Kreins Psychological Services
Psychologist, PhD, PsyD
As a psychologist specializing in obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), my treatment approach is tailored to address the unique symptoms and challenges experienced by each individual. Through evidence-based therapies such as cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), particularly exposure and response prevention (ERP), I work collaboratively with clients to identify and challenge obsessive thoughts and compulsive behaviors. By gradually exposing individuals to feared stimuli while refraining from engaging in compulsions, we aim to reduce anxiety and disrupt the cycle of obsessions and compulsions. Additionally, I incorporate mindfulness techniques and acceptance-based strategies to help clients develop a more adaptive relationship with uncertainty and discomfort. Psychoeducation plays a crucial role in enhancing understanding of OCD and building skills for long-term management. My goal is to empower individuals to regain control over their lives, reduce OCD symptoms, and improve overall quality of life.

Dr. Joe Rustum
Psychologist, PsyD, License Psychologist
I help clients struggling with intrusive thoughts, compulsive behaviors, reassurance-seeking, checking, rumination, and difficulty tolerating uncertainty. OCD can be exhausting and can interfere with work, relationships, and daily life, even when someone appears highly capable on the outside. In therapy, we focus on reducing avoidance, building tolerance for uncertainty, and responding to intrusive thoughts in healthier ways. My goal is to help clients regain flexibility, confidence, and a greater sense of control.

Dr. Alishia Kalos
Psychologist, PsyD, CST
Dr. Kalos has particular clinical experience working with OCD when symptoms center on sexuality, sexual orientation, gender, relationships, or fears about sexual thoughts and behaviors. Treatment may address intrusive or unwanted sexual thoughts, doubts about one’s sexual orientation or attraction, fears of being sexually harmful or inappropriate, reassurance seeking, checking, avoidance, and other compulsive responses. Therapy focuses on helping clients understand the OCD cycle and develop more flexible, effective ways of responding to intrusive thoughts and uncertainty without allowing fear to dictate their behavior or sense of identity.
