I am also experienced at using elements of ERP or ExRP for various subtypes of OCD.
I believe in the power of spaces where humans can safely be their full, authentic selves. In an extremely isolating world, therapy can help you build a foundation of intimacy with the self that unlocks your ability to be more present in your relationships, more connected with your values, and better able to offer compassion to your wounded parts. I primarily see young adults and LGBTQIA+ people who feel ‘stuck’ in typical talk therapy and need help challenging patterns of avoidance.
