Melissa Jermann
Psychologist, Ph.D.
Living with Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) can feel like an endless cycle of intrusive thoughts, images, urges, and compulsive behaviors that consume your time, energy, and peace of mind. At my practice, we specialize in treating OCD using Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP), the gold-standard treatment for OCD. While also incorporating Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) skills. Together, we’ll work to break the OCD cycle, face your fears in a supportive and structured way, and help you reclaim control over your life. Whether you’re navigating contamination fears, checking behaviors, taboo intrusive thoughts, or other OCD challenges, we’re here to guide you every step of the way.

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.

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.

Cindy Haines, Psy.D
Psychologist, Psy.D
Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) can create constant, overwhelming thoughts (obsessions) and lead to repetitive behaviors (compulsions) as a way to reduce anxiety. At Stress & Anxiety Services, we specialize in treating OCD using evidence-based therapies that are proven to help individuals regain control and reduce the impact of OCD on their lives. Our approach includes: Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP): The gold-standard treatment for OCD, where individuals gradually face their fears while learning to resist engaging in compulsive behaviors. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT): Helps identify and challenge obsessive thoughts and the compulsive behaviors they trigger, leading to healthier thinking patterns. -Mindfulness Techniques: Encourages awareness and acceptance of distressing thoughts without acting on them, reducing the power of obsessions. Through secure telehealth services, we offer expert OCD treatment wherever you are. With our tailored approach, you can work towards reducing compulsive behaviors and living a more peaceful, fulfilling life.

Debra Nelson
Psychologist, Psy.D.
Exposure and Response prevention is a very specific therapy to address concerns related to Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD). Within this therapy model, we would work together to generate a hierarchy of events or stumbling blocks getting in your way. We then create challenges for concurring each obstacle using learned coping skills from session.

Topeka is Kansas's state capital and a city with an unusually significant mental health history—the Menninger Clinic, for decades one of the world's leading psychiatric institutions, was founded and based in Topeka before relocating to Houston in 2003, leaving a legacy of mental health awareness and professional expertise that still influences the community. The city is also historically significant as the location of the plaintiffs in Brown v. Board of Education, the landmark Supreme Court desegregation case, and the ongoing work of racial equity remains an important dimension of community life and mental health context. Stormont Vail Health provides behavioral health services, and a private therapy sector serves Topeka's mix of government, legal, and healthcare workers alongside the broader population. Common therapy concerns include depression, anxiety, racial justice and identity, economic stress in a mid-size state capital, and the particular challenges of a community working to reimagine its future.
