Obsessive-Compulsive (OCD) Therapists in Los Angeles, CA
I currently offer an online OCD group.
Many of us recognize our lives lack fulfillment. We long for love, belonging and feelings of success. We crave peace of mind. Trauma and negative schemas often make achieving our goals difficult and we find ourselves right back where we started, as if in a loop. More than ever, we need someone to hear us. Luckily, Mental Health awareness has increased and you are in the right place to find help. My group practice includes myself and two other fantastic therapists, Ryan Muldoon AMFT and Gabrielle Amoils Pollak LMFT

I have had 3 years experience working with OCD clients utilizing ERP, one of the most effective therapies for OCD treatment.
Effective OCD treatment means challenging yourself to do those things you fear—not just speak about them. With therapy, change is easy to see, but it takes your hard work and dedication to do the opposite of what has been protecting you from stress, anxiety, and fear. Living in an OCD cycle is distressing and time consuming, but often times comfortable; its repetitive and ritualistic nature provides a false sense of safety and control. Effective OCD treatment requires a willingness to abandoned your tried and true (though unhealthy) methods try something new. Together, we can enact the change you’d like to see in your life.

I specialize in treating OCD and Anxiety related disorders which I have extensive experience working with in treatment centers and helping clients through Exposure Response Prevention (ERP) and ACT.
Feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or burdened by the many curveballs life throws at you? You're not alone, a fully lived life inevitably includes difficult experiences which can lead to emotional distress, intrusive thoughts, or avoidance. Feelings of anxiety and depression can seem like they own us and control our lives, but they don't have to. Rather than be a victim of our feelings we can learn to manage our experience of living with them instead of numbing out with Netflix binges or substance use. We can get back in the driver's seat of our life's journey and start living our best lives!

Welcome to the psychotherapy world! I work in a collaborative and compassionate style to help further understand and address the concerns that led you to search for some relief from the way you are currently feeling.

I mostly work with men who are dealing with generalized anxiety, social anxiety, OCD, adult ADHD, panic disorder, difficulties with stress management, and life transitions.
Selecting a new therapist can be a little intimidating. This may be your first time seeking a therapist or you may have some experience with therapy. My commitment is to make the process of beginning therapy as smooth as possible. One of the most important aspects of being a human being is the ability to empathize with someone else. Therapy ought to be a time and space in which you can share your experience and sense that you are actually heard, seen, understood, and affirmed.

To treat OCD, I use Inference-based Therapy (IBT or I-CBT), an evidence-based treatment for OCD that is gentler but as effective as doing exposures (ERP).
I received my BA with Honors from Brown University and my master’s from Boston College. I acquired my clinical training at McLean Hospital, Harvard Medical School’s largest psychiatric affiliate, in the division of Anxiety & Mood Disorders. I also trained at the OCD Institute, the nation’s first and foremost treatment center for obsessive-compulsive disorder. I help adults with anxiety and OCD move past the “what if's” and live life with confidence and trust. Most of my clients have OCD themes that center on identity, sexuality, morality, relationships, and harm (“Pure O”). I also treat couples struggling with communication issues.

Together, we will set boundaries with OCD so that you can start to enjoy your life.
You are tired of having intrusive thoughts that make you wonder “what if” about every little thing. You desperately want to stop checking things over and over. Deep in your heart you worry: "Is this really who I am?" You are terrified of talking about all this. You don't want to be labeled a "bad person" or even falsely reported to authorities. You just want someone to make you feel certain that none of your scary thoughts or fears will come true.
