Questions I get all the time as an ERP therapist 🩵
Read this before you DM me.
These are the questions I get every single day, so here they all are in one place.
What I treat: OCD (yes, all themes), hair pulling and skin picking, agoraphobia, panic, and generalized anxiety. How I treat it: ERP, CBT, and habit reversal. The actual evidence based stuff, not just talk.
And yes, I'm one woman doing all of it. That's on purpose. It's how I keep a small caseload and stay fully present with the clients I do take.
Not ready for 1:1? The workbooks and The Exposure Room are lower cost ways in. You can find info for these options using the link in my bio.
Adults 18 and up. Want to see if we're a fit? Free 15 min consult, link in bio.

Read moreAs someone who has personally experienced the challenges of OCD and anxiety, I truly appreciate the value of having a therapist who provides focused, evidence-based treatment like ERP (Exposure and Response Prevention). What stands out most is the therapist’s commitment to maintaining a small caseload to offer truly personalized attention, which makes a huge difference in treatment outcomes.
ERP isn’t just talk therapy—it's a structured, active approach that involves gradually facing fears and resisting compulsions under professional guidance. This can feel daunting at first, but understanding the process and having consistent support helps reduce anxiety effectively over time. Habit reversal training is also incredibly helpful for anyone struggling with behaviors like hair pulling or skin picking, providing practical tools to replace those urges with healthier responses.
Cost and accessibility often concern people seeking therapy, and the availability of lower-cost options like carefully designed workbooks and group programs such as The Exposure Room make starting treatment less intimidating. These alternatives offer a stepping stone to get involved in active recovery without immediately committing to one-on-one sessions.
One of the best parts is the initial free 15-minute consultation that helps you figure out if this therapy and therapist are the right fit for you without pressure. It’s empowering to be able to ask questions upfront and understand the tailored path that will be built around your unique needs.
For adults 18 and over who want to regain control and improve their mental health with proven protocols, committing to regular, active work in therapy—even if it feels challenging—is key. Real change happens faster than many expect when you stay consistent and have expert guidance focused entirely on your progress rather than insurance limitations.
If you’re considering ERP for OCD or other anxiety-related issues, know that dedicated one-on-one care, supported by tools and group programs, can provide a clear path to reclaiming your life from anxiety and compulsions. This approach prioritizes your healing journey with empathy and expertise, making each session count toward your meaningful recovery.
