Obsessive-compulsive disorder therapists & psychiatrists in Jersey City, NJ

Start by identifying your goals for care and the type of support you're looking for — whether that's help with OCD, anxiety, depression, or something else. Look for a licensed provider who has experience with your specific concerns. On Headway, you can browse providers by specialty, read detailed bios about their approach and style, and book a session directly. Many providers also offer a free phone consultation so you can see if they're a good match before committing.

Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) is one therapeutic approach some providers use when supporting people with OCD, and a qualified licensed provider can help determine whether it may be a fit for your needs. ERP is a specialized form of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and a qualified licensed provider can explain how this and other approaches may be used in care. Some providers also use Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) or Inference-Based CBT (I-CBT). When searching for a provider, look for someone with specific training in one or more of these approaches.

A licensed therapist with specialized training in OCD may be a helpful starting point, and a qualified provider can help you understand which therapeutic approaches may be appropriate for your situation. This includes psychologists, licensed clinical social workers (LCSWs), and licensed professional counselors (LPCs) who focus on OCD. If medication management is part of your care plan, a psychiatrist can help with that. On Headway, you can browse both therapists and psychiatrists and read their bios to understand their training and specialties.
