Athena Dacanay, PhD

I maintain a steady caseload focused on evidence‑based treatment for OCD and anxiety. Each week, I provide ERP to approximately ten individuals, delivering structured exposure work and response‑prevention strategies. I also support three families using the SPACE model, guiding caregivers in reducing accommodation and strengthening supportive responses. My practice includes clients for whom OCD is present but not the primary treatment focus, and I integrate OCD‑informed interventions as indicated. Since completing my training, I have worked with more than fifty individuals with OCD or significant obsessive‑compulsive symptoms, allowing me to refine my clinical judgment and intervention skills.

I completed the Behavior Therapy Training Institute (BTTI) course in 2017.
