You're smart, self-aware, and honestly pretty good at explaining exactly why you're stuck. You just can't seem to get unstuck. The to-do list exists. The plan sort of exists. And yet — the avoidance, the overthinking, the decision that keeps not getting made. Sound familiar? Anxiety, perfectionism, and big life transitions have a way of quietly running the show. Therapy isn't about fixing what's wrong with you — because nothing is. It's about understanding what's underneath, building some actual tools, and figuring out what you want. Not what everyone else thinks you should.

If you have tried therapy before without the results you hoped for, you may need a more targeted, effective approach. Over the past 15 years of my practice as a clinical psychologist, earning your trust and helping you establish a secure, empowering baseline for your care has been a profound privilege. As a former instructor at the David Geffen School of Medicine at UCLA and a provider at the UCLA Insomnia clinic, my goal is to provide more than just a space to talk—I offer the specialized, gold-standard steps necessary to create measurable, lasting change. At my practice, YCBT Services, I focus on working with adolescents, adults, and seniors who feel stuck despite their best efforts, specifically targeting generalized anxiety, social anxiety, OCD, panic disorders, and chronic insomnia. By addressing the underlying triggers that keep you on high alert, I am fiercely committed to helping you move beyond surface-level coping to reclaim your peace of mind.

Happy patient looking away

Find an expert who truly understands OCD

Headway helps you manage obsessive-compulsive disorder with expert-guided support — from finding the right therapist or psychiatrist, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.

Factors to Consider When Choosing an OCD Therapist in San Francisco

Finding OCD therapists in San Francisco starts with looking for the right training, not just the right location. OCD care often focuses on intrusive thoughts, compulsions, checking behaviors, rituals, and related anxiety. Exposure and response prevention, often called ERP, is one approach some therapists use when supporting people with OCD, and not all therapists have specific training in it. As you compare options, look for therapists who list OCD, ERP, cognitive behavioral therapy, or related experience in their bios.

San Francisco has many therapists across neighborhoods like the Mission, SoMa, Pacific Heights, and the Richmond, which can make it harder to narrow your search. Consider whether you prefer an in-person appointment near work, home, or transit, or a virtual session that fits more easily into your schedule. For OCD therapy, it can also help to compare therapists who mention ERP training directly rather than those who list OCD as one of many areas of focus. Reading profiles can show how a therapist describes their approach, session structure, and experience with OCD care before you book.

Therapy in San Francisco can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs. Headway helps you find therapists who are accepting new patients and offer upfront cost estimates after you enter your insurance details to confirm available coverage. You can browse OCD therapists in San Francisco, review bios, and book directly when you’re ready.
