Excessive worry often manifests through repetitive thought loops and compulsive behaviors, characteristic of severe Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD). Research indicates that the most effective management of severe OCD involves a multimodal treatment approach. When talk therapy is integrated with other treatment modalities, such as medication or exposure and response prevention (ERP), patients frequently experience significant improvement.
Talk therapy plays a vital role in this combination by providing a supportive environment where clients can develop emotional coping mechanisms. It enables individuals to explore and understand the underlying triggers of their obsessive thoughts and compulsive actions. Additionally, regular therapy sessions help track progress over time, allowing for adjustments in treatment strategies to optimize recovery. Through this holistic approach, individuals with severe OCD can achieve meaningful relief and improved quality of life.

We learn your habits and develop methods for harnessing your gifts effectively.

A philosopher once said, “We are spiritual beings having a human experience.” This paradox can give rise to emotional stumbling blocks and repetitive mental patterns that challenge our sense of self and meaning. While I do not offer religious counsel or incorporate prayer or scripture into sessions, I prioritize compassion and deep empathy for your personal values and the complexities of your conscience. I create a supportive and nonjudgmental environment where the ambiguity of spiritual experiences can be explored with openness and respect, facilitating authentic self-discovery and healing.

While Yee Therapy does not hold specific AASECT or other Sex Therapy certifications, I offer support to help you process experiences related to sexual discomfort, pain, impotence, frigidity, and relational issues between partners such as desire discrepancy, boundaries, preferences, and pacing. Through careful assessment of your patterns, I aim to normalize your experience and develop a shared language and relaxation techniques. These include shifting your internal dialogue and focus from yourself to your partner.
Individuals who have experienced sexual assault, abuse, or trauma—including childbirth—are welcomed into my consulting room with openness and compassion. There is no pressure to disclose more than you are ready to share, and no judgment regardless of what you choose to discuss. My heartfelt goal is to serve as a safe, supportive ally on your journey toward healing and authentic self-discovery.
