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
Kreins Psychological Services
Psychologist, PhD, PsyD
As a psychologist specializing in obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), my treatment approach is tailored to address the unique symptoms and challenges experienced by each individual. Through evidence-based therapies such as cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), particularly exposure and response prevention (ERP), I work collaboratively with clients to identify and challenge obsessive thoughts and compulsive behaviors. By gradually exposing individuals to feared stimuli while refraining from engaging in compulsions, we aim to reduce anxiety and disrupt the cycle of obsessions and compulsions. Additionally, I incorporate mindfulness techniques and acceptance-based strategies to help clients develop a more adaptive relationship with uncertainty and discomfort. Psychoeducation plays a crucial role in enhancing understanding of OCD and building skills for long-term management. My goal is to empower individuals to regain control over their lives, reduce OCD symptoms, and improve overall quality of life.
