OCD therapy may feel daunting, but you are more capable than you realize. You can do hard things. Therapy is a journey we're on together. This is a place to work toward feeling safe. I'm not here to judge; I'm here to understand. I'll help you define your goals and work toward them in every session. When we let ourselves approach things that feel uncertain, the benefits can be greater than we can think. I also specialize in treating anxiety, depression, trauma, and family systems issues.

Good experience

Helene coached me to attain my goal of flying again after 30 years, successfully without any medications!! I flew from Boston to California to attend my son‘s graduation. It was a joy of a lifetime to be a part of the celebration. I feel empowered to fly again and enjoy my life more fully. Thank you Helene!! I’ve never worked with an online therapist before. Back office was staffed with real people who are knowledgeable and kind. Everything was seamless from booking the appointment to insurance. No glitches in the system. My suggestion to other perspective, clients, watch the videos and see who you really connect with.

Helene has been awesome to work with and we really hit the ground running immediately. She has an in tune sense of common threads/issues and it really feels like she fully understands things about me that I may not have even been able to recognize. Most importantly I have felt a sense of hope/excitement as a result of our first few weeks of sessions and it’s all thanks to her calm demeanor and ability to convey actionable steps/goals in an achievable way

Good experience

I feel like the part of my brain that was taken up with OCD thoughts and actions has been almost totally freed up so I can use it for being more creative and just living my life. So much angst and worry are gone, and I have the tools to deal with it when things come up. My therapist, Helene, was so understanding and also demanding, when that was needed. ERP is not comfortable, but I knew I could do it because I felt so understood and supported by Helene. I've been thinking about her lately because I'm visiting my family, and I have been doing some emotionally challenging things that would have been extremely difficult if it weren't for her help. My aunt passed away in July, and I needed to go through some things (artwork, personal tchotchkes, etc.) to decide what I wanted to take home with me. I was moderately uncomfortable while I was going through the items - mostly because my family members were sitting there with me, and I didn't want to explain about OCD and that it might be hard for me to make decision after decision. I also didn't feel comfortable doing as much verbal processing as I need. (I think I ended up doing a "normal" amount of having trouble deciding and of thinking out loud.) It definitely wasn't unbearable, and when I got finished, I was really surprised at how calm I felt. I'm proud of myself and so thankful for Helene's help!
