OCD & Intrusive Thoughts Specialist, Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) and Inference-Based Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (I-CBT).
If you’re struggling with intrusive thoughts, mental compulsions, reassurance-seeking, or rituals that feel impossible to stop, I want you to know: OCD is highly treatable, and you don’t have to do this alone. I’m Theresa Schaffer, LCSW, a specialist in Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP), Inference-Based Cognitive Behavioral Therapy
(I-CBT) and anxiety disorders, with over 20 years of experience helping adults find relief from OCD.
I specialize in treating adults with intrusive thoughts, mental or physical compulsions, rumination and overanalyzing, checking or reassurance cycles, contamination fears, harm OCD, and health anxiety with OCD patterns. You’ll learn to respond differently to intrusive thoughts so they lose their power over your life.
If OCD has taken over your time, energy, or sense of self, I can help you reclaim your life with evidence-based treatment that works.
Telehealth sessions available throughout Georgia.
