Yes. I provide Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) for adults with OCD in Rockville Centre and via telehealth throughout New York. ERP is the gold-standard treatment for OCD and is a central focus of my practice.

While I specialize in OCD and related anxiety disorders, I also treat panic disorder, social anxiety, health anxiety, perfectionism, and depression. Many clients come in for OCD and address additional anxiety or mood symptoms as part of treatment.
Length of treatment depends on symptom severity and goals. ERP is often structured and time-limited compared to open-ended talk therapy. We discuss a clear treatment plan early in the process.
