California Psychology Center
At the California Psychology Center (CPC), founded by members of the OCD Clinic at Stanford University’s School of Medicine, we understand that managing OCD involves more than just symptom relief—it’s about enhancing your overall quality of life. Our compassionate team specializes in personalized, evidence-based care for OCD and related challenges, including anxiety, depression, and trauma-related disorders.
Our psychologists have received exceptional training at renowned institutions such as Stanford University, the Palo Alto VA, and the University of Michigan. We bring advanced expertise in gold-standard therapies, including Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT).
At CPC, we see each individual as unique. We partner closely with you to create a customized treatment plan that not only addresses your symptoms but also empowers you to achieve your personal goals. Our holistic approach ensures therapy is meaningful, collaborative, and designed to help you thrive.
Treatment of Co-occurring Disorders:
Having more than one struggle is the rule rather than the exception. Most people seeking treatment for OCD are also navigating additional challenges—whether it’s anxiety, depression, ADHD, perfectionism, eating disorders, or body-focused repetitive behaviors like skin picking or hair pulling. We understand the complexity of these overlapping experiences and offer comprehensive care to support the whole person.
Our approach is grounded in evidence-based therapies including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP), Habit Reversal Training (HRT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT). Treatment begins with a thoughtful, collaborative assessment to understand what’s maintaining your symptoms and how avoidance, compulsions, or emotion dysregulation may be showing up in your life.
With support, you’ll learn to face feared situations both in and between sessions, challenge unhelpful beliefs, care for your emotions with compassion, and build more meaningful, connected relationships.
Diversity Statement:
Our practice is deeply committed to fostering an inclusive, welcoming environment for both patients and providers. We are grounded in the ongoing practice of cultural humility—recognizing the impact of systemic injustice, valuing diverse lived experiences, and approaching each person with openness and respect. We actively seek to learn from those we serve and work to create a space where all identities are affirmed and valued. Inclusion is not a box we check—it’s a core part of how we show up, every day, in our clinical work and in our team culture.
Our clinicians receive ongoing training in cultural humility, anti-oppressive practice, and working with diverse populations, including BIPOC, LGBTQIA+ individuals, immigrants, and those navigating religious or intergenerational differences. Many team members have specialized experience supporting clients with marginalized identities and are committed to examining how culture, power, and context shape mental health. Through supervision, continuing education, and lived experience, we strive to offer affirming, respectful, and culturally responsive care.
Our practice serves a diverse client population across the US, including individuals from a wide range of cultural, racial, and linguistic backgrounds. We have clinicians who are multilingual and who bring lived experience and specialized training in working with multicultural communities. We are committed to reducing barriers to care and providing culturally responsive services that honor each client’s unique identity, values, and experiences. Our intake process includes attention to cultural fit and identity preferences to support meaningful, affirming therapeutic relationships.
