OCD
Alton Wampler
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC-S
From an Internal Family Systems perspective, obsessive-compulsive symptoms are often understood as protective parts that use intrusive thoughts and compulsive behaviors to prevent feared harm or reduce anxiety. These parts are typically attempting to protect more vulnerable exiled parts that carry fear, uncertainty, or a need for control and safety. Therapy focuses on helping clients access Self to build a compassionate relationship with these parts, allowing the system to reduce reliance on compulsions as underlying fears are addressed.

OCD
David B. Shaw, Ph.D.
Psychologist, Ph.D.
In my treatment for OCD, I provide a specialized approach centered on Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP), the gold standard for breaking the cycle of intrusive thoughts and repetitive behaviors. I work closely with you to identify your triggers and develop structured exercises that help you face fears without relying on compulsions, gradually reducing their power over your life. By combining this with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), I empower you to reframe your relationship with uncertainty and regain the freedom to focus on what truly matters.

OCD
Camille Larsen
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC, LAC
Are you obsessing inside and performing internal (thought) or behavioral compulsions to try to manage your anxiety? Is it getting worse? Is it interrupting your life and frustrating the people who care about you? You can improve with help.
I am trained in Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) for OCD, which is an evidence-based OCD treatment and is tailored to be challenging but not overwhelming. We set small, achievable goals each session. I do a lot of this work and get very good results. Be prepared for practice in between sessions as part of ERP so you can live more fully in the ways you want.

Chesapeake is the largest city in Virginia by land area — a mostly suburban and semi-rural community spread across the southern Hampton Roads region — with a therapy landscape shaped by its proximity to Naval Station Norfolk and the broader military community, as well as the particular stresses of a sprawling suburb where long commutes and limited walkable community can contribute to social isolation. The city's large African American population and its place within Hampton Roads' racially complex social fabric create demand for culturally affirming therapists who work with racial identity, community resilience, and intergenerational family dynamics. Chesapeake Regional Medical Center provides institutional mental health resources alongside the broader Hampton Roads healthcare ecosystem. Many Chesapeake residents access therapy through the wider Norfolk-Virginia Beach metro, given the city's geographic extent and integration with the regional mental health network.
