Willow & Arbor, PLLC
Counselor/Therapist
OCD is often met with advice to ignore intrusive thoughts or 'just relax.' These well meaning but unhelpful attempts can leave someone struggling with OCD to sink further and further into self-loathing and blame, ultimately feeding and emboldening the OCD. We will work through the history of your OCD experience, help you identify how OCD manifests, collaborate with you to validate and strengthen your authentic self, and also develop strategies for recovery.

Obsessions, compulsions, and they way they can interfere with daily life can become exhausting.

Dr. Stephanie Vaughn
Psychologist, Psy.D., DBT-LBC™
Exposure and Response Prevention (EX/RP) is the way to go, here. Did you know that there is such as thing as "Pure obsessive" or "Pure O" OCD? Not all OCD involves behavioral compulsions such as counting or hand washing. Some of it is mental compulsions only! Unless you're a true expert, diagnosing OCD can be extremely difficult. Misdiagnoses can be dangerous and costly.

Online in Memphis, TN
Memphis has among the highest rates of poverty and violent crime in the United States, and its therapists frequently specialize in trauma, PTSD, and the psychological effects of chronic community-level violence and economic stress. The city's African American community — which comprises a majority of the population and carries a rich cultural heritage rooted in blues, soul, and civil rights history — drives strong demand for culturally affirming therapists who understand racial trauma and intergenerational resilience. Regional One Health and Baptist Memorial Health Care provide major institutional mental health resources alongside a growing network of community clinics. Memphis's deep musical identity sustains a creative community with its own distinctive mental health needs around artistic expression, economic precarity, and the weight of legacy.
