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.

Katherine Rabinowitz
Licensed Psychoanalyst, LP, M.A., NCPsyA
OCD is bandied about a lot these days. Sometimes it's confused with OCPD, and they are not the same thing. As this is to be a short description of the issue, the best I can do is to say that OCD is an anxiety disorder and OCPD is a personality disorder. There is some overlap. Both vary in severity, and difficulty hauling oneself out of. That stuckness is part of the disorder itself. To understand it better I suggest you read that part on my website that explains it in greater detail. It's under the tab "What's Troubling You."considerably greater detail.

Dr. Joe Rustum
Psychologist, PsyD, License Psychologist
I help clients struggling with intrusive thoughts, compulsive behaviors, reassurance-seeking, checking, rumination, and difficulty tolerating uncertainty. OCD can be exhausting and can interfere with work, relationships, and daily life, even when someone appears highly capable on the outside. In therapy, we focus on reducing avoidance, building tolerance for uncertainty, and responding to intrusive thoughts in healthier ways. My goal is to help clients regain flexibility, confidence, and a greater sense of control.

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.
