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
Dr. Linda G. Ritchie, Ph.D.
Psychologist, Ph.D., LPC, LMFT, Certified Hypnotherapist
If you’re struggling with OCD, you may feel trapped in a cycle of intrusive thoughts and repetitive behaviors that are difficult to control. You might recognize that the thoughts don’t make sense, yet still feel driven to check, repeat, or mentally review things to reduce anxiety. Over time, this can become exhausting, time-consuming, and frustrating—especially when it feels like the harder you try to stop, the stronger the urges become.
I help clients understand and change the patterns that keep OCD going. Using Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), we work to identify the thought patterns and behaviors that reinforce the cycle. I incorporate structured strategies to help you gradually reduce compulsions and tolerate uncertainty, while using clinical hypnosis, Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT/tapping), and NLP to address the underlying anxiety and automatic responses. I also integrate Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help you relate differently to intrusive thoughts—so they have less power over your behavior and your day-to-day life.
What’s often missing isn’t awareness—you likely already know the thoughts are irrational or excessive. What’s missing is a structured way to break the cycle of obsession and compulsion without increasing anxiety in the process. Without that, OCD tends to maintain itself, even when you’re highly motivated to change.
The fact that you’re here suggests you’re ready to approach this differently. If you’re willing to learn a new way of responding, I can help you reduce compulsions, manage intrusive thoughts more effectively, and regain a sense of control over your time, your mind, and your life.

OCD
Tracey Knows
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC
Living with OCD can feel exhausting, with intrusive thoughts, compulsions, and fear-driven behaviors taking over daily life. I help individuals learn how to embrace and accept their tendencies rather than fight against them, reducing the shame and anxiety that often accompany OCD. Through Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP), mindfulness, and cognitive techniques, I guide clients in disrupting irrational fears and thought spirals while building resilience against intrusive thoughts. My approach also focuses on calming the nervous system, reducing panic attacks, and fostering a greater sense of self-trust and emotional regulation.
