OCD therapists in Brandywine, Maryland MD
Dr. Patricia Webbink
Psychologist, MA and PhD in Clinical Psychology
A small amount of OCD is needed for us to keep our homes and lives organized. Unfortunately, too much of it can result in checking to stove repeatedly to see if it was left on, or obsessive
hand-washing. The movie “As Good As It Gets” is an example of a man whose total existence is negatively
impacted by extreme OCD.

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.

Psychologist, Psy. D., M.A.
Being restricted by intense worries about oneself and others can lead people into rigid routines that function to alleviate the intensity of their inner tensions, if only for a short time. People who are unable to break out from these patterns can become self-critical and lose a sense of hope that can be debilitating. It is important to remind ourselves in these instances that things can improve and that sometimes it may only take the effort to reach out for help.
