Before opening in Ohio, I had been doing exposure therapy for OCD & anxiety disorders for several years in California's Silicon Valley. I owned and operated the San Mateo CBT Clinic there, and wanted to return to my hometown of Cleveland to bring these life-changing services to my community. I have been amazed by how much change can happen in a relatively short period of time; it's been incredibly rewarding to witness what people do with their lives once anxiety is no longer a barrier. Almost every client we see has seen a therapist before finding us. Many of these individuals worked with a therapist who did not utilize exposure therapy. As such, they are typically surprised by how different our work may look when compared to their past therapy experiences. If you or your child has not tried exposure therapy for OCD or anxiety, our work will be quite different from prior therapy experiences. Exposure therapy focuses on gradually facing anxiety-provoking situations in a safe environment so that clients learn can increase their comfort level and reduce their fear. I look forward to working with you!
