Beth Giurelli
Psychologist, PsyD
Glastonbury, CT 06033
I see clients with problems such as generalized anxiety, OCD, panic, PTSD and social anxiety.
People often think about therapy for some time before taking the first step to get help because they don't know what to expect. You can expect to be treated with respect and kindness. I work in a collaborative manner, and customize therapy to your individual issues and perspectives.

Dr. Emily O’Bryan
Psychologist, PhD
2 Endorsed
Glastonbury, CT 06033
As a licensed psychologist with 8 years of doctoral-level education and training, 10 years of practice delivering cognitive-behavioral therapies, and over 25 peer-reviewed scientific articles, I offer compassionate, personalized, research-supported therapy to help you overcome anxiety, OCD, and PTSD- all so you can drop the struggle and live well.
Anxiety is that one problem you can't seem to solve. Well-meaning efforts to push it away have probably backfired, and now you may even be fearful of anxiety itself. Maybe you are overwhelmed by intrusive thoughts that sell you the convincing story that you're a "bad person," trapping you in an exhausting cycle of trying to prove them wrong. Or perhaps self-blame tied to a traumatic experience has left you carrying heavy guilt and shame, while staying constantly alert for danger as you move through the world. Doubt and uncertainty may feel paralyzing, affecting your ability to live the life you want.

Professional Counselor Associate, LPC
Glastonbury, CT 06033
You’re exhausted from carrying the mental load of everything. You know you should be kinder to yourself, but somehow, you always feel behind. Let’s work on that together. I take a laid-back but direct approach to therapy. If you’re looking for someone who will just nod and ask, ‘How does that make you feel?’ I’m probably not the right therapist for you. But if you want someone who will listen and challenge you to make real changes, we might be a great fit.

Obsessive-Compulsive (OCD) Therapists
How long does OCD treatment take?
Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) is often treated on a weekly or twice-weekly schedule, depending on symptom severity and the client’s preferences. Some clients may start to see a noticeable improvement in symptoms in as little as six weeks, but it’s also possible, especially in more severe cases, for treatment to take several months to a year before significant progress is made.

What happens if OCD is not treated?
Some people with OCD, especially those with mild symptoms, may find that they are able to adapt reasonably well to life with the condition, even if their symptoms never resolve completely. However, many people, particularly those whose symptoms are severe at the outset, find that their obsessions and compulsions grow more intrusive with time, making it harder to maintain relationships, hold down a job, or navigate the world successfully.

Are there medications for OCD?
Medication can be used to treat OCD. The class of drugs most often prescribed are selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors, or SSRIs, which include fluvoxamine (under the brand name Luvox), fluoxetine (Prozac), and sertraline (Zoloft), among others. In cases of treatment-resistant OCD, other classes of medication, such as tricyclic antidepressants or atypical antipsychotics, may be prescribed. Medication is frequently used in conjunction with therapy.

Can OCD come back after treatment?
Yes. Major life transitions, periods of stress, or other factors can cause symptoms to return or, if they were never fully eradicated, to ramp back up in intensity. For some, these relapses are brief and do not require additional treatment; identifying specific triggers and practicing the skills learned in therapy can help speed their course. For others, returning to therapy for a brief period can help address the underlying stress and strengthen coping mechanisms.
