Dr. Mike Strand
Psychologist, PsyD
Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) traps you in a cycle of repetitive thoughts and behaviors, stealing moments of peace and creating barriers to living freely. The constant battle with uncertainty and the need for control can feel overwhelming, as if your own mind is both your sanctuary and prison. My specialized OCD treatment offers a pathway out, equipping you with strategies to break free from these cycles, regain control, and embrace the spontaneity of life with confidence.

Greta Carlson, Psy.D., ABPP
Psychologist, Licensed Clinical Psychologist
I provide prolonged exposure (PE) therapy for OCD. In this type of treatment, you learn skills to regulate anxiety as it arises in response to environmental triggers, and work on using these skills in session when faced with a compulsion-triggering stimulus. We focus on psychoeducation on obsessional thinking and compulsive behavior patterns, and gradually work with you to use skills instead of engaging in compulsions, so you can have more time and and attention for your relationships, interests, and passions.

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.

Grace in the Shadows
Licensed Professional Counselor, PhD, MDiv, MA, NCMHC, ALMHC, VALMHC, SCMHC, FLMHC, KYMHC, IDMHC
I address Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) with a compassionate and holistic approach, integrating psychological techniques with Christian principles. Recognizing the challenges of OCD, I create a therapeutic environment rooted in faith, incorporating prayer, scriptural reflection, and discussions on trust in God's plan. Evidence-based therapies such as Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT) are utilized to help individuals manage obsessions and compulsions, while spiritual practices are integrated to support the healing process. I guide clients in finding spiritual meaning and coping mechanisms aligned with their faith. Encouraging individuals to surrender perfectionism and fears to God, I foster a balance between psychological strategies and reliance on faith to navigate the journey towards healing and recovery from OCD.
