Kevin Foss MFT

About

I am a licensed therapist (MFT) in the states of California and Montana. I am the founder of the California OCD and Anxiety Treatment Center in Fullerton, CA. With CalOCD, I do a great deal of teletherapy, or online video-chat treatment, Intensive Out-Patient (IOP) treatment, and of course traditional face-to-face therapy. Teletherapy has become a primary tool in my practice and has helped me reach people who would not otherwise be able to find effective treatment. My OCD treatment journey began in 2008 when I began working with the Westwood Institute for Anxiety Disorders, a dedicated 3-week intensive out-patient program. Additionally, starting in 2012, I worked with the OCD Center of Los Angeles, a private practice specializing in OCD, anxiety, and BFRB treatment.
