As a Clinician with over two decades of experience working in Psychiatry at Newton-Wellesley Hospital, I have also been in Private Practice as a Therapist specializing in the assessment and treatment of Obsessive Compulsive Disorder, Anxiety Disorders, Depression and Stress/Loss of Chronic Illness. Because I found there were few if any professionally led groups for OCD Sufferers, I developed an active Group Program for Adults with OCD. My style is warm and direct with a desire to work together to build on your strengths using Cognitive Behavioral Treatment/Exposure & Response Prevention and Psychotherapy. OCD Family Guidance also.
Please feel free to contact me for a 15-20 minute phone consultation (no fee) to see if you would like to go ahead and schedule an appointment. I will work with you at your own pace, especially regarding CBT/ERP for OCD. The treatment takes work, but it does not have to be intolerable for OCD to improve.
One important point regarding my practice that may differ from other OCD Treatment in the area is this. I will create an OCD Program with you that may proceed more gradually versus the model of increasing a sufferer's anxiety more quickly. OCD Treatment involves raising one's anxiety, but does not have to be intolerable nor take years to be effective.
