Obsessive-Compulsive (OCD) Therapists in Punxsutawney, PA

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor who believes that client's are able to make real, lasting changes in a therapeutic environment that is supportive and nonjudgmental. I strive to provide a safe and insightful space for individuals, couples, and families who are ready to make those changes.

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.

I have years of experience counseling people of all ages with anxiety, depression, ADHD, bipolar disorder, PTSD, grief, OCD, autism, substance use disorder & many others. I am passionate about helping others become the best versions of themselves. I’m willing to learn anything so I can help more people going through difficult times in their lives.

Clients often describe me as authentic, determined, and insightful. I can offer you direct solutions founded on evidence-based techniques that will help you solve your problems. I can also dive deeper with you to explore the roots behind your troubles and true self. Clients regularly find my combination of skills-based and insight-oriented therapy to be highly effective as it offers both practical utility and depth. For OCD, I specifically use Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP).

Ethical and competent care is available in the safety of your home using video telehealth and is my priority as we establish our counseling relationship.

I am trained in and value the use of Exposure and Response Prevention to aid in the reduction of OCD and anxiety symptoms.

OCD is a special interest, and I use exposure and response prevention. I believe that with patience, a positive outlook and good rapport, much is possible.

I have a special interest in treating OCD and anxiety disorders, helping my clients learn techniques to live life on their terms instead of their fears. However, I also have interest in helping people struggling with relationship difficulties through couples counseling, perinatal and postpartum disorders, and life transitions.

Hello! My name is Max Croteau and I have had the pleasure of being a licensed professional counselor for almost 10 years now. In this time, I have been able to mold my style of understanding, accepting while also challenging and motivational into a successful model of growth and change for those who choose to work with me. I truly am a believer that therapy can sometimes be a side-by-side process, or it can be a process where one guides and the other follows, but ultimately the choice is up to you. I don’t want you to live a life that I tell you to live.

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 believe that counseling is a collaborative process between client and counselor. You bring your personal strengths, preferences, and experience. I bring objectivity, encouragement, and tools to help you make the most of your life. If you are struggling with anxiety, obsessive thoughts, and fear , I use an active approach to help you face your fears, when possible.

My clinical experience began in general private practice, and I later moved on to develop a more specialized treatment approach through an internship with The Center for OCD and Anxiety in August 2020. From there, I transitioned into my roles as Associate Therapist, Intake Manager, and Caregiver Support Group Leader until February 2024. As I believe that effective therapy includes an appropriate balance of empathy, humor, active listening, and proper guidance rooted in evidence-based practices, I utilize an eclectic mix of therapeutic modalities (listed below) to tailor treatment according to the specific needs of each individual.
