I'm a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor and Certified Alcohol and Drug Counselor with a background that includes years of work with people navigating some of the hardest chapters of their lives — including incarcerated individuals, people struggling with addiction, and those carrying cultural weight that doesn't show up in a standard intake form. I'm South Asian, I grew up navigating two worlds, and that shapes how I show up for clients who've had to figure things out without a clear map. I don't do therapy with a clipboard. I'm direct, I'm real, and I'm genuinely interested in what's underneath the surface.

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 Chicago

Finding OCD therapists in Chicago starts with looking for care that matches the way obsessive-compulsive disorder shows up for you. OCD can involve intrusive thoughts, checking, contamination fears, reassurance seeking, compulsive rituals, or symptoms sometimes called Pure O. Exposure and response prevention, or ERP, is one therapy approach some clinicians use when supporting people with OCD, and not all therapists have training in it. As you compare profiles, look for therapists who list OCD, ERP therapy, or experience supporting people with obsessive thoughts in their specialties or bio.

Chicago has many therapists across neighborhoods like the Loop, Lakeview, Logan Square, Hyde Park, and the West Side, which can make it harder to narrow your options. A therapist who lists OCD as an area of familiarity may differ from one who has specific ERP training, so review profiles for details about approach, session structure, and experience with OCD treatments for adults. Consider practical fit, too: office location, transit access, appointment availability, virtual sessions, and whether a free phone consultation is offered can help you decide who fits your schedule and preferences.

Therapy in Chicago can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network coverage is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and make ongoing care easier to plan for. Headway helps you find therapists who focus on OCD and are accepting new patients. Nationally, Headway partners with a wide range of insurance plans, and you can enter your insurance details to check coverage in Chicago. You can enter your insurance details to see estimated costs before booking, then browse bios, compare availability, and book directly when you’re ready.
