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.

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.

Dr. Colby Cohen-Archer
Psychologist, PhD
Do you experience intrusive unwanted and distressing images or thoughts? Feel like there are things you have to count, check, Google, or think through in order to feel better? OCD, especially when it shows up after childbirth, is often misunderstood, and can make every part of life harder. I use evidence based treatments, including ERP, to help you get free of the OCD voice. Therapy focuses on breaking unhelpful patterns, building confidence to face uncertainty, and identifying what is most important and meaningful to you. Therapy for OCD is both supportive and active. Together we will create a step by step plan to get your life back from OCD, and I will be with you every step of the way. A life of freedom from constant fear and time consuming rituals is possible!
