OCD
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.

OCD
Kaitlin McMahon, LCSW
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
Obsessive-compulsive disorder can feel exhausting, with intrusive thoughts and urges that don't align with who you are, followed by behaviors or mental rituals that temporarily relieve distress. This cycle can become time-consuming and hard to break on your own. I use evidence-based approaches like Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP), alongside supportive strategies such as somatic-based approaches and nervous system regulation tools, to help you reduce the intensity of obsessions and build freedom from compulsive patterns.
