Obsessive-Compulsive (OCD) Therapists in Echo Park, Los Angeles, CA

I strive to create a safe, non-judgmental therapy environment where my patients can openly share their fears, deepest thoughts and feelings. I believe strongly that revealing our authentic selves is integral to utilizing therapy to achieve growth and to overcome our most challenging obstacles.

Are you wrestling with anxiety, OCD, or the pressures of the Millennial experience? Feeling overwhelmed by the demands of late-stage capitalism? I'm here to support you. Specializing in anxiety disorders, I'm passionate about helping you reclaim control and build the life you envision.

I specialize in working with OCD, and I am a queer-identified and affirmative, sex-positive therapist experienced in working with a spectrum of sexual orientations, identities, and relationships. I help individuals and couples interested in discussing interests in kink and consensual non-monogamy.

Have you noticed that it's in the places you are supposed to be most relaxed (meditation, vacation, weekends, sleep) that your mind feels louder than ever? It might feel like the idea of letting your thoughts go is meant for “normal” people and that does not include you. Maybe you stand guard to keep yourself from your worst case, as if your attention to your thoughts keeps you from descending into unimaginable fear. All the advice you get from those closest to you feels so out of touch with the agony of daily doubts around the things that matter most. I can help you sift through the noise and regain your confidence in yourself.

It's my goal to meet you where you’re at and create an empathetic, safe, and nonjudgmental space for you to discover more about yourself and make sense of the world around you.

By engaging in meaningful discussions and self-examination, I will assist you in identifying recurring behaviors and thought patterns, gain a deeper awareness of yourself, and enhance your ability to handle difficult situations that arise in life.

Hello, my name is Jennifer Williamson, and I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist. I have been in the substance use and mental health field for 10 years. I have worked in residential treatment, outpatient and community mental health settings. I have always had a passion for getting to know other peoples' stories and enjoy traveling alongside them to reach their goals. I have worked with clients of all ages, but most enjoy working with older teens and adults.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who specializes in trauma and eating disorders. Together, we will work to build insight and self-compassion in order to help you heal from whatever brings you to therapy, let it be to work through trauma, address maladaptive coping skills, overcome perfectionism, or just feel better in your own skin. As a therapist, I am both direct and compassionate and pride myself on showing up authentically as a human. My priority is creating a trusting and safe therapeutic relationship that can serve as a container for you to get to know all parts of yourself - even (/especially) the messy parts.

Life can be stressful and complicated. Juggling daily expectations and responsibilities is challenging in itself. On top of that, we all have unique stories that largely unfolded beyond our control and to which we have adapted, sometimes constructively and other times in ways that conflict with our needs. Most of us aren’t formally taught to manage these stressors, which can result in various types of emotional pain, such as anxiety, depression and trauma. My goal in therapy is to help you develop the tools needed to understand and change the areas of your life that no longer work for you in a safe and nonjudgmental environment.

I believe that the therapeutic relationship and self-insight are key to change in treatment. My approach is warm but active, direct and honest. I especially appreciate the benefits of long-term, depth-oriented therapy, and I have years of experience using evidence-based treatments for anxiety, depression, eating disorders and relationship issues.

Making the decision to begin therapy can be difficult. Whether you’d like help making changes, dealing with life transitions, working through difficult relationships, addressing sexual issues, uncomfortable moods, ongoing trauma, or just trying to develop a sense of peace, balance and integration, psychotherapy can give you the opportunity to grow, guide you through difficult times, and ultimately move you towards a more satisfying and enriching life. A supportive environment where you have the freedom to be uncensored, true to yourself, and feel accepted and understood is the foundation of growth and change.

I come from a psychodynamic perspective and bring somatic tools, EMDR training and mindfulness practice to the healing space. I offer a warm, open heart and deeply curious, intuitive mind, utilizing the therapeutic relationship to foster safe healing.
