Caroline Antler, PhD, MS, HSP

Antler Clinic is a health and rehabilitation psychology clinic dedicated to supporting patients with complex medical or neurological issues, diagnosed or not. Most (80%+) of these patients have OCD and/or related conditions. Most patients meet with Dr. Antler once weekly, yet intensives for OCD and OCD presenting in combination with PTSD are offered when scheduling allows.

I address co-occurring disorders in order of symptoms severity, often targeting OCD in tandem with PTSD, Autism, ADHD, and more. I am also a health and rehab psychologist which means all of my patients are dealing with complex medical issues in addition to OCD or other conditions.

Dr. Antler has worked with OCD for over a decade, first receiving OCD specific training at the Depression and Anxiety Specialty Clinic in Chicago under the late Dr. Rodney Benson, then going onto to work and treat patients with OCD and related conditions across a myriad of settings ranging from conducting clinical academic research at Northwestern University to treating patients in higher level of care settings at Hines VA Hospital. Her residency included specialized OCD and trauma training while her postdoc was at an OCD specializing outpatient clinic.

Dr. Antler is disabled and a disability justice advocate who practices from a liberation and anti-oppressive lens. Antler Clinic is dedicated to serving other disabled and chronically ill individuals. Dr. Antler has extensive training and experience with a variety of diverse populations, yet works to recognize her own privilege in her work with patients and how this might impact the therapeutic relationship.
