OCD
Kelly McAleer
Psychologist, Psy.D.
I have experience working with adults with OCD, including primarily obsessional presentations often referred to as Pure O. My approach integrates ERP with acceptance-based and self-compassion strategies to help clients respond differently to intrusive thoughts, reduce compulsive patterns and reassurance-seeking, tolerate uncertainty, and relate to themselves with less judgment.

OCD
Patrick Powers
Marriage and Family Therapist, PhD, LMFT
OCD is my passion and my first reason for becoming a therapist. I have extensive background in and have been certified by the International OCD Foundation and Massachusetts General Hospital in the use of gold standard treatments. I use Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) coupled with cognitive work, while taking care to consider and address life context and attachment issues at play for my clients. Treatment is difficult but I love playing the role of encouraging coach throughout the process. I also have a particular comfort with the sorts of obsessions people often feel terrified to bring up to anyone, including therapists. I love working with intrusive thoughts about anything- relationships, existential fears, sexual orientation, incest, pedophilia, harm...you name it. We really can talk about it. It's not a big deal.

Healing OCD from Within: An Integrated IFS & EFT Approach
OCD can feel like a relentless, hijacking force—a cycle of fear, urgent demands, and exhausting compulsions that leaves you feeling disconnected from yourself. As a therapist trained in Internal Family Systems (IFS) and Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), I offer a compassionate, non-pathologizing approach that goes beyond just managing symptoms.
With IFS, we won't fight your OCD; we will get to know it. We will treat the obsessions and compulsions as protective "parts" of your internal system—managers and firefighters that are trying to keep you safe from deep-seated fears or past pain (exiles). By helping you access your core "Self" (a place of calm, curiosity, and compassion), we can unblend from these intense parts, understand their positive intent, and help them trust you to manage life without extreme, rigid behaviors.
With EFT, we will focus on the emotional undertones—the shame, overwhelming anxiety, and, often, attachment-related fears that fuel the OCD. We will explore these raw, primary emotions to transform how you respond to uncertainty, building emotional regulation and creating a sense of inner security.
Together, this integrated approach helps you move from being a prisoner of your thoughts to leading your internal system with compassion, fostering lasting, self-driven healing.

OCD
Wellspring Healing and Therapy
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT, CMHC, LCSW
We view OCD as driven by protective parts attempting to create certainty or prevent harm. Rather than battling these parts, we help you relate to them with curiosity and compassion while reducing their grip on your life. Our approach supports increased flexibility, trust, and choice.
