Get to know Hermeisha
Why I became a therapist
I started wanting to be a therapist back in middle school. I think I always knew that trials and suffering are part of life, and I wanted to help people get to the other side of those experiences. In my work as a trauma-focused clinician, I also saw how closely trauma and OCD can overlap, which led me to specialize in helping people navigate OCD.
How I create a safe, supportive environment in therapy
Creating a safe space starts with earning your trust. I want you to feel like you can be your real, authentic self because vulnerability is such an important part of this process. I listen without judgment, and no struggle or situation is too embarrassing, too shameful, or too hard to name. I'll be with you throughout the process as your coach and partner.
My message to you if you're considering therapy
If you're hesitant about starting exposure and response prevention (ERP) therapy, I want to remind you that you've done hard things before. This is just a new hard thing—and you won't be doing it alone. I'll be there to support you as you gradually confront your fears. Along the way, you'll discover something amazing inside yourself that can take you to the next level in your healing.
My approach to treating OCD
One thing that sets my approach apart is the way that I balance empathy with directness. OCD treatment asks people to face very real fears, so I believe it's important to be supportive while also coaching you forward one step at a time in a way that empowers you rather than reinforces your compulsions.
