Getting to know Andre Carrington
I specialize in OCD and use Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP), the most effective, evidence-based treatment for OCD. Beyond our sessions, you'll have access to ongoing support when you need it most, including direct messaging, support groups, and real-time help when OCD symptoms spike
My approach to OCD therapy is patient, kind, and fun, without shame. I love seeing members show progress, witnessing their excitement, and celebrating their wins. OCD is highly treatable, and I've seen firsthand that ERP (Exposure and Response Prevention) works for most people. You can do this! There is no shame in getting help. My other areas of focus include substance abuse, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), and faith-based therapy.
My personal connection to OCD and mental health
I observed my mom having a lot of intrusive thoughts about harm when I was growing up. It made me want to learn more, because I saw her worrying about things that other people weren't worrying about. It's helped me to be compassionate about the distress that Members are feeling. I know you can feel level 10 distress about something, even if other people don't understand those feelings of worry.
What sets me apart from other OCD therapists
I worked with people with substance use disorder for five years, so I'm very empathetic towards that. There's also been substance use disorder in my family and seeing people recover is near and dear to my heart.
How I create a safe, supportive environment in therapy
I have a lot of empathy and I let my Members express whatever they need to express without any judgment. I let them know I've heard many of these things before and it's okay to talk about them. There's a weight lifted off their shoulders after we chat.
What I want to help you see in yourself
I want my Members to have a can-do-it attitude. I want them to feel confident they can do exposures and to know that they have the resiliency to overcome their compulsions.
