Joshua Kohansamad LMFT

I specialize in comprehensive and customized OCD and related disorders treatment, with an emphasis on rumination, decision anxiety, and co-occurring physical symptoms and chronic pain. Many of my clients have tried standard ERP before seeing me and find success with my approach. 90% of my practice is dedicated to these conditions.

I use both ERP and ICBT as my main modalities alongside Metacognitive Therapy, all integrated in a unique way that is specifically crafted to address your particular problem.

Feel free to reach out – I offer a free hour long consultation to make sure your questions get answered.

I have extensively studied OCD, rumination, and chronic pain for 20 years and have been in practice as a therapist since 2020. My approach is largely driven by the work of Dr. Frederick Aardema (ICBT), Dr. Steve Hayes (ACT), Dr. Michael Greenberg (RF-ERP), Dr. Lorimer Moseley (Pain Researcher) and Dr. Adrian Wells (MCT). I have sought advanced training in managing chronic pain and physical ailments and have integrated this into my work with OCD clients with lasting results.

I also have a background in Zen and Japanese Psychotherapy.

I have lived abroad for many years and have experience working effectively with all races, genders, ethnicities, sexual orientations, and any other dimension of the human experience. I keep an open and nonjudgmental orientation to all.
