Getting to know Desiree Reusch

Hi there, I'm Desiree! Welcome! It is not easy to open up and talk about feelings, so I commend you for even considering talking to a therapist. My focus I am trained and certified in Exposure and Response Prevention to treat OCD and anxiety disorders. I also use Behavioral Activation to treat mild to moderate depression. I am also trained in Habit Reversal Therapy for treating Tic Disorders and Body-Focused Repetitive Behaviors such as compulsive hair-pulling. My approach I provide a safe and supportive space for you to be vulnerable. Though talking and developing insight is important, taking actions by changing unwanted behaviors does even more to improve symptoms. I combine empathy with a behaviorally focused approach. My communication style I believe that having a nonjudgmental and gently direct approach is best. I am here to be an encouraging guide who may challenge you at times but never in a mean way. My journey to mental healthcare I have always been curious, especially about the brain and how it works. I grew up with a mother and brother who have severe mental illness and I was diagnosed with OCD when I was an adolescent. I have dealt with my own struggles with OCD and depression which has helped me to be much more compassionate with others struggling with mental health.
