OCD

Elyse Conterno (she/her)

Clinical Psychologist

PsyD (licensed in Oregon and Washington)

I am trained in Exposure Response Prevention (ERP), which is considered the gold standard for treating OCD. I integrate the theories of ACT to help clients make the tough and brave choice to challenge their fears and expand their world.

Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC), Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC)

I am trained in Exposure & Response Prevention (ERP) therapy, which has demonstrated success in reducing symptoms of Obsessive Compulsive Disorder. During and after sessions, you will participate in "exposures" designed to generate distress - yes, on purpose! - while simultaneously avoiding any "compulsions" or "rituals" that you might typically use to try to reduce discomfort. By doing so, you will learn that you CAN tolerate distressing experiences, and teach OCD that it's not the boss of you.

Intrusive thoughts and repetitive compulsions can be distressing and time-consuming. I specialize in Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP), the gold-standard treatment for OCD. I provide a structured, supportive approach to help you face fears, reduce compulsions, and break free from OCD’s grip to live with greater clarity and confidence.

Cory Anton

Licensed Professional Counselor

I am BTTI (Behavior Therapy Training Institute) certified to treat OCD. This includes a combination of using Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) therapy, which is the gold standard treatment for OCD. ERP helps you to build tolerance to the feelings of anxiety and panic that can occur.

Katie Playfair (she/her)

Licensed Professional Counselor

LPC (OR) LMHC (WA)

OCD includes Illness Anxiety Disorder/Health Anxiety/hypochondriasis, obsessions, compulsions, skin and hair picking, and some other types of more severe anxiety you might not know are in the OCD cluster. This is one area where I've done a lot of specialized training. I use neurodiversity-affirming Acceptance and Commitment Therapy + Exposure and Response Prevention for most clients with OCD and related disorders. e

Emily Kittelson

I am trained in providing Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) Therapy for Obsessive Compulsive Disorder. I have also worked with clients who have OCD using an Acceptance and Commitment Therapy approach. For some people a combination of these two techniques seems to be most helpful.

I have experience helping clients manage various forms of anxiety, from generalized anxiety and social anxiety to panic disorders.

Josh Clark (he/him)

Clinical Psychologist

PhD, ABPP-CN

You may feel trapped by nagging and intrusive thoughts that you feel have no “off-button.” Or, you may feel compelled to engage in certain behaviors to a point where they impede on your quality of life. Have hope. Obsessive thinking and behaviors are very treatable. I help my clients understand their symptoms and unlock the door to an easier, more comfortable way of existing.

Ashlee Lauer (She/Her)

Licensed Professional Counselor

CMHC

I have worked with clients with OCD since 2015 and have multiple years of experience working in Intensive Outpatient and Outpatient capacities. I have received training through the International OCD Foundation (IOCDF) and use a combination of Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) and skills based therapies to help clients take back control of their lives.

Lynne Coon

Licensed Professional Counselor

LPC

I sought additional training in Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) therapy for Obsessive Compulsive Disorder. While Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is the standard for treating OCD, traditional talk therapy doesn't work. Someone with OCD can understand their thoughts logically don't make sense but that doesn't stop the obsessions. ERP along CBT works!

Myles Rizvi (He/him)

I completed a postdoctoral fellowship at the Texas Children's Hospital's Obsessive-Compulsive and Anxiety Disorders Program, and I have four years of experience treating OCD as a licensed clinical psychologist.

I have given several presentations on OCD-related topics at the IOCDF, and I published an article on pediatric OCD.

I have extensive experience treating individuals with OCD in individual, group, and intensive outpatient treatment programs.

Methods of treatment used are evidence-based, supported by research, and by the American Psychological Association (APA). Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, and Exposure and Response Prevention are the most scientifically supported methods of treating OCD, so are the main methods I use in working with clients.
