Obsessive-Compulsive (OCD) Therapists in San Diego County, CA

I believe therapy is for anyone and everyone, and that seeking help is a sign of strength and resilience. Therapy can be both healing and empowering and integrating mindfulness-based approaches and other practical skills can help overwhelming situations feel more manageable and growth feel more actionable. By creating an empathetic, safe, non-judgemental space, I am dedicated to helping clients from all walks of life incorporate their unique identity into the therapeutic process.

As a compassionate psychotherapist, I specialize in helping individuals navigate the challenges of anxiety, OCD, and depression. My therapeutic approach is tailored to create a safe space for exploration and healing. Together, we can work towards managing symptoms, fostering resilience, and restoring a sense of well-being. Let's embark on this journey towards emotional wellness, building the tools you need to thrive.

At The Center for CBT & Mindfulness in North County San Diego, I provide time-limited, cost-effective and evidence-based treatments including the gold standard of care - Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. I treat patients across California and provide psychotherapy for anxiety and eating disorders including generalized anxiety, OCD, specific phobias, panic, social anxiety, perfectionism, high achiever and overcontrol issues, phase of life/adjustment challenges, acute/chronic stress, medical/dental avoidance, parenting and parent accommodation, ARFID and eating/food fears (neophobia, emetophobia, fear of choking, contamination).

I'm Jim Hatton, Ph.D. I began my career as a neuroscientist, and then realized my calling for helping people. I spent the next 20 years as a Marriage and Family therapist specializing in cognitive behavioral therapy, primarily working with people with OCD and Impulse Control Disorders like Trichotillomania and Compulsive Skin Picking. Becoming very familiar with ERP and Habit Reversal skills for treating these sufferers, I saw the additional need for helping the others, both family and treating professionals, around them directly (and thereby indirectly helping the sufferers too). This is where I currently conduct these efforts.

As a therapist, my goal is to provide the most effective treatment for individuals with Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD), Hoarding, Body Dysmorphic Disorder (BDD), Trichotillomania (Hair Pulling), and Excoriation (Dermatillomania - Skin Picking). I utilize Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), specifically Exposure & Response Prevention to help those suffering with OCD, Hoarding, BDD, and Habit Reversal Therapy to help those with pulling, picking, and Tics, as these evidence based treatments have proven to be the most effective. I believe with the right tools and support, people can learn to address these struggles and thrive.

Navigating life's challenges can feel overwhelming, and it's okay to seek support along the way! Whether you're struggling with managing stress, coping with difficult emotions, or facing obstacles in relationships, let me help you navigate the barriers that have prevented you from living the life you imagined. I collaborate with my clients because it is important to blend my therapeutic knowledge with your personal motivations. Working together to help you achieve your goals allows for the most growth and lasting success. Remember you are not your mental health. You have a name, a personality, a history, and a story to tell.

I have extensive experience and training in treating eating disorders, OCD, and addiction in partial hospitalization (PHP), intensive outpatient (IOP), and outpatient levels of care across the lifespan. My approach pulls from a number of evidence-based treatment modalities including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Family Based Treatment, Dialectical Behavior Therapy and Exposure and Response Prevention. I specialize in treating children, adolescents and families.

I help those who desire quiet from the noise of constant thinking, self-doubt, and worry. Those who are sick of feeling not good enough no matter how hard they try. Those who feel powerless against compulsive urges they can’t seem to resist. And those who want to let go of the mental chatter of a mind incessantly playing out worst case scenarios.

Any of these thoughts sound familiar? What if I harm someone? What if I harm myself? What if I act on an urge to do something I really don’t want to do? What if I am a bad person and just fooling everyone? What if I touched something that could contaminate me or my family? What if I want to act on that sexual thought I really didn’t like? What if I go to jail for something I did but forgot or didn't know? What if that thing I did will come back to haunt me? What if I cheat on my partner? What if I am with the 'wrong' partner even though I love my partner? What if my sexual orientation will change even though I don't want it to?

I specialize in the treatment of anxiety, obsessive compulsive disorder, eating disorders, self esteem, somatic issues, or life transitions in adults ages 18-40.

Are you feeling stuck in the trap of perfectionism, alone with high levels of emotional or physical pain, confused about sense of self or life direction, or wondering why your relationships aren't as fulfilling as you'd like? If so, we might be a good match to explore potential therapy together.
