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.

Kreins Psychological Services
Psychologist, PhD, PsyD
As a psychologist specializing in obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), my treatment approach is tailored to address the unique symptoms and challenges experienced by each individual. Through evidence-based therapies such as cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), particularly exposure and response prevention (ERP), I work collaboratively with clients to identify and challenge obsessive thoughts and compulsive behaviors. By gradually exposing individuals to feared stimuli while refraining from engaging in compulsions, we aim to reduce anxiety and disrupt the cycle of obsessions and compulsions. Additionally, I incorporate mindfulness techniques and acceptance-based strategies to help clients develop a more adaptive relationship with uncertainty and discomfort. Psychoeducation plays a crucial role in enhancing understanding of OCD and building skills for long-term management. My goal is to empower individuals to regain control over their lives, reduce OCD symptoms, and improve overall quality of life.

CHRISTIE BAUR PSYCHOTHERAPY
Counselor/Therapist, MS, LPC
Living with OCD can feel exhausting and frankly, painful. The intrusive thoughts, the “what ifs,” the rituals that take over your day—it can all leave you feeling stuck in a loop you can’t get out of. But OCD is treatable, and you don’t have to manage it alone.
In therapy, we’ll work together to understand the patterns that keep you feeling trapped and build tools that help you get your life back. Using evidence-based approaches like Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP), cognitive-behavioral strategies, and a lot of compassion, we’ll slowly retrain your brain to feel safer and more in control. With therapy you'll learn how to challenge intrusive thoughts, reduce compulsive behaviors, and create more space for the things that actually matter to you—not the fears or urges that feel so loud right now.
Whether your OCD shows up through checking, cleaning, intrusive images, rumination, reassurance seeking, perfectionism, or fears you’ve never said out loud, therapy is a place where you can finally talk about it without judgment.
