Akiko Takeda
She/Her
Licensed Therapist, MS, LMFT
About
My approach to OCD therapy starts with getting to know my members, including their hardships and what they're looking to get out of treatment. I create a relaxing, welcoming atmosphere in sessions. I cherish "baby steps" — we'll approach exposures gradually, so you'll be able to manage your OCD better in the future. NOCD is one of the most supportive places you'll find. In addition to OCD, I also specialize in treating depression, general anxiety disorder, bipolar, schizophrenia, trauma, ADHD, and body-focused repetitive behaviors (BFRBs).
