Getting to know Mellissa Arena

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 love helping people overcome barriers they're facing. As an OCD therapist, I consider each member an individual with their own lived experiences and variables that impact who they are and how they're affected by OCD. I'll create an individualized treatment plan specifically designed for you. I know starting this process can seem overwhelming and scary. I'm here to help you feel comfortable and understood. Beyond OCD, my other areas of professional focus include substance abuse, anxiety, OCD, depression, adjustment, and life changes.
