After graduating from New York University with a BFA in drama, I moved to Los Angeles and taught drama and English literature at an L.A. public high school for nearly 20 years. My experience working with teenagers and their families taught me that, all too often, kids' barriers to learning are not academic in nature, but rather emotional challenges stemming from adversity and trauma. I became more and more interested in learning how to help teenagers and adults alike navigate these obstacles and come out stronger in the long run. So, I went back to graduate school to pursue a new career as a therapist so that I could help in a different way. My training and experience has focused on treating anxiety disorders (including OCD), PTSD and Complex-PTSD, and also couples - helping them to navigate challenges and triggers so that they can reset and reconnect.

In general, I am curious about the the human mind and I am dedicated to help others who are struggling.

Hello! I am Dr. Efrain Zepeda. I am a bilingual (English/Spanish) Licensed Clinical Psychologist and Clinical Social Worker. In the past 26 years of working as a mental health professional, one important lesson I have learned is that the most powerful therapeutic intervention is found in the interpersonal experience that occurs in the client-therapist relationship. Together we can analyze the past to co-create a new meaning to achieve healing. I strongly believe that therapy is not about labeling or judging, but rather about personal discovery.

Factors to Consider When Choosing an OCD Therapist in Long Beach
Finding OCD therapists in Long Beach starts with looking for the right training, not just the right location. Obsessive-compulsive disorder can involve intrusive thoughts, compulsive behaviors, reassurance seeking, avoidance, and anxiety. Exposure and response prevention, often called ERP, is one therapy approach some clinicians use when supporting people with OCD, and not all therapists are trained in it. As you compare therapists, look for bios that specifically mention OCD, ERP, cognitive behavioral therapy, or experience helping people living with obsessive-compulsive disorder.
Long Beach has a broad mental health care community, including private practices and Long Beach mental health clinics, so it helps to narrow your search by both specialty and logistics. In-person care may work well if you want an office near home, work, school, or transit, while virtual appointments can expand your options across California. For OCD care, look closely at whether a therapist lists OCD as an area of focus or names ERP training directly. You can also compare appointment availability, therapy approach, and free phone consultations to decide who may fit your needs.
Therapy in Long Beach can be a significant expense without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and make care easier to plan for. Headway helps you search for OCD therapists who are accepting new patients, review detailed bios, check whether your plan may be accepted, and see estimated out-of-pocket costs before booking. This makes it easier to find mental health care in Long Beach, CA that matches your needs, schedule, and insurance.
