Pasadena Clinical Group offers a full continuum of evidence-based OCD treatment services for adults across the greater Los Angeles area. Whether you need weekly individual therapy with an ERP-trained psychologist, a small private group of adults working through similar themes, or short-term intensive support, our outpatient program is structured around what the OCD research literature actually shows works.
Most clients benefit from a combination — an individual ERP-trained therapist plus a structured group cohort — but every plan is built around your schedule, severity, and goals.
Confidential weekly sessions with a California-licensed clinician trained in Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP), Inference-Based CBT, and contemporary OCD subtype work. Sessions are paced to be challenging without being destabilizing. Available in-person at our Pasadena office and via secure California telehealth.
Small, private group cohorts run by a licensed clinician for adults working with similar OCD presentations. Groups are not generic peer-support sessions — they are clinically structured around OCD-specific themes such as the OCD loop, ERP rationale, uncertainty tolerance, reassurance seeking, and family dynamics. We run dedicated cohorts that center on shared OCD themes.
For clients whose OCD is interfering with work, parenting, or daily life in a way that calls for more than one session per week, we offer short, structured intensives that combine individual ERP work with group therapy and care coordination. Designed to give Los Angeles clients meaningful traction in weeks, not months.
Secure, HIPAA-aware video sessions for clients anywhere in California. We see clients across the LA basin, the San Gabriel Valley, the South Bay, the Westside, the Valley, and beyond — people who would otherwise lose their evening to LA traffic. Telehealth groups and individual sessions are clinically equivalent to in-person care for OCD treatment.
We are deliberate about pacing. The first job is not exposure — it is making sure you know what you are signing up for and that you trust the clinician across from you.
A 20-minute phone or video conversation with our care coordinator to understand what you are experiencing, verify your insurance benefits, answer questions, and decide whether scheduling a clinical assessment is the next step.
A senior California psychologist meets with you to identify your OCD subtype(s), rule out look-alike conditions, and recommend a treatment combination — individual, group, intensive, or a blend — that fits your life.
You begin individual sessions with an ERP-trained clinician and, when appropriate, join a small group cohort. We move at a humane pace; exposures are collaborative, never coercive, and matched to your real-life situations across LA.
Once symptoms stabilize, we step down session frequency and build a clear plan for handling the inevitable spikes that come with stress, life changes, postpartum periods, or new triggers — so progress sticks.
Many of the clients we work with in Los Angeles have never met another person who openly shares the kind of intrusive thoughts they live with. The shame is enormous. In a well-run OCD group, that shame loses most of its grip in a single session.
Our groups are not "share circles." They are structured, clinician-led cohorts where members learn the OCD model, name their compulsions out loud, hear how other clients navigate similar themes, and practice ERP principles together. Group is not a downgrade from individual care — it is its own evidence-supported treatment, and many clients find it accelerates progress.
Each modality has its own page with who it fits, what a session looks like, and what it can help with.
