OCD
Hannah L. Gold at Gold Therapy
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW-C, LICSW
Living with OCD can feel like being trapped in a cycle of intrusive thoughts and compulsive behaviors, where nothing you do seems to provide lasting relief. You might find yourself constantly seeking certainty, struggling with obsessive worries, or engaging in rituals to reduce anxiety. My approach, grounded in Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), helps you break free from the grip of these repetitive patterns.
ACT focuses on accepting difficult thoughts and feelings rather than trying to control or avoid them. Together, we’ll explore the underlying fears and beliefs driving your obsessions and compulsions, and work to build psychological flexibility. We’ll focus on helping you engage with life in a way that is aligned with your values, not driven by the need to perform rituals or seek reassurance.
I offer a supportive, nonjudgmental space where you can face your OCD with self-compassion and honesty. My goal is to help you gain freedom from the cycle of obsessions and compulsions, so you can move toward the life you want—one where you are not defined by your disorder.

OCD
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.

OCD
Greta Carlson, Psy.D., ABPP
Psychologist, Licensed Clinical Psychologist
I provide prolonged exposure (PE) therapy for OCD. In this type of treatment, you learn skills to regulate anxiety as it arises in response to environmental triggers, and work on using these skills in session when faced with a compulsion-triggering stimulus. We focus on psychoeducation on obsessional thinking and compulsive behavior patterns, and gradually work with you to use skills instead of engaging in compulsions, so you can have more time and and attention for your relationships, interests, and passions.

OCD
Louisa Lombard
Licensed Professional Counselor, LCPC, LPCC, PPS
OCD can be mild to debilitating, and is often missed and treated as anxiety. I've found that OCD and Health Anxiety, as well as Body Focused Repetitive Behaviors (BFRBs, ie. skin picking, hair pulling/tweezing, nail/cuticle biting) can sometimes co-exist together. I'm trained in treating OCD through two of the primary evidence based OCD treatment modalities -Inference-Based Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (I-CBT) and Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP/ExRP). I-CBT is a newer evidence based treatment for OCD that focuses on gaining certainty versus pushing yourself into uncertainty, and is thought to be a gentler approach. There are many types of OCD and the thought-based "invisible" types are the most often missed forms of OCD, often called the "Pure O subtype" meaning that the obsessions/thoughts are there, but that the compulsions are mental and not outwardly visible, as we've come to expect from what we see about OCD in the media/social media. There are many forms of OCD, including Postpartum OCD, Relational (romantic as well as platonic) OCD, Harm OCD, Perfectionism/Just Right OCD, Contamination OCD, Scrupulosity or Religious OCD, Checking OCD, Obsessional OCD, Sexual Orientation OCD, Pedophilia OCD, and Superstitious OCD, among others. I'm trained in treating BFRBs using multiple modalities including, Habit Reversal Training, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Comprehensive Model for the Behavioral Treatment of BFRB and DBT, which help to reduce the symptoms of BFRBs.

OCD
Alexander Tice
Psychologist, PsyD
Dr. Tice specializes in the treatment of OCD, utilizing the "gold standard" treatment for OCD: Exposure and Response Prevention (E/RP). ERP is a highly effective intervention for OCD, and involves learning concrete skills for managing obsessive, intrusive thoughts and the corresponding distressing emotions. OCD manifests uniquely in each person, and Dr. Tice works with each client to identify their specific OCD experience, as well as the individualized treatment plan for them. ERP helps each person face their fears, and learn to be able to tolerate uncertainty and discomfort. Reach out if you have any questions about how ERP could be right for you!
