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.

Shele Lillis
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC-S, CFRC
Living with OCD can be exhausting, often leaving individuals trapped in cycles of doubt, anxiety, and repetitive behaviors. I provide a supportive and non-judgmental space where clients can learn effective strategies to manage intrusive thoughts, reduce compulsive behaviors, and increased psychological flexibility. My goal is to help clients break free from OCD's grip and move toward a life guided by their values rather than their fears.

Licensed Professional Counselor, Ed.D., LPC
I use components of PE, ERP, and DBT to help your brain lessen the intensity of its rumination. Intrusive thoughts are not your thoughts, they are not warnings of what you WANT to do. They are your brain's misguided effort to protect you from those things. We can work together to help give your brain better tools.

Melena Ayres
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW-S, LCDC
Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) can feel like being stuck in a loop of intrusive thoughts and behaviors that are hard to stop—even when you know they don’t make sense. It’s not about being “particular” or “organized”—it’s about feeling distressed and the need for relief. I provide a supportive, nonjudgmental space to help you understand your OCD and learn evidence-based strategies to reduce its hold on your life, including ERP and EMDR.

Lisa H Lang, Ph.D.
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC, LMFT, CCBT, CCHT
With obsessive-compulsive disorder, it`s as though the brain gets stuck on a particular thought, urge or behavior.
Obsessions are thoughts, and impulses that occur over and over again and seem to be out of control.
Obsessions are accompanied by a sense that things must be done in a way that is "just so"--perfectionism that becomes problematic.
People with OCD attempt to make their obsessions go away by performing compulsive behaviors.
Compulsions are acts performed over and over again.
The compulsive rituals are performed to obtain relief from the discomfort caused by the obsessive thoughts and impulses.
OCD symptoms can occur in people of all ages.
Normal worries and fears may increase during times of stress.
These symptoms become OCD when they persist, make no sense, seem out of control, and interfere with normal functioning.
Understand your symptoms and learn what to do about them by using cognitive behavioral skills.
The goal is to change your thought patterns to gain a sense of control and well-being.

Michael J. Salas
Counselor/Therapist, PsyD, LPC-S, LCDC, CSAT, CST
OCD is more than just being neat or liking things a certain way. It’s a cycle of intrusive thoughts and compulsive behaviors that can feel exhausting and impossible to control. You might find yourself checking, overthinking, repeating rituals, or getting stuck in mental loops that don’t make sense—but still feel urgent or necessary.
I work with people who are tired of managing their lives around anxiety and rituals. Whether your OCD shows up in relationships, fears around harm or contamination, intrusive sexual or religious thoughts, or just a constant sense of “what if,” we can start to untangle the patterns and reduce the hold they have on your life.
OCD is treatable. With the right approach and support, it’s possible to live with more freedom, less fear, and a greater sense of calm.

McKinney is one of the fastest-growing cities in the United States, a rapidly expanding Dallas-area suburb in Collin County whose population has surged with families and professionals drawn by strong schools, lower housing costs than central Dallas, and a robust job market. The pace of growth itself creates mental health demand—new residents navigating relocation stress, parents managing the pressures of achievement-oriented suburban culture, and young professionals balancing demanding careers with family life are among the most common therapy clientele. Medical City McKinney and a growing network of private practices serve the community, and the proximity to Dallas's much larger therapy market gives residents additional options via telehealth or a short commute. Common therapy concerns include anxiety, life transitions, relationship and parenting stress, and the particular strains of raising a family in one of America's most rapidly transforming suburban landscapes.
