At GCS, we specialize in the treatment of Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder. OCD can look like repetitive unwanted thoughts, constant checking, avoidance, and feeling stuck in a mental "loop. It is a very distressing pattern. Here at GCS, we use a combination of Exposure Response Prevention, Inference-Based Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and talk therapy to treat OCD. We can help you to break out of the mental "loop" and get back to living life according to your true, unique values!

Michael Zamrin
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, MSW, MA
Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) can be an overwhelming and exhausting experience, often marked by persistent intrusive thoughts and compulsive behaviors that feel impossible to control. Using techniques drawn from Inference-Based Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (I-CBT), I help individuals understand how doubt and distorted reasoning patterns fuel their OCD, rather than focusing solely on the content of their obsessions. I-CBT offers a powerful alternative to traditional exposure-based approaches by targeting the root of obsessive thinking — the faulty inferences that drive the cycle. Together, we work to challenge these thinking errors, reduce reliance on compulsions, and rebuild trust in one's own perceptions. My goal is to help clients regain a sense of clarity, confidence, and freedom from the grip of OCD.

Dr. Alishia Kalos
Psychologist, PsyD, CST
Dr. Kalos has particular clinical experience working with OCD when symptoms center on sexuality, sexual orientation, gender, relationships, or fears about sexual thoughts and behaviors. Treatment may address intrusive or unwanted sexual thoughts, doubts about one’s sexual orientation or attraction, fears of being sexually harmful or inappropriate, reassurance seeking, checking, avoidance, and other compulsive responses. Therapy focuses on helping clients understand the OCD cycle and develop more flexible, effective ways of responding to intrusive thoughts and uncertainty without allowing fear to dictate their behavior or sense of identity.

Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) counseling is a specially designed to help individuals who are struggling with the often debilitating symptoms of OCD. This mental health disorder is characterized by unwanted and intrusive thoughts (obsessions) that lead to repetitive behaviors or mental acts (compulsions). Our counseling services focus on providing varied approaches, such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP), to reduce the occurrence and impact of OCD symptoms, thereby improving daily functioning and quality of life.
Evidence-Based Treatment for OCD
* Tailored CBT Techniques: We utilize Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients identify and challenge the distorted thinking patterns that fuel their obsessions and compulsions.
* Exposure and Response Prevention: ERP involves gradually exposing clients to their feared objects or ideas (exposures) and teaching them to resist the urge to carry out their usual compulsive acts (response prevention).
* Skills Training: Clients are trained in stress management and relaxation techniques to help manage the anxiety that often accompanies OCD.
* Mindfulness and Acceptance: Incorporating elements of mindfulness helps clients learn to accept their obsessive thoughts without acting on them compulsively.
* Family Involvement: We provide support and education for families of individuals with OCD so that they can better understand the disorder and offer the right kind of support to their loved ones.
Goals of OCD Counseling
Our OCD counseling services strive to:
* Reduce OCD Symptoms: Aim to significantly decrease the frequency and severity of obsessions and compulsions.
