Radu Pop
Psychologist, Psychologist, PhD
I specialize in helping adolescents and adults manage obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), including intrusive thoughts, compulsive behaviors, anxiety, and perfectionistic thinking. Through evidence-based treatment approaches, I support clients in reducing the impact of obsessions and compulsions, building distress tolerance, and regaining a greater sense of control in daily life.

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.

Aaron Kapin
Somatic Experiencing Practitioner, SEP, LMT
If you have diagnosed obsessive compulsive disorder that's actively disrupting your life, make sure you find a specialist to work with.
If you have a specialist, or your tendencies are more mild (i.e. not an active threat to your health and well-being), let's talk. Somatic Experiencing has the potential to help you track with the physical aspect of a compulsion, that is, instead of thinking about what the urge is, you feel what the urge feels like.
It's hard to believe it till you experience it, but once you can find the physical aspect of a compulsion and learn to track it with some curiosity, it has the potential to change more quickly than addressing the specifics of the compulsion itself.
Again, this isn't a treatment for an OCD diagnosis, but it can be a great supplement to treatment, helping you feel safer and more settled in your body as you navigate this.

Dr. Adam Shafer (Chicago, IL)
Psychologist, Psy. D., M.A.
Being restricted by intense worries about oneself and others can lead people into rigid routines that function to alleviate the intensity of their inner tensions, if only for a short time. People who are unable to break out from these patterns can become self-critical and lose a sense of hope that can be debilitating. It is important to remind ourselves in these instances that things can improve and that sometimes it may only take the effort to reach out for help.
