About My Clients
I work exclusively by telephone or videoconference and have done since the early 2000's so I am highly experienced in this form of counseling. I also have done dozens of one to two week Housecalls around the United States for patients requiring more intensive treatment.
My Background and Approach
I have been practicing as a licensed Clinical Psychologist since the early 1980’s and am a member of the National Register of Healthcare Providers and the a Life Member of the American Psychological Association. Since 1996 I have exclusively worked with Obsessive Compulsive Spectrum Disorders of all types including OCD, Hypochondriasis, Tourette’s Disorder, Hoarding, Trichotillomania, Asperger’s Syndrome, Body Dysmorphic Disorder, and Obsessive Compulsive Personality Disorder. I am on the Scientific Advisory Board for the Obsessive Compulsive Foundation. I have treated hundreds of people with OCD, published more than a dozen books on OCD recovery (including two meditation books) and trained over a thousand professionals in over 100 cities across North America. Perhaps more importantly I am in recovery from very serious OCD myself. I know first-hand what a horrific struggle OCD can be. I also know first-hand that it is possible to recover our lives, our serenity and joy in living.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
I have been working on Climate Change for the past decade as this situation is at the root of so many human problems. I try to (and usually do a pretty good job of) keeping my own beliefs and views out of the counseling process. In session we are here for you not me, though I am always happy to share my own experiences if it's helpful to your process of recovery.
