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.

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.

Dr. David Steinbok believes that change occurs within the individual, through insight and awareness. By utilizing the therapist as an accepting, non-judgmental participant, one can come to understand what keeps them from moving forward and achieving more satisfaction in their lives.

Gabrielle Rocchino

My approach to therapy is flexible to meet the unique needs of each person and is grounded in the goal for you to feel deserving of connection, clarity and a fulfilled life. In my work with clients who are struggling with OCD, I lean on the tools of grounding, self-understanding and self-compassion to help us to better understand the sources of obsessions and anxious distress, while mitigating compulsive behaviors to improve your quality of life.
