Juliana Ochoa, LMHC, LPC

My practice specializes in treating anxiety and OCD, which make up approximately 75% of my caseload. I use evidence-based approaches such as cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), exposure and response prevention (ERP), and acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT). When working with adolescents, I offer psychoeducation and support to their families to help them understand OCD and participate constructively in the treatment process.

I have worked with children and families for over 15 years, the last 12 specializing in anxiety and depression in adolescents and young adults. I have treated individuals with OCD and related disorders the last 5 years and have obtained advanced training in this area. My training includes specialized training in exposure and response prevention (ERP) through the International OCD Foundation Pediatric Behavior Therapy Training Institute, advanced training in CBT and ERP Therapy for OCD in Children and Adolescents, and advanced coursework in acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT).

In my clinical practice, I work with a diverse population from a wide range of racial, ethnic, religious, and LGBTQIA+ backgrounds.

Many of my clients are from multicultural or international backgrounds, including international college students, first-generation individuals, and recent immigrants. I have experience supporting individuals navigating acculturation stress, identity development, family adjustment, and cross-cultural relationship issues.
