You wake up knowing what you want to do but anxiety, or OCD keeps pulling you back. I'm Dr. Alyssa Faro, a psychologist with 13 years of experience specializing in OCD, anxiety, and depression across the lifespan, from preteens to older adults. I've served as Clinical Director of the OCD Institute for Children & Adolescents (OCDI Jr.) at McLean Hospital and hold a faculty appointment at Harvard Medical School. I use approaches that are proven to work: ERP (Exposure and Response Prevention), CBT, ACT, and SPACE (Supportive Parenting for Anxious Childhood Emotions). I'll help you get your life back, without anxiety calling the shots.
I work with clients of all ages: preteens, teens, adults, and older adults (65+). I support those struggling with OCD, anxiety, depression, and parenting challenges related to anxiety. My integrated approach helps you not only reduce distress, but also create a life aligned with your values.
Sessions can be in-person or virtual, which means we can focus our work right where anxiety shows up, whether that be at home, at school, or at work. You don't have to keep avoiding or white-knuckling your way through every day.
