Therapy is self-care. I want my client's therapeutic experience to be the best one possible as I know they are using the small amount of time they have to work on themselves. I am the therapist I would want for myself. I am collaborative, knowledgeable, I help simplify the complicated, put words to experiences, feelings, and thoughts, and guide clients in what to do with their findings. I am the therapist you do "the work" with.

You've probably been holding it together for so long that you've forgotten what it feels like not to. I work with adults and teenagers who are navigating anxiety, depression, stress, and the complicated terrain of relationships and identity. A lot of my clients are women working through life transitions, maternal mental health challenges, and the weight of managing everything at once. Whether you're a teenager still figuring out who you are or an adult who feels like you've been running on empty, this kind of exhaustion is something we can actually work through together.

Happy patient looking away

Find an expert who truly understands OCD

Headway helps you manage obsessive-compulsive disorder with expert-guided support — from finding the right therapist or psychiatrist, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.

Factors to Consider When Choosing an OCD Therapist in Fort Lauderdale

Searching for OCD therapists in Fort Lauderdale starts with finding someone trained in exposure and response prevention therapy, often called ERP. ERP is a common therapy approach for obsessive-compulsive disorder, and not all therapists are trained in it. If you’re looking for support with intrusive thoughts, checking behaviors, contamination fears, or rituals, read therapist bios for direct mentions of OCD experience, ERP training, and related approaches that fit your needs.

Fort Lauderdale has a range of mental health care options across Broward County and the broader South Florida area. Your best fit may depend on practical details, including appointment times, office location, virtual availability, and whether the therapist is accepting new clients. For OCD care, it helps to look beyond a therapist who lists OCD as a specialty and check whether their profile describes specific ERP training or structured work with obsessions and compulsions. A free phone consultation can also help you learn how a therapist approaches care before booking a first session.

Therapy in Fort Lauderdale can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and understand what you may pay before you begin. Headway helps you search for a therapist in Fort Lauderdale, FL who matches your preferences, offers in-person or virtual care, and accepts a wide range of insurance plans, so you can review bios, compare availability, and book directly when you’re ready.
