OCD
David Price
Counselor/Therapist, LIcensed Mental Health Counselor Associate (LMHCA) State of Washington
I use ACT-informed therapy by helping clients allow obsessive thoughts without engaging in compulsions, while repeatedly choosing values-based behavior over short-term relief. I integrate this with Exposure Response Prevention (ERP).

OCD
Dr. Danielle Watkins at Sound Wellness Counseling PLLC
Counselor/Therapist, PhD, LMFT, LMHC, NCC, PMH-C
Specializing in OCD treatment means focuses on helping individuals manage intrusive thoughts, compulsive behaviors, and cycles of anxiety that can disrupt daily life. This work supports clients in understanding how obsessions and compulsions function, while learning effective strategies to reduce their intensity and frequency. Using evidence-based approaches such as Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) and cognitive-behavioral techniques, counseling helps clients build tolerance for uncertainty, decrease ritual behaviors, and regain a sense of control. The goal is to empower individuals to live more freely and confidently, rather than feeling driven by fear or compulsions.

Tacoma is home to Joint Base Lewis-McChord — one of the largest military installations in the United States — and a significant portion of its therapy community is oriented toward the needs of active-duty service members, veterans, and military families navigating trauma, PTSD, and the emotional complexity of military life. The city has undergone significant revitalization in recent decades, with a growing arts and healthcare economy alongside the military and port sectors, and therapists frequently work with the identity and adjustment challenges of a city transforming its self-image. MultiCare Health System and CHI Franciscan provide institutional mental health resources alongside a growing private therapy community. Tacoma's diverse population — including large Pacific Islander, Black, and Latino communities — drives demand for culturally affirming therapists, and the University of Washington Tacoma feeds clinical training into the local community.
