Finding a provider can be challenging, overwhelming, and at times embarrassing. I have been in treatment for over 20 years, which prompted me to want to support other people like me. I am proficient in DBT as these skills have saved my life.

I am a woman in recovery, have been in psychiatric units, have a child with another woman, and attempted to end my life. I am healing everyday and you are part of that process.

I have worked with a variety of populations. I am passionate about working with other mental health professionals struggling with anxiety, depression, and trauma. I am honored to work with first responders (fire fighters, police, paramedics, doctors, etc). You are not alone. I understand the complex dynamics associated with seeking help.

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 Arlington

Searching for OCD therapists in Arlington starts with finding someone trained in obsessive-compulsive disorder care, not just general anxiety support. OCD can involve intrusive thoughts, compulsions, reassurance seeking, avoidance, and related concerns like anxiety or depression. Exposure and response prevention, often called ERP, is a common evidence-based approach for OCD, and not all therapists are trained in it. As you compare options, look for therapists who list OCD, ERP, cognitive behavioral therapy, or acceptance and commitment therapy in their bios.

Arlington is a smaller local market, so the number of nearby OCD therapists may be more limited than in larger Massachusetts cities. Virtual appointments can expand your options while still helping you find a therapist licensed in Massachusetts. As you narrow your search, compare appointment availability, whether the therapist is accepting new patients, and how clearly they describe their work with OCD. Reading bios can help you tell the difference between a therapist who lists OCD as an area of familiarity and one who has specific training or experience with ERP.

Therapy in Arlington 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 care begins. Headway helps you search for therapists who match your needs, verify your insurance, and see estimated out-of-pocket costs before you book. You can review profiles, compare virtual and in-person options, and book directly when you’re ready.
