Interested in Becoming a New Patient?
Thank you for your interest in treatment! We greatly appreciate all of our patients, and all those who put their trust in us! 

Unfortunately, please note that ALL of our providers currently have WAIT-LISTS for treatment (current as of December 2024). As our waitlist is already fairly long, we do not want you to wait too long to receive care if it is needed, so we feel that the most responsible thing for us to do is to CLOSE our waitlist at this time. We wish we could help everyone right away, but that is unfortunately not possible! We are very grateful that you are interested in our services, and we hope to have the opportunity to work with you in the future. 

To search for providers with similar expertise and other resources,
we encourage you to visit the provider directories at:
www.iocdf.org, www.adaa.org, www.abct.org, www.bfrb.org, www.tourette.org

Our practice hopes to open our waitlist again in early 2025 (though there would likely still be a several month wait for new patients at that time). Please check back then if you are interested in being added to our waitlist, as we'll have a form accessible here on our website to complete.

*If you are open to ongoing, telehealth sessions before 3pm with the first available clinician, please email us at [email protected] to let us know, as that may allow for some flexibility to get you started sooner.

Thank you for understanding!

​Welcome!

Thank you for your interest in our services! Our clinicians have specialized training in the treatment of Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) and Related Disorders (Tourette’s Disorder, Trichotillomania, Body Dysmorphic Disorder, Skin Picking/Excoriation Disorder, Hoarding), and Anxiety Disorders (Generalized Anxiety Disorder, Separation Anxiety Disorder, Social Anxiety / Social Phobia, Specific Phobias, Panic Disorder, Agoraphobia, Selective Mutism).

Our providers use evidence-based treatment approaches, which means that the treatment strategies we use are supported by significant empirical research. We conduct Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT), including use of Exposure Therapy, Exposure and Response Prevention for OCD (E/RP), Comprehensive Behavioral Intervention for Tics (CBIT), Comprehensive Model for Behavioral Treatment (ComB), and Habit Reversal Training (HRT) in the treatment of our patients.

The Jacob Center for Evidence-Based Treatment provides a safe, compassionate environment for patients to discuss their symptoms and concerns. We are extremely committed to helping patients effectively manage symptoms, make desired improvements, and reach goals using evidence-based treatment strategies. Our clinicians work collaboratively with each patient to develop a treatment plan that is uniquely tailored to each individual and their goals. We also believe in an integrated treatment approach and will gladly work with other professionals (e.g., psychiatrists, physicians, teachers) to facilitate comprehensive healthcare for our patients. We welcome all individuals regardless of race, ethnicity, sexual orientation, gender identity, and/or religious beliefs.

We hope that you will entrust us with your care!
