OCD
Dr. Alisha Desai
Psychologist, PhD
Obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) makes you feel trapped in cycles of intrusive thoughts, doubt, and compulsions that offer relief in the moment but ultimately keep the cycle going. Whether you find yourself checking, seeking reassurance, mentally reviewing situations, or trying to eliminate unwanted thoughts, these patterns have taken a significant toll on your life. Using evidence-based treatments, such as Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP), we’ll work to help you change your relationship with uncertainty and break free from the cycles that keep you stuck.

OCD
Joe Groninga
Psychologist, PsyD, LP
Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) can be a very debilitating set of symptoms and is something for which I use a therapy called Exposure and Response Prevention (ExRP or ERP). This therapy is widely considered to be the most effective treatment for OCD available. I will teach you how to approach situations that create obsessive thinking and emotional distress and how to simultaneously resist acting on urges to engage in your compulsive behavior. The result is the ability to be in these situations with significantly less distress and without overwhelming compulsive urges. People with OCD are typically amazed at what they can achieve through this therapy.

OCD
Johanna Wood
Psychologist, PhD
I specialize in Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) for OCD. My clients typically have tried therapy before, but have not seen much improvement. They continue living in fear, anxiety, and guilt, as their lives continue getting smaller and smaller. This is because OCD requires specialized treatment. Coping skills are great, but they can only get you so far. In fact, when it comes to OCD, they could be making things worse! The good news is, there are science-backed treatments for OCD with decades of research showing that they actually work. If you're ready to stop coping and start living, take a leap of faith and reach out.
My style is structured and balances use of the latest science with compassion and understanding. My goal is to make you feel heard, and feel challenged. I serve adults with primary issues of OCD, and I also address co-occurring anxiety disorders, depression, insomnia, body-focused repetitive behaviors, and trauma, using cognitive-behavioral therapies. I address all forms of OCD, but I have a special interest in scrupulosity (religious- and moral-based) OCD. I love helping people stop letting their OCD hijack their sources of meaning and get back to having faith in faith again.

Authentically You Counseling
Treatment Center, LCMHC
Scheduling at AYC is easy - schedule an intake as soon as next week. Finding the courage to be true to yourself despite the challenges you have to overcome is the ultimate goal of therapy. I believe one of the greatest grievances is living an inauthentic life with who you are. Regardless of what you’ve been through, if something is stopping you from living your truth - if fear prevents you from engaging in life the way you want or you are attempting to live up to some societal or personal expectation so far out of reach it hurts - If something is preventing you from living your fullest life, you can make a difference!
I want to help you reach your fullest potential according to your personal truth, values and beliefs. If we embark on this journey together, you will be the driver. I will simply help you see the different paths to reaching your end goal. In the end, you must be true to yourself in choosing the path you wish to take - or none at all.
Finding your truth sometimes means making a decision about whether or not to live your full truth. We can work together to help you explore your options to make the right choice for You. Making the call (or email) to start your journey is the first step - Let us start your journey together!
