Hello! My name is William (Will) Park, and I am a Mental Health Counselor based in Queens, New York. I work with adolescents and adults ranging from early teens to middle age with a variety of cultural backgrounds. Many of my clients come in when they experience symptoms of Anxiety, Depression, Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder, and major life changes. As someone who has experienced these symptoms firsthand, I'm passionate about providing service to these populations. Together I hope to not only explore these issues and provide tangible tools, but also nurture a relationship where you feel heard and understood.

I commonly work with clients seeking help on things such as panic disorder, ADHD, depression, OCD, grief, trauma/PTSD, and substance use.
Initiating change in life is hard, but therapy can help you make movement in areas where you have felt stuck. I believe the work we do in therapy is not only about feeling better or gaining insight, but also about feeling whole. While the process can be difficult, it can also be rewarding. I enjoy doing this work with my clients and appreciate being a part of their process. I recognize how difficult it can be to find the right therapist and I’m happy to speak to you by phone for a free consultation. Don't hesitate to email me with any questions.

You may have had to minimize, detach from, or hide parts of yourself to feel safe or to survive. Navigating experiences like discrimination, ableism, racism, and microaggressions leave lasting imprints in the mind and also the body. So often, disconnection becomes habitual, and these imprints might manifest as anxiety, depression, OCD, and/or as addiction to substances or to sex. I use somatic therapy to create a supportive space to help you recognize and process these experiences, allowing for emotional healing and greater alignment with your true self.

Obsessive-Compulsive (OCD) Therapists

How long does OCD treatment take?

Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) is often treated on a weekly or twice-weekly schedule, depending on symptom severity and the client’s preferences. Some clients may start to see a noticeable improvement in symptoms in as little as six weeks, but it’s also possible, especially in more severe cases, for treatment to take several months to a year before significant progress is made.

What happens if OCD is not treated?

Some people with OCD, especially those with mild symptoms, may find that they are able to adapt reasonably well to life with the condition, even if their symptoms never resolve completely. However, many people, particularly those whose symptoms are severe at the outset, find that their obsessions and compulsions grow more intrusive with time, making it harder to maintain relationships, hold down a job, or navigate the world successfully.

Are there medications for OCD?

Medication can be used to treat OCD. The class of drugs most often prescribed are selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors, or SSRIs, which include fluvoxamine (under the brand name Luvox), fluoxetine (Prozac), and sertraline (Zoloft), among others. In cases of treatment-resistant OCD, other classes of medication, such as tricyclic antidepressants or atypical antipsychotics, may be prescribed. Medication is frequently used in conjunction with therapy.

Can OCD come back after treatment?

Yes. Major life transitions, periods of stress, or other factors can cause symptoms to return or, if they were never fully eradicated, to ramp back up in intensity. For some, these relapses are brief and do not require additional treatment; identifying specific triggers and practicing the skills learned in therapy can help speed their course. For others, returning to therapy for a brief period can help address the underlying stress and strengthen coping mechanisms.
