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.

Dr. Allison Williams
Psychologist, Psy.D.

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.

Norfolk is home to Naval Station Norfolk — the world's largest naval base — and sits at the center of the Hampton Roads military metro, with a therapy community substantially defined by the needs of active-duty service members, veterans, and military families navigating deployment stress, PTSD, and the challenges of military life. The city's large African American population and history of racial inequity create consistent demand for culturally affirming therapists who work with racial trauma, community resilience, and intergenerational family dynamics. Sentara Norfolk General Hospital and the Hampton VA Medical Center provide major institutional mental health anchors for the region. Old Dominion University, which absorbed Eastern Virginia Medical School in 2024, maintains clinical training programs that feed practitioners into the broader Norfolk therapy community.
