Melissa Jermann
Psychologist, Ph.D.
Living with Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) can feel like an endless cycle of intrusive thoughts, images, urges, and compulsive behaviors that consume your time, energy, and peace of mind. At my practice, we specialize in treating OCD using Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP), the gold-standard treatment for OCD. While also incorporating Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) skills. Together, we’ll work to break the OCD cycle, face your fears in a supportive and structured way, and help you reclaim control over your life. Whether you’re navigating contamination fears, checking behaviors, taboo intrusive thoughts, or other OCD challenges, we’re here to guide you every step of the way.

Edmund LaBarbara
Psychologist, PsyD
I specialize in helping adults navigate severe and complex Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) and related conditions. Because OCD operates on cycles of intense anxiety and exhausting behavioral or mental compulsions, traditional talk therapy is rarely enough. You need a targeted, evidence-based approach designed specifically for this disorder.
During our initial sessions, we will thoroughly explore how OCD shows up in your life—identifying your unique triggers, avoidance patterns, and reassurance-seeking loops. Together, we will build a highly personalized treatment plan centered around Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP), the gold standard for OCD recovery. We will also integrate Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and mindfulness practices to help you build distress tolerance and psychological flexibility.

David B. Shaw, Ph.D.
Psychologist, Ph.D.
In my treatment for OCD, I provide a specialized approach centered on Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP), the gold standard for breaking the cycle of intrusive thoughts and repetitive behaviors. I work closely with you to identify your triggers and develop structured exercises that help you face fears without relying on compulsions, gradually reducing their power over your life. By combining this with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), I empower you to reframe your relationship with uncertainty and regain the freedom to focus on what truly matters.

Dr. Jessica Kirchhoefer
Psychologist, PhD
The gold standard for OCD treatment is exposure work, which is what we would primarily focus on in addition to understanding unhelpful belief systems that contribute to the presentation of 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!
