Private Practice Group

“You think you found the one, and then a thought shows up that makes you question everything. Is this really love? Are they actually right for you? The doubt keeps circling back, quiet but relentless, refusing to let you feel settled, no matter how good things actually are. These are intrusive thoughts, unwanted, disturbing, completely out of step with who you actually are, and they latch onto exactly what matters most. You check, you ask, you replay, hoping the doubt will finally quiet down. It doesn't. Maybe you found someone skilled at ERP, but they couldn't help you navigate what was actually happening in your relationship. Maybe you found a couples therapist, but they didn't understand OCD well enough to tell you which of your thoughts were the disorder and which were real. ”

About us

I'm Saraa, a licensed therapist and Clinical Supervisor specializing in Love, Marriage & OCD, treating OCD alongside dating, relationships, and the perinatal period, not as separate problems, but as one connected picture. I built this practice because I lived the gap it was designed to close. As a therapist with OCD myself, I fell through the cracks of a system that could treat my OCD or support me through dating, my marriage, and postpartum, but never both at once. I was told the specialized help I needed for pregnancy-related OCD simply didn't exist. I ended up piecing together my own care, therapist by therapist, because no single provider understood the whole picture. I don't want anyone else to have to do that.

Approach

I combine Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP), the gold-standard treatment for OCD, with Gottman Method Couples Therapy tools and best practices in perinatal care, treating the OCD and the relationship, the dating life, or the transition into parenthood together, in one place. I offer individual and couples therapy for OCD, specialized care for postpartum and perinatal OCD, dating therapy for people with OCD, and a low-cost group ERP treatment option for clients without insurance. Free 15-minute consultation available.
