OCD
Merrisa Dawn Santos
Licensed Professional Counselor, MA, LPC, NCC, CCTMHP, CCTP
In supporting patients struggling with OCD issues, I provide compassionate and evidence-based interventions to help them manage their symptoms and improve their quality of life. Through therapy, we work on understanding the underlying fears and compulsions driving their OCD behaviors. I offer cognitive-behavioral techniques such as exposure and response prevention to help them gradually confront and reduce their obsessive thoughts and compulsive behaviors. Additionally, we focus on developing coping strategies, relaxation techniques, and mindfulness practices to manage anxiety and stress. The goal is to empower patients to regain control over their lives and engage in meaningful activities, despite their OCD symptoms, leading to greater freedom and well-being.

OCD
Claudia Mellott
Licensed Professional Counselor, MS, LCPC
Obsessive-compulsive disorder, OCD, if untreated, tends to get worse as time goes on. Put simply, humans get better at what they practice. If one engages in obsessive thinking, one becomes a better obsessive thinker. Obsessive thinking and/or compulsive actions rob people of much needed time as well as energy. Treatment usually includes a combination of psychoeducation, cognitive-behavioral therapy, CBT, and anxiety reducing skills such as breathing techniques. Studies show that the most effective results for OCD is a combination of medication and psychotherapy.

These experiences have equipped me with a deep understanding of complex mental health concerns and a commitment to delivering effective, evidence-based care. My goal is to help you break free from unhelpful patterns, enhance your emotional well-being, and move toward a more balanced and fulfilling life. Together, we’ll develop an approach tailored to your unique needs, ensuring you feel supported every step of the way.
