Yvonne Arias
She/Her
Licensed Therapist, MA, LMFT
About
My approach to OCD therapy is kind but firm. My sessions are a safe, non-judgmental space where you'll learn to confront your fears and have the support to trust in your ability to withstand distress. It's important to understand that your thoughts aren't facts — they don't have to be in charge of your life. Sharing your thoughts can take away their power. ERP (Exposure and Response Prevention) is extremely effective, especially when practiced consistently and repeatedly. I also specialize in anxiety, depression, ADD, crisis counseling, and adjustment disorders.

Yvonne has truly helped me escape from the chains of my mind and break free from the narratives my OCD has been trying to convince me for years now. I am nothing but grateful to Yvonne and I couldn’t recommend her more for anybody just starting off their OCD journey. She makes you feel seen and has never ever made me feel judged whatsoever, and she does a remarkably good job at making me feel connected!

My progress is going a bit slow, but that’s ok I know it will get better. I am waiting for a good fit for medication for my sleep and anxiety. That’s what is holding me back. My therapist is great and I am super grateful for her and her support

I have been taking therapy for my OCD with Yvonne Arias, and she has helped me to take the reins of my life and claim my power back! With her I have learned that I don't have to be a slave to my compulsions, which may make me feel better at the moment but in the long run only hinder my healing from this disorder. I still feel I have a long journey ahead of me to full recovery, but from the time I started therapy to now I realize I have gained a wealth of knowledge in how to manage my OCD.
