Dr. Jenny Shields
Psychologist
When you have OCD, your thoughts don’t just feel intrusive—they feel relentless. Maybe you find yourself trapped in endless checking rituals, consumed by distressing “what-if” scenarios, or haunted by unwanted, disturbing images. Dr. Jenny Shields understands that OCD can feel profoundly isolating, particularly for high-achieving professionals who are used to trusting their own minds. By using evidence-based interventions like Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dr. Shields helps you gently face—and ultimately reclaim power over—obsessive thoughts and compulsive behaviors. Her approach is compassionate, empowering, and tailored specifically to you, helping restore a sense of trust and peace within yourself.

Corey Connelly
Licensed Professional Counselor, MA LCAS LCMHC
Obsessions and compulsions can become so debilitating that they start to feel like they're taking control of your life. This addictive pattern is hard to break. I have experience treating OCD, and can work with you to challenge this through gradual exposure work and coping skills when the anxiety feels overwhelming.

Johanna Wood
Psychologist, PhD
I specialize in Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) for OCD. My clients typically have tried therapy before, but have not seen much improvement. They continue living in fear, anxiety, and guilt, as their lives continue getting smaller and smaller. This is because OCD requires specialized treatment. Coping skills are great, but they can only get you so far. In fact, when it comes to OCD, they could be making things worse! The good news is, there are science-backed treatments for OCD with decades of research showing that they actually work. If you're ready to stop coping and start living, take a leap of faith and reach out.
My style is structured and balances use of the latest science with compassion and understanding. My goal is to make you feel heard, and feel challenged. I serve adults with primary issues of OCD, and I also address co-occurring anxiety disorders, depression, insomnia, body-focused repetitive behaviors, and trauma, using cognitive-behavioral therapies. I address all forms of OCD, but I have a special interest in scrupulosity (religious- and moral-based) OCD. I love helping people stop letting their OCD hijack their sources of meaning and get back to having faith in faith again.

Dr. Cathy E. Pickett
Licensed Professional Counselor, LCMHC, LCA, CCTP, NCC
I work with clients experiencing Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) by providing a compassionate, structured, and nonjudgmental environment where they can better understand their thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. Treatment may incorporate Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), including Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) when appropriate, to help clients recognize obsessive thought patterns, reduce compulsive behaviors and reassurance-seeking, and develop healthier ways of responding to anxiety and uncertainty. I also incorporate mindfulness, emotional regulation, and practical coping strategies to help clients separate intrusive thoughts from their identity and learn that having an unwanted thought does not mean they have to act on it. My goal is to help clients build confidence in managing anxiety, tolerate uncertainty, reduce the impact of OCD on everyday life and relationships, and move toward greater freedom and quality of life.
