OCD
Logan Smlth
Psychologist, PhD
Obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) involves unwanted and repetitive thoughts or feelings (obsessions) and repetitive behaviors (compulsions). Sometimes your compulsions can be physical actions (like checking a lock, or washing your hands, touching something, etc.) or mental actions (like mentally backtracking your steps, planning everything carefully, counting etc.). Sometimes people with OCD feel “out of control” or incredibly distressed if they don’t do a compulsion in response to an obsession. OCD can feel more intense during periods of stress, and is often accompanied with depression symptoms or other forms of anxiety.
Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) is the therapy I typically use in the treatment of OCD; it can also be helpful for certain phobias. This therapy will involve careful, preplanned, gradual exposures to the focus of OCD, while helping you learn how to stop yourself from acting on your compulsion. Clients experiencing OCD are often doubtful of their ability to control their compulsions, but find ERP to be surprisingly effective. An ERP treatment course usually involves weekly, one-hour appointments for as long as they seem appropriate, at which point I usually decrease the frequency of appointments gradually (moving to once every two weeks, once every three weeks, etc.). Some clients benefit from meeting more often than once per week, which is something we can discuss if it seems appropriate.

The Healing Center of West Michigan
Counselor/Therapist
Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) is more than intrusive thoughts and rituals—it’s often driven by unresolved fear, past experiences, and a deep need for control or certainty. At The Healing Center of West Michigan, we use EMDR alongside cognitive and behavioral strategies to help clients target the emotional roots of OCD, reduce anxiety, and interrupt the loop of obsession and compulsion. Our approach is compassionate, collaborative, and tailored to your needs—supporting you in finding relief, trust in yourself, and a renewed sense of peace.

Samantha Kingma
Marriage and Family Therapist, MS, LMFT
Overthinking, overanalyzing, ruminating, future-tripping, or analysis paralysis—whatever you call it, it can really keep you stuck. If you've been lying awake at night thinking through all the things you said today (or last year), if you've made 8 different to-do lists for the same task, or if you're always running late because it's difficult to organize your thoughts, let's chat. Anxiety, OCD, perfectionism, and burnout can significantly impact the way your brain handles the stress of day-to-day life. But there is hope – you don’t have to stay stuck. I'd love to talk to you about how you can begin to feel like yourself again. It is possible to feel like yourself again, and I'd love to talk to you about how you can get there. I provide specialized support for individuals and couples dealing with anxiety, OCD, trauma, and relationship difficulties. I will work with you to find the patterns in your life that may be causing problems and then collaborate with you to find new options and restorative solutions. You don’t have to walk through this difficulty alone, and I’d be honored to support you as you move toward healing. Visit my website or fill out the contact form to schedule a free phone consultation, and we can chat about what you’re looking for and whether I might be the right fit for you.

With expertise in Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP), the gold standard for OCD treatment, I help clients confront fears and reduce compulsive behaviors in a supportive and collaborative environment. By breaking the cycle of anxiety and avoidance, you can regain control, improve your quality of life, and achieve lasting change. In addition to the traditional weekly format, I also offer OCD treatment in a therapy intensive format - extended length sessions over the course of 1-4 days.

OCD
Matthew Syzdek
Psychologist, PhD, LP, MBA
If you can't turn off your mind and your thoughts are taking over your life, there is a path forward towards a more fulfilling life. Don't gamble when choosing a therapist. You deserve a psychologist who will adapt the best science to your specific needs and goals. Many therapists themselves are burned out and can't give the best care to their clients. Dr Syzdek built a small boutique practice where he limits the number of clients he treats, so he can give his clients the time, thought, and dedication that they deserve. Dr Syzdek combines compassion with the science of behavior change to help you make the the difficult decisions in life and take action, so you can live a happier life, thrive at work, love your relationships, and have fun again. Dr Syzdek treats OCD and related conditions typically using Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and exposure therapies. These approaches combine mindfulness, acceptance, and cognitive strategies to help you live your life again and find relief from the the struggle.
