OCD
Tara Thompson
Licensed Professional Counselor, MS, LPC
Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) can significantly impact someone's life, particularly concerning addictions, relationship issues, or depression. For example, imagine someone who feels compelled to perform certain rituals or behaviors to alleviate their anxiety. These compulsions can consume a lot of time and energy, making it difficult to maintain healthy relationships or cope with everyday stressors. As a therapist specializing in these cases, I would provide a supportive environment for the individual to talk about their experiences and struggles. We would work together to develop strategies for managing their OCD symptoms and finding healthier ways to cope with stress and improve their relationships.

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.

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.
