Prianka Saini
Counselor/Therapist, LAC
Living with OCD can be exhausting, particularly when intrusive thoughts, unwanted images, or repetitive behaviors begin to take up significant time and energy. I provide a supportive, non-judgmental space where clients can better understand the cycle of obsessions and compulsions and learn healthier ways to respond. Therapy can help you develop greater tolerance for uncertainty, reduce the impact of OCD on your daily life, and regain a sense of freedom from the patterns that have been keeping you stuck.

Robert Zambrano, Psy.D
Psychologist, Psy.D
Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) can create constant, overwhelming thoughts (obsessions) and lead to repetitive behaviors (compulsions) as a way to reduce anxiety. At Stress & Anxiety Services, we specialize in treating OCD using evidence-based therapies that are proven to help individuals regain control and reduce the impact of OCD on their lives. Our approach includes: Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP): The gold-standard treatment for OCD, where individuals gradually face their fears while learning to resist engaging in compulsive behaviors. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT): Helps identify and challenge obsessive thoughts and the compulsive behaviors they trigger, leading to healthier thinking patterns. -Mindfulness Techniques: Encourages awareness and acceptance of distressing thoughts without acting on them, reducing the power of obsessions. Through secure telehealth services, we offer expert OCD treatment wherever you are. With our tailored approach, you can work towards reducing compulsive behaviors and living a more peaceful, fulfilling life.

OCD
Lenny Gallo
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
OCD is more than just liking things neat and organized. It’s a serious and often misunderstood condition that can be incredibly disruptive to your daily life. For many people, OCD can interfere with work, relationships, and everyday routines—and it’s not something you can just “turn off.”
OCD affects people of all ages and walks of life. It often shows up as unwanted, intrusive thoughts (called obsessions) that can feel scary, upsetting, or out of your control. People can have unwanted sexual thoughts, thoughts of harming others, fears about relationships, and contamination, to name a few. To cope, you might feel driven to do certain behaviors or rituals (compulsions) in an effort to quiet those thoughts. Unfortunately, this creates a cycle that can leave you feeling exhausted, isolated, and overwhelmed.
OCD doesn’t always look the same. It can also show up in related ways, such as:
Body Dysmorphic Disorder (BDD) – Obsessive thoughts about perceived flaws in appearance
Skin Picking (Excoriation Disorder) – Repeated picking at the skin, often causing injury
Hair Pulling (Trichotillomania) – Compulsive pulling out of hair from the scalp, eyebrows, or other areas
My approach to treating OCD is rooted in the evidence-based methods of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP). ERP is considered the gold standard for OCD treatment. Together, these approaches help you face fears in a safe, supportive way—so you can break free from the cycle of obsessions and compulsions. I am a part a part of the International OCD Foundation's Therapist Network and have been trained in ERP through the organization. To find out more about OCD, Click here.
Side Note: OCD and PTSD (TRAUMA)
About 19% of people with OCD also have a history of trauma. The research in this area is still evolving, and the truth is we don't have the best methods for treating both. Some of the strategies that are highly effective for OCD might not be appropriate for someone actively struggling with PTSD, and vice versa.
Currently, Prolonged Exposure (PE) is considered the gold standard for treating PTSD. That said, some individuals don't respond well to that. Others respond well to approaches like EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) or IFS (Internal Family Systems). If you’re dealing with both OCD and trauma, we’ll work together to determine the best path forward—one that’s safe, effective, and tailored to your unique needs.
PLEASE NOTE: Some treatment for OCD will be unconventional. In some cases, I may require house visits and family participation, but be assured that all treatment related to OCD is always in the interest of helping you manage unwanted thoughts and rituals.
