Jessica Young
She/Her
Licensed Therapist, MA, LMFT
About
I’m passionate about treating OCD and related disorders, which often cause overwhelming anxiety and intrusive thoughts that can consume a person's daily existence. Guiding someone through the process of understanding and managing their symptoms, and ultimately gaining control over them, is incredibly rewarding. I primarily use Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP), which empowers people to break the cycle of OCD. I also strive to understand the broader context of a person's mental health and create comprehensive and personalized treatment plans, which might involve integrating other therapeutic techniques.

Been with Jessica for almost a year now and she is amazing. She is extremely nice, patient and understanding without giving that reassurance that OCD loves. Super intelligent and knowledgeable and I am blessed that I got paired with her

Todays session was definitely more difficult because the ERP was anxiety inducing. However, Jessica walks me through it. I’m very comfortable around her and she makes ERP less of a hassle. Jessica is always on time and she is very attentive to my feelings.

Great session today. Jessica showed me a great exposure to start with based on my theme. I like how we can laugh during our session and not only focus so seriously. Always looking forward to speaking to her, very fun therapist

Jessica played a really great video for me that helped me see my OCD in a different way. She allows me to talk about how I feel and she lets me be myself.

Jessica has some great techniques to aid in my ever puzzling discomfort. I've never been presented with this way of thinking. We'll see how it goes and it seems promising.
