Obsessive-Compulsive (OCD) Therapists in Kittanning, PA

Taking the first step of seeking support already shows tremendous strength and awareness! My outlook on therapy operates under the belief that people are always growing and changing towards a better version of themselves. Through experiences, achievements, mistakes and obstacles we all have the opportunity to learn and grow. As your counselor, I will always strive to help and encourage you to learn from your past, take power over your present, and look forward to your future. I take a holistic and eclectic approach to counseling and work with each person to identify their strengths and needs.

Hungry, Available, Teachable and Committed are the attitudes needed for change. With that, your goals become the focus of an informed, workable plan to help reach them. Change can be painful - but you should see persoal growth soon. That is how you know that you are making progress. In person or online, I hope to provide wisdom, tools and encouragment for your success.

Hello, I'm Dr. Yanet Vanegas, and I understand that seeking support for mental well-being can be a challenging journey. I'm a child and adolescent psychologist and a perinatal mental health certified provider. My approach goes beyond merely treating symptoms. It’s about sparking lasting change and fostering personal growth. I create personalized treatment plans using the latest therapeutic techniques, including CBT, Exposure Response Prevention (ERP) therapy for OCD, and DBT.

If you are looking for a therapist who can help you feel more in control of your life and your emotions, you are at the right place. I have experience working with people suffering from anxiety, depression, and difficult life transitions. Getting to know yourself deeper is a primary goal of therapy, as it will allow you to figure out what you might need in life: your relationships, work life, hobbies. You will discover healthy ways to cope with things outside of your control, instead of using self-destructive ways. I will assist you by offering a space free of judgment and stigma.

I have a waitlist. Are you looking to free yourself from anxiety? Are you avoiding places, things, or situations because you might have a panic attack? Are obsessive thoughts and compulsions pulling you further and further away from enjoining your life? Anxiety seems to have a way of creating rules that people need to follow just to keep it all together. The problem is, the more we follow anxiety's rules, the more powerful it becomes. It can start to feel like your life has gotten smaller, more rigid, even less fun as the anxiety continues to grow. If you have found my page, then you are likely hoping to take your life back.

I am a helper at heart and take pride in being an advocate for mental health, well-being and self-care. Outside of my experience in outpatient therapy, my background includes work in child protective services and higher levels of mental health-care (inpatient treatment, residential treatment, family-based therapy). My goal is to support clients in cultivating a healthier headspace by prioritizing their mental wellbeing and aiming for progress over perfection. I help my clients begin to heal and grow while working to combat the stigma that surrounds mental health and treatment.
