Jenny Starosta
Licensed Therapist, PhD, LP
About
I take a practical approach to treating OCD. I utilize Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP), because it has been demonstrated to be the most effective method. ERP does take work, and it is uncomfortable, but it's like being sore after a hard workout — we have to train or practice to get better at any task. There is a truly positive outcome to OCD therapy. In addition to treating OCD, I specialize in maternal mental health and helping people understand and cope with neurodivergence.

Dr. Starosta has been a great therapist, her guidance has really been beneficial! We've talked about my past trauma with dysfunctional Family to present trauma. Exposure preventions have a big help and I think together we're only going to make greater progress!

I feel very positive and hopeful about the journey ahead! Jenny is patient, understanding, and gives me time to gather my thoughts when I have trouble expressing myself. I truly get the feeling she cares about me and my well-being. She does not seem judgemental and we seem to interact very well together!
