Obsessive-Compulsive (OCD) Therapists in Hinsdale, IL

Hello! I'm Kimberly. I am a therapist who prioritizes genuine human connection and compassion and understands the importance of finding a therapist with whom you feel connected and safe with. I strive to provide a space that is casual, relaxed, and authentic while also ensuring that the hard work of therapy is able to be done. Some of my hopes for therapy are to help you live your life in a value aligned way, to encourage you to hold compassion for yourself, to better understand the relationship between thoughts and behaviors, and to help you practice acceptance of things we cannot change or control.

I specialize in treating anxiety disorders and OCD in tweens, teens, and adults; perinatal and postpartum anxiety, OCD, and depression; and women's mental health issues. I feel strongly about using evidence based strategies which include Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Exposure Response Prevention, and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy.

Reaching out to a therapist for help can be scary. As someone who has been on both sides of the couch, I understand firsthand how overwhelming the process can be. I want you to feel comfortable, safe, and supported through your mental health journey! I incorporate compassion, empathy, humor, and understanding into every session. I also have a therapy bunny, named Benny, who loves to jump into the laps of clients and beg for attention. I want you to look forward to your sessions, and I am ready to create a therapeutic bond with you.

There are moments in life where reaching out for support is the hardest and most courageous thing we can do. I'm here to validate that strength and empower you to sustain those meaningful steps on your journey. I believe building a safe, non-judgmental, trusting, and collaborative therapist-client relationship is an essential part of the therapeutic process. I view clients from an empowerment-focused, holistic, person-centered, multicultural, and unconditionally positive perspective.

So, how's the scroll? Looking for a therapist can be stressful enough because most people are unsure how to find the right therapist. The greatest predictor of success in therapy is the strength of the relationship with your counselor. In other words, it’s best to choose someone that you click with because it’s going to be easier for you to trust the process. I’m definitely a straight shooter, and I tell it like it is, but I always have your best interests in mind. I combine evidence-based treatments with talk therapy, and somehow, humor tends to creep in from time to time too.

I view concerns that bring people to therapy as part of the larger system that is being a human - my core therapeutic modality is Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, because our thoughts truly influence how we feel and what we do. I am more direct in what I bring to the session and specialize in Obsessive Compulsive Disorders, Anxiety, and Depression and use Exposure and Response Prevention for OCD, Exposure Therapy for Anxiety, and Behavioral Activation for Depression. I incorporate a Person-Centered Approach into every session.

The human experience of anxiety is normal and adaptive. We would not be adequately prepared for important challenges in life if we did not experience some anxiety and fear. Anxiety is not longer adaptive when it overpowers the person and creates obstacles and challenges that interfere with daily life. At this point, a diagnosable condition may have developed. I provide specialized treatment for adults with the various anxiety disorders, including social anxiety disorder (social phobia), generalized anxiety disorder, panic, specific phobias, and obsessive compulsive disorder. I also treat conditions that commonly occur with anxiety disorders like depression or sleep disturbance.

My practice focuses primarily on the treatment of adolescents (16 and older) and adults with OCD and anxiety disorders, depression, self-injury, young adult struggles, interpersonal conflict, and trauma. I am particularly passionate about working with individuals struggling with OCD (e.g. excessive hand-washing, repetitive checking behaviors, scrupulosity) and Social Anxiety (e.g. fear of embarrassment). I have extensive training in Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy.

The biggest desire I have in my life is to help people. In this difficult time, everyone needs someone to rely on and navigate through life's challenges. I am an experienced counselor who is passionate about working with children, adolescents, and adults who struggle with OCD, anxiety, depression, substance abuse, and BFRB. My treatment approach is based on CBT, Exposure Therapy, ACT, REBT, Mindfulness, and Solution-Focused Therapy. Utilizing evidence-based therapies ensures that my patients are receiving the most up-to-date, effective, and efficient therapeutic interventions available.

If you are feeling trapped and consumed by anxiety, an eating disorder, body image distress or OCD, I am a personable, compassionate and non-judgmental therapist who can help you take charge of your life again. I would feel privileged to provide you with a safe space and useful coping tools in a friendly therapeutic setting. Intense emotions and obsessive thinking often take us out of the present moment and slow our progress towards a life of passion, presence and purpose.

Everyone, at some point in their lives, faces difficulties that seem impossible to overcome. I believe that these struggles can be an opportunity for growth and change.

The step to enter into counseling is a courageous one, it encompasses your willingness to connect, to be vulnerable, and to seek hope in healing. I see counseling as a way for clients to make change, to liberate one’s self from patterns of thinking, feeling and behaving that may not be serving you effectively. These patterns are often imposed by society, family, and ones' own culture and/or gender. Counseling is a space to help navigate all that comes with life’s changes. In practice, I specialize in anxiety, depression, grief/loss, OCD, infertility, postpartum, relationships, job change/loss, and other adjustment related stressors.
