OCD, ERP & Perinatal Therapy in Virginia
In-Person in Vienna, VA | Telehealth Across Virginia
When you are dealing with constant doubt, looping intrusive thoughts, or anxiety that feels impossible to turn off, it can feel like your world has narrowed. Everyday decisions become exhausting, and attempts to find certainty or relief may only provide temporary comfort.
At Red Elm Psychotherapy, we provide evidence-based therapy for OCD, anxiety, and perinatal mental health concerns. Whether you prefer meeting in our welcoming Vienna office or from the comfort of your home anywhere in Virginia, our goal is to help you build lasting change—not just temporary relief.
Our Specialties in Virginia
OCD & Anxiety Treatment (ERP)
We specialize in treating obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) using Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP), the gold-standard treatment for OCD. Rather than simply helping you cope with anxiety, ERP helps you change your relationship with uncertainty so anxiety loses its grip over time.

Existential OCD
Distressing intrusive thoughts that feel frightening, real, or out of character
Anxiety disorders and perfectionism
