professional Counselor, Ed.D., LPC
I use components of PE, ERP, and DBT to help your brain lessen the intensity of its rumination. Intrusive thoughts are not your thoughts, they are not warnings of what you WANT to do. They are your brain's misguided effort to protect you from those things. We can work together to help give your brain better tools.

Dr. Thomas Ballas
Psychologist, PhD; PSYPACT
I am a clinical psychologist with specialized expertise in treating Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD). My diverse professional background includes working in hospital settings, private practice, and serving as a medical officer in the U.S. Army. I refined my specialization in OCD and Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) through training with renowned OCD expert Dr. Steven Phillipson at the Center for Cognitive Behavioral Psychotherapy.
These experiences have equipped me with a deep understanding of complex mental health concerns and a commitment to delivering effective, evidence-based care. My goal is to help you break free from unhelpful patterns, enhance your emotional well-being, and move toward a more balanced and fulfilling life. Together, we’ll develop an approach tailored to your unique needs, ensuring you feel supported every step of the way.

OCD
Karen Nadel
Psychologist, Psy.D.
Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder, or OCD, involves having obsessive thinking patterns that can include unwanted thoughts, images or urges that make a person feel anxious or distressed.
Individuals who have OCD often have significant difficulty pushing away or ignoring these thoughts. Those with OCD also have compulsive behaviors which are an attempt to reverse the obsessive thoughts or urges by performing some sort of action.
Dr. Nadel utilizes the effective treatment of Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) in the treatment of OCD. Dr. Nadel has been trained in ERP through the International OCD Foundation.

Kreins Psychological Services
Psychologist, PhD, PsyD
As a psychologist specializing in obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), my treatment approach is tailored to address the unique symptoms and challenges experienced by each individual. Through evidence-based therapies such as cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), particularly exposure and response prevention (ERP), I work collaboratively with clients to identify and challenge obsessive thoughts and compulsive behaviors. By gradually exposing individuals to feared stimuli while refraining from engaging in compulsions, we aim to reduce anxiety and disrupt the cycle of obsessions and compulsions. Additionally, I incorporate mindfulness techniques and acceptance-based strategies to help clients develop a more adaptive relationship with uncertainty and discomfort. Psychoeducation plays a crucial role in enhancing understanding of OCD and building skills for long-term management. My goal is to empower individuals to regain control over their lives, reduce OCD symptoms, and improve overall quality of life.
