OCD
Dr. Jenny Shields
Psychologist
When you have OCD, your thoughts don’t just feel intrusive—they feel relentless. Maybe you find yourself trapped in endless checking rituals, consumed by distressing “what-if” scenarios, or haunted by unwanted, disturbing images. Dr. Jenny Shields understands that OCD can feel profoundly isolating, particularly for high-achieving professionals who are used to trusting their own minds. By using evidence-based interventions like Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dr. Shields helps you gently face—and ultimately reclaim power over—obsessive thoughts and compulsive behaviors. Her approach is compassionate, empowering, and tailored specifically to you, helping restore a sense of trust and peace within yourself.

Patrick Powers
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
OCD is my passion and my first reason for becoming a therapist. I have extensive background in and have been certified by the International OCD Foundation and Massachusetts General Hospital in the use of gold standard treatments. I use Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) coupled with cognitive work, while taking care to consider and address life context and attachment issues at play for my clients. Treatment is difficult but I love playing the role of encouraging coach throughout the process. I also have a particular comfort with the sorts of obsessions people often feel terrified to bring up to anyone, including therapists. I love working with intrusive thoughts about anything- relationships, existential fears, sexual orientation, incest, pedophilia, harm...you name it. We really can talk about it. It's not a big deal.

OCD
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.

Psychologist, PhD; PSYPACT
I am a clinical psychologist with specialized expertise in treating Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD). My diverse professional background includes working in hospital settings, private practice, and serving as a medical officer in the U.S. Army. I refined my specialization in OCD and Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) through training with renowned OCD expert Dr. Steven Phillipson at the Center for Cognitive Behavioral Psychotherapy.
These experiences have equipped me with a deep understanding of complex mental health concerns and a commitment to delivering effective, evidence-based care. My goal is to help you break free from unhelpful patterns, enhance your emotional well-being, and move toward a more balanced and fulfilling life. Together, we’ll develop an approach tailored to your unique needs, ensuring you feel supported every step of the way.
