Evidence-Based Therapy for OCD, Anxiety, and Depression
You’re probably here because you’re over it.
The Ritualist
“I have to do it this exact way, or it won’t feel right.”
“I know it seems silly, but I can’t stop until it’s perfect.”
“What if having that thought means something terrible about me?”
The Overthinker
"Did I say something weird?"
“I need to plan for every possible outcome, just in case something goes wrong.”
“Should I send another text?”
The Avoider
"I'll deal with it tomorrow."
"Maybe it'll just go away."
"I'm not ready yet."
“I’ll do it when I feel less anxious.”
Sound familiar? Let’s change the pattern, not just talk about it.
Hi, I’m Maria, a licensed clinical psychologist who specializes in working with teens and young adults (ages 13–40) with OCD, anxiety, and depression. I use CBT, ERP, and ACT to help you do more than just talk about what’s bothering you, because talking about the problem isn’t enough. We’ll use evidence-based strategies to understand what’s keeping you stuck, practice responding differently, and build skills you can actually use outside of therapy.
The fact that you’re here means you’ve already taken a huge first step, I’d love to help you take the next one.
