About

In my practice as a therapist specializing in OCD, I have utilized Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) as an effective treatment approach. ERP is a well-established and evidence-based therapeutic technique supported by research for its effectiveness in treating OCD. Utilizing this evidence-based therapy empowers my clients to confront their fears and break free from the cycle of obsessions and compulsions, fostering significant and lasting improvements in their mental health and well-being. When I'm not doing therapy, I enjoy watching TV and doing arts and crafts.

Get to know Suchika Siotia

I became a therapist because of my deep desire to help others improve their mental and emotional well-being. Witnessing the transformative effects of therapy and the positive impact it can have on people's lives fascinated me. I possess a genuine empathy for others and an innate ability to actively listen and understand complex emotions. Guiding clients through their challenges, traumas, and personal growth journeys brings me immense fulfillment. Seeing my clients empowered and leading healthier, more fulfilling lives motivates me every day, making being a therapist an incredibly rewarding and meaningful career.

I chose to specialize in OCD because I have personally witnessed the profound impact it has on individuals and their families. OCD is a highly debilitating condition, causing immense distress and interfering with daily life. I understand the emotional toll it takes on those suffering from intrusive thoughts and compulsions, as well as the challenges faced by their families. Witnessing a family member's struggle with OCD has reinforced my commitment to helping others facing similar battles. Through my specialization, I aim to provide effective support and evidence-based therapies, enabling individuals with OCD to regain control over their lives and fostering healthier, more harmonious family dynamics.

In addition to working with OCD, I specialize in sex therapy, where my focus lies in assisting individual partners in navigating and addressing sexual health problems. Sexual health is an essential aspect of overall well-being and can significantly impact relationships. I provide a safe and non-judgmental space for clients to discuss their concerns and explore any challenges they may be facing related to intimacy and sexuality. Through open communication, empathy, and evidence-based therapeutic techniques, I aim to empower individuals to enhance their sexual health, strengthen their connections with their partners, and foster more fulfilling and satisfying relationships. My passion for helping people achieve healthy sexual experiences drives my commitment to this specialized field.

You should be aware that OCD is a challenging and debilitating disorder that can significantly impact daily life and well-being. However, the good news is that effective treatment options exist. By using evidence-based assessments, therapists can accurately diagnose OCD and tailor treatment plans to meet individual needs. Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) is a proven and effective treatment for OCD. Through ERP therapy, you gradually confront your fears and learn healthier ways to respond to your obsessions, leading to reduced anxiety and improved functioning. With dedication and support, individuals can find relief from OCD's grip and regain control over their lives, paving the way for a brighter and more fulfilling future. As a therapist specializing in OCD treatment, I am committed to working collaboratively with members throughout their journey to recovery. I provide unwavering support at each step of the treatment process. Understanding the challenges that come with OCD, I offer a compassionate and non-judgmental environment where members feel comfortable discussing their experiences. Therapy is a partnership, and I actively involve members in setting treatment goals and tailoring interventions to suit their unique needs. I encourage open communication and feedback, ensuring that members are empowered to express their thoughts and concerns throughout the therapeutic process.

You can take the time you need to build trust with me as your therapist. I understand that opening up about personal thoughts and experiences can be challenging, especially when dealing with sensitive topics. I create a safe and non-judgmental space where members feel comfortable and supported. Confidentiality is paramount in the therapeutic relationship. What you share with me during sessions remains strictly confidential within the limits of the law and ethical guidelines. This confidentiality fosters an environment of trust. I respect each member's pace and readiness to share, and I am committed to being patient and understanding throughout the process. As trust deepens, members often find it easier to explore deeper issues and work collaboratively towards their therapeutic goals, ultimately leading to positive and transformative outcomes.

Suchi is great! I felt at ease with her right away. She answered my questions, listened without judgement, and helped me to feel less nervous about ERP therapy. It’s a relief to have a diagnosis and to talk to someone who understands and recognizes my symptoms.
