If you’re struggling with obsessive thoughts, constant worry, or overwhelming anxiety, you don’t have to figure it out alone. Hi, I’m Josh Kaplan. For nearly 15 years, I’ve had the privilege of helping hundreds of people find lasting relief from anxiety and OCD. Treating anxiety and OCD isn’t just part of what I do; it’s all I do. I’m deeply passionate about this work because I know how powerful and life-changing the right treatment can be, and because you deserve nothing less. I use CBT and Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP), the gold-standard, research-supported treatments for anxiety and OCD.
Clients describe me as calm, warm, direct, and maybe a little funny at times. I value the therapeutic relationship and strive to create a safe space for each client through honesty, empathy, and compassion. Clients often tell me they feel understood quickly, and that therapy feels structured and purposeful rather than “just talking.”
I’ll teach you the mechanics of anxiety and OCD so you can understand exactly what’s happening and why your symptoms persist. Then we’ll work together to disrupt the anxiety cycle through exposure therapy, behavioral change, and new response patterns. Getting you unstuck, and helping you to feel safe within your own mind and body is my top priority.
