Sick of what OCD is doing to you? Reclaim your life! 

I combine the use of Exposure & Response Prevention (ERP), 

and Acceptance & Commitment Therapy (ACT) 

You have every right to be hopeful that living well with OCD is possible.

Treatment Focus

My focus is to help you heal, energize, and become aware of your inner strength. We achieve this by confronting your fears, finding your funny bone and resisting compulsions with determination.

CHOOSE TO "BOSS IT BACK"®

Live Well With OCD

If you're like most people with OCD you know you have a choice to make. You've discovered that your current way of coping is time-consuming and exhausting. Having to perform rituals and conduct mental acts is like being in prison. And those around you are probably hurting too. You want to stop feeding OCD. You know the answer is to face a fear rather than avoid it or try to control it. 

Life rewards action. Boss it Back-Now!

Resist Compulsios

This Is Not Talk Therapy

To live well with OCD means allowing obsessional thoughts and resisting compulsions. We don't need to excavate memories from your childhood to explain your obsessions. OCD attacks whatever is precious and sacred to you. Plain and simple.

OCD Is a Family Affair

If you have a loved one with OCD then you probably have a lot of questions about how to help. Warning: Reassurance does not help! 

There is a very specific way to talk to OCD. 

Don't get caught in a loop! Make sure you learn the best way to talk back to OCD. Consider attending a skill building class.

FAQs

What follows will seem very firm. It's in your best interest that you receive the most straightforward information possible. Your time is deeply respected and your sense of urgency is understandable.

  • Waiting List:  A waiting list is not maintained. Availability is very limited. (This is up-to-date information.) If you already have a therapist and feel like you're not progressing, ask your therapist if Tammy could join one of your sessions for consultation.
  • Insurance: No insurance is accepted. All services are private pay only. A PayPal button is accessible below.
  • Surprises: Exposure & Response Prevention is about facing fears because you WANT to, not because you're forced to. Your consent is important. White knuckling your way through ERP is not the answer. Exposure will surprise you, in that it is easier or harder than predicted. If you engage in exposures it should be no surprise when your anxiety increases and causes feelings of uncertainty. It is helpful to lean in with willingness. The whole point is to confront fear so that your brain learns you can do it!
  • Telehealth Therapy: In rare circumstances home visits can be arranged. HIPAA compliant video-conferencing is currently the main source of contact. Field trips to hunt down triggers may be arranged. Video service is available if you are a current resident of NYS, not in crisis, not a danger to self or others, and not involved in any legal matters.
  • Recording Sessions: Only if mutually agreed upon can a session be recorded. 
  • Discharge Policy: Current clients are eligible for immediate discharge if: 

1) Three appointments are canceled in a short period of time; 

2) More than two appointments are no call/no show; 

3) Payment is not provided as discussed; 

4) Client chose to have no appointments for 90 days; 

5) Agreed upon assignments are rarely completed as agreed; 

6) ERP is not even an option due to complicating circumstances; 

7) Therapy sessions are often used for non-OCD issues; 

8) The true reason for seeking therapy is to receive repeated reassurance.

  • Medications: Tammy does not prescribe medications. She is not a doctor, she is a social worker. There are several drug options but it can take many trials before the right drug and dosage is found. The best prescription (the holy grail) is called RESIST. Meaning resist compulsions. It's not a drug, it's a mindset.
