Jack Szary
Counselor/Therapist, LMHC
I work with adults experiencing obsessive-compulsive thoughts and compulsive behaviors that interfere with daily life, relationships, or work. Many clients feel trapped by intrusive thoughts, perfectionism, or compulsions they struggle to control, despite knowing these behaviors are distressing or unnecessary. My approach combines evidence-based strategies, including exposure and response prevention (ERP), with exploration of underlying emotional and cognitive patterns, helping clients reduce anxiety, regain control, and develop healthier ways of managing thoughts and behaviors.

Abby Leefer, LCSW-R - Perspectives Counseling of LI
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW-R
Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) can involve persistent, intrusive thoughts and repetitive behaviors or mental rituals that feel difficult to control. These patterns can become time-consuming and interfere with daily functioning and overall well-being. Our therapists aim to provide a structured and supportive space to better understand how OCD operates and what maintains it. Together, we use evidence-based approaches to reduce symptoms, build tolerance to distress, and help you regain a greater sense of control in your life.
