Kara Sanderson, LCSW

Psychotherapist
CA
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. I became a therapist after being adopted as an infant and wanting to understand and support the emotional challenges that can come with family transitions. In our sessions, I'll focus on building a strong rapport so you can feel comfortable and confident sharing what’s on your mind. I value the full journey—getting to know your experiences, working through challenges together, and seeing the effort you put into meaningful change. I also have experience treating depression, trauma, and multiple forms of anxiety, and I've provided group therapy for the LGBTQIA+ community.
