OCD
Meghan McGinn
Psychologist, PhD
Is OCD putting a strain on your relationship? You’re not alone. Think of OCD as a relentless bully, constantly dictating how you should act—or else. But this bully doesn’t just target you; it infiltrates your relationship, too. Your partner may feel pressured to follow certain behaviors dictated by OCD, and over time, that pressure can turn into frustration or resentment. When your partner pushes back, it might feel like hostility toward you. Now, you’re not only struggling with intrusive thoughts and anxiety but also the pain of feeling unsupported or blamed in your relationship. If this is your experience, working with a couple therapist that fully understands the nature of OCD is essential. Couple therapy can help you and your partner to develop a shared understanding of how to best respond when OCD shows up, so that you are united in taking a stand against this bully, rather than letting it come between you.

OCD
Maria Jose Rendon
Psychologist, Ph.D.
I work with adults navigating OCD, including contamination-focused presentations and relationship OCD, using Exposure and Response Prevention, the gold-standard, evidence-based treatment for OCD, trained through the IOCDF. Many of my OCD clients are professionals or scientists whose perfectionism and OCD feed each other, or first-generation Latinx adults for whom family or cultural expectations add another layer to their intrusive thoughts. I offer sessions in English or Spanish.

OCD
Cindy Haines, Psy.D
Psychologist, Psy.D
Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) can create constant, overwhelming thoughts (obsessions) and lead to repetitive behaviors (compulsions) as a way to reduce anxiety. At Stress & Anxiety Services, we specialize in treating OCD using evidence-based therapies that are proven to help individuals regain control and reduce the impact of OCD on their lives. Our approach includes: Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP): The gold-standard treatment for OCD, where individuals gradually face their fears while learning to resist engaging in compulsive behaviors. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT): Helps identify and challenge obsessive thoughts and the compulsive behaviors they trigger, leading to healthier thinking patterns. -Mindfulness Techniques: Encourages awareness and acceptance of distressing thoughts without acting on them, reducing the power of obsessions. Through secure telehealth services, we offer expert OCD treatment wherever you are. With our tailored approach, you can work towards reducing compulsive behaviors and living a more peaceful, fulfilling life.

OCD
Kelly McAleer
Psychologist, Psy.D.
I have experience working with adults with OCD, including primarily obsessional presentations often referred to as Pure O. My approach integrates ERP with acceptance-based and self-compassion strategies to help clients respond differently to intrusive thoughts, reduce compulsive patterns and reassurance-seeking, tolerate uncertainty, and relate to themselves with less judgment.

Center for Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Mindfulness
Psychologist, PhD, JD
Not all therapists provide evidence-based therapies, and not all therapists who claim to provide CBT are specially trained in this approach. The Center for Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Mindfulness team consists of doctoral-level clinicians who are highly trained experts in cognitive behavioral therapies.
We are also trained in tailoring your treatment to your individual needs, so you can be sure you are receiving highly individualized care while also benefiting from the techniques that are proven to work.
