OCD
Dr. Yanet Vanegas
Psychologist, PsyD
My experience in treating Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) with Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) therapy has been both rewarding and transformative. With a deep understanding of the underlying mechanisms of OCD, I guide individuals through a structured and evidence-based approach to confronting their fears and breaking free from the cycle of obsessions and compulsions. Through systematic exposure to anxiety-provoking stimuli and prevention of ritualistic behaviors, I help clients gradually build tolerance to their distress and learn more adaptive ways of coping.

OCD
Jason Herr
Psychologist, Psy.D.
I help individuals build a stronger and more stable sense of self-worth. Drawing on extensive clinical experience working with a wide range of concerns—including anxiety, depression, trauma, personality dynamics, and life transitions across community mental health and private practice settings—I support clients in identifying patterns of self-criticism, perfectionism, and self-doubt that interfere with growth. Together, we develop greater self-awareness, confidence, and emotional resilience so clients can approach relationships, work, and personal goals with a stronger sense of identity and self-trust.

OCD
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.

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.
