My approach to OCD therapy is rooted in empathy and a deep commitment to helping each individual navigate their unique challenges and improve their overall well-being. Millions of people suffer in silence, and it doesn't have to be this way. I have experience treating a range of mental health conditions, including depression, anxiety, substance use, bipolar disorders, and psychotic disorders such as schizophrenia. My practice is also dedicated to diverse and underserved populations, including Latino immigrants, chronically homeless individuals, and those reentering society after incarceration.

I like to start the ERP treatment/exercise sooner since I already know the basics of ERP. I have been treated at Rogers Behavioral Health using ERP.

My NOCD therapist, Samuel Muñoz, is so good. He is very knowledgeable and experienced, explains things very well, and is very personable.
J.M.
Best therapist ive had for my ocd he explains everything to me so i can understand whats going on inside my head
A.M.
The therapist was really chill and professional. I wish that I could have been asked questionnaires and submitted an ID pic before the session so time could have been better spent doing other things. This should be implemented for others in the future especially for those paying out of pocket $100+ for 60mins. Other than that things were good and I’m looking forward to more therapy in the future.
B.B.
My therapist knows exactly how to pace his approach. I appreciate his consistent demeanor and ability to direct the session in an effective and efficient manner. He is also properly adaptable.
J.H.
It's tough, but so far the most promising therapy that I've had. Kinda odd that a Zoom session can actually be more active and hands on than in-person therapy.
