Karla Pineda

My clients describe me as:

Calm, grounding, safe, and compassionate while helping them face their fears.

Something to know about my approach is:

I live by the saying "Anxiety is uncomfortable but not dangerous". I help clients approach their fears with the goal of reducing their distress short-term and increasing their quality of life long-term.

Together, we will:

work to decrease obsessive compulsive symptoms through exposure to fears in a safe format and decrease anxiety by learning to live by what matters to you and increasing your coping skills toolbox.

I specialize in working with people who:

Feel trapped by intrusive thoughts that don't seem to go away unless they perform specific rituals that are time consuming and frustrating. I also work with people who like life is passing them by while they're stuck thinking about the "what ifs".

More about me and my practice:

I specialize in treating OCD and anxiety disorders through exposure and values based approaches.
