A different kind of exposure therapy for OCD
We take a flexible, values-based approach to help you feel more equipped to move through discomfort in service of doing things that are important to you — all at your own pace.
It's trauma-informed and queer-affirming. We practice somatic awareness, mindfulness, and acceptance; and prioritize your consent at every step. We adjust exposures for the realities of living in a queer and/or trans body.
It's client-centered. We don’t just do exposures for the sake of doing them. Your values and goals are what guide the work.
It's flexible. We adapt exposures for the complexities of your identity, your capacity, and neurodivergence.
It's about building a rich, meaningful life. We're helping you build a life where OCD has less power over what you do and who you become.
This is for you if…
You've tried talk therapy and it just keeps you in the OCD cycle, and/or you’ve tried traditional ERP and felt pushed too hard
You're exhausted from rumination, rituals, reassurance-seeking, and avoidance that keep you from living the life you desire
You feel controlled by your OCD and are ready to take back some of your agency
You want a therapist who gets that OCD isn't one-size-fits-all — especially if you're queer, neurodivergent, have a highly creative mind, or someone whose intrusive thoughts are tied up with identity
How we work
We blend two modalities, Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) with Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to make OCD treatment more effective and sustainable.
Instead of centering the work on fear, ACT-based ERP centers around your willingness to engage in values-based actions even if it triggers your OCD. You’re not just doing exposures to follow a treatment protocol - you’re doing them to actually start engaging with the meaningful experiences you’ve been missing out on.
What we offer
We provide individual and group therapy for OCD, rumination, and anxiety, in person in Brooklyn, Manhattan, and online across New York state. Our therapists are trained in both ERP and ACT, and bring a queer-affirming, trauma-informed lens to all of our work.
Individual therapy — weekly sessions, in person or online
Group therapy — drop-in and ongoing groups for processing, skill-building, and connection
IFS + ERP intensives — for OCD presentations with complex trauma underneath
Queer-affirming care — we understand that OCD and identity are often deeply intertwined
If you're ready to stop feeling controlled by your OCD and start building a rich, full, meaningful life, we'd love to talk.
