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
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.

Newport News is defined by its location at the heart of the Hampton Roads shipbuilding and military industrial complex — home to Newport News Shipbuilding (a division of HII), one of the country's largest and most strategically significant defense contractors — creating a therapy community serving a large workforce navigating the psychological pressures of national security-adjacent industrial work alongside the region's substantial military population. The city has a large African American population with deep community roots in the Peninsula, and culturally affirming therapists who understand racial trauma, community resilience, and the particular dynamics of working-class Black life in Hampton Roads are an important part of the local landscape. Riverside Regional Medical Center provides institutional mental health resources alongside a private therapy community. Newport News shares the Hampton Roads mental health ecosystem with Norfolk, Virginia Beach, and Hampton, and residents often access care across the region.
