OCD
Danielle Farabaugh
Psychologist, Psy.D.
I work collaboratively with clients to understand how obsessive thoughts and compulsive behaviors affect their lives. Using evidence-based approaches such as Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP), we identify unhelpful patterns and practice new ways of responding to anxiety and uncertainty. Together, we build skills to reduce compulsions, manage intrusive thoughts, and regain a sense of control. My goal is to help clients find relief, confidence, and freedom from OCD’s grip.

OCD
Ricardo Despradel
Licensed Mental Health Counselor, LMHC,LPC
I specialize in the treatment of Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder using Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP), the gold-standard, evidence-based approach for OCD. ERP works by gradually and intentionally exposing clients to the thoughts, images, or situations that trigger their anxiety while helping them resist the urge to engage in compulsions or avoidance. Over time, this process reduces the power of intrusive thoughts, builds tolerance for uncertainty, and breaks the cycle of obsessions and compulsions that OCD depends on to survive. I work with a wide range of OCD presentations, including contamination OCD, checking, harm OCD, and other subtypes, delivering treatment in a structured, individualized, and collaborative format designed for long-term relief. I offer telehealth sessions to teens and adults across New York, New Jersey, and Massachusetts, including affirming care for LGBTQIA+ and BIPOC clients.

Psychiatrist, MD
Obsessive-compulsive disorder can be debilitating, but specialized treatment offers real hope for recovery. I provide evidence-based care for OCD that may include medication management and exposure-response prevention techniques to help you break free from intrusive thoughts and compulsive behaviors. My goal is to help you reclaim time and mental energy from OCD so you can focus on what truly matters to you.

Staten Island's suburban character and strong Italian-American and Eastern European heritage shape a therapy culture that has historically carried some skepticism about mental health treatment, even as demand has grown substantially. The borough was among the hardest hit in New York City by the opioid epidemic, and therapists specializing in addiction recovery, grief, and trauma from loss remain a central part of the community's mental health infrastructure. Staten Island University Hospital provides institutional mental health resources, while private practices are concentrated in Stapleton, Todt Hill, and the North Shore. Many residents also access therapy in New Jersey or Manhattan, reflecting the borough's geographic position at the outer edge of the city.
