Hi, I am Cheyenne, an LCSW who believes therapy doesn't have to feel stiff or clinical to be effective. With several years of experience supporting youth, parents and families, I help clients navigate trauma, maternal mental health challenges, ADHD, anxiety and the often overwhelming stress of everyday life. If you're in the thick of parenting, navigating your teen years or simply feeling stretched too thin, you don't have to figure it out alone.
My name is Karen and I have been working in mental health for 25 years. It is rewarding to witness my clients take charge of their lives and connect them to what they find most meaningful.

I have experience working with children, youth, adults, families, couples but in the last few years, I have shifted my main focus to work with adults who are struggling with anxiety, trauma and depression. I’ve worked in the mental health field for 22 years and been practicing as a therapist for about 10 years.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a OCD Therapist in Pasadena, CA
Finding OCD therapists in Pasadena starts with looking for training that matches obsessive-compulsive disorder care. OCD can include intrusive thoughts, contamination concerns, checking behaviors, compulsions, and related anxiety. Exposure and response prevention, often called ERP, is one therapy approach some clinicians use to support people with OCD, and not all therapists are trained in it. As you compare therapists, look for profiles that mention ERP, cognitive behavioral therapy, acceptance and commitment therapy, or direct experience supporting people living with OCD.
Pasadena has a focused local mental health care market, so virtual appointments can expand your options beyond nearby offices. Some people prefer meeting in person, while others choose virtual sessions for scheduling flexibility or easier access to a therapist with specific OCD training. A therapist who lists OCD as an area of familiarity may offer support, while a therapist with specific ERP training may be a closer fit for OCD-focused care. Read therapist bios before booking to understand their approach, session style, availability, and whether they offer a free phone consultation.
Therapy in Pasadena can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and see what you may pay before your first appointment. Headway helps you find OCD therapists who accept a wide range of insurance plans and offer clear profile details. You can compare therapists, review bios, see estimated costs after entering your insurance, and book directly when you’re ready.
