OCD
Ashley Lynn
Licensed Professional Counselor, MFT, LPC, CAADC
OCD can feel relentless and exhausting. I help clients understand their thought patterns, reduce reliance on compulsions, and learn how to tolerate uncertainty and regain a sense of control.

OCD
Luke Colbourn
Counselor/Therapist, Licensed Professional Counselor
Intrusive thoughts are a common human experience, but for some these are more extreme, more insistent, and the attempts to deal with them can become a source of suffering themselves. I have specific training in ERP(Exposure and Response Therapy), and understand that to most, this sounds overwhelming. The goal of ERP and the way I work with it, is to gradually cultivate an internal sense of safety- we work collaboratively and aim to not overwhelm your nervous system as we untangle these patterns.

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
Center for Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Mindfulness
Psychologist, PhD, JD
Not all therapists provide evidence-based therapies, and not all therapists who claim to provide CBT are specially trained in this approach. The Center for Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Mindfulness team consists of doctoral-level clinicians who are highly trained experts in cognitive behavioral therapies.
We are also trained in tailoring your treatment to your individual needs, so you can be sure you are receiving highly individualized care while also benefiting from the techniques that are proven to work.

OCD
Blair Pallas
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
Living with OCD often feels like a lifelong search for a certainty that never arrives. No matter how many times you try to answer a 'what-if' thought, ignore a fear, or seek reassurance, the urge always demands more. In our work together, I help you break these anxiety-driven patterns using Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP)—a practical, evidence-based approach that helps you stay in the driver's seat.
Through a mix of education, skills building and proven theraputic models, I walk alongside you as you learn to navigate the very uncertainty that at times feels impossible to handle. We don’t just talk about the cycle; we work together to change your response to it in real-time. Step by step, you’ll learn to make space for the unknown, reclaiming your time and energy to build a life that feels much bigger and freer than the one OCD has allowed you.

Philadelphia's identity as a historically working-class city with deep neighborhood roots shapes its therapy culture, with demand for therapists who understand economic stress, community violence, and the psychological weight of living in a city marked by stark racial and economic disparities. The city is home to world-class institutions including the University of Pennsylvania Health System, Jefferson Health, and Temple University Hospital, with a strong academic psychiatry and psychology community feeding into its private practice ecosystem. Philadelphia's large Black and Latino populations drive demand for culturally affirming therapists, and the city has a growing network of therapists of color across its diverse neighborhoods. Many practices are accessible via SEPTA, making therapy more reachable for clients across the city without cars.
