Shirley Babior LCSW, LMFT

I have treated over 100 people with OCD during my 30+ years in practice where I specialize and see OCD and anxiety problems exclusively. I am now offering teletherapy through all of California. I find that this offers privacy and convenience while obtaining the same results as needing to go to my office! I review new evidence-based research to help you finally overcome your OCD issues. Medication referrals are provided when needed. Compassion, warmth, and skill aid in recovery. I provide enough time on a phone or text consultation to answer your questions and concerns. Next-day and weekend appointments are available.

I was an associate in the cognitive behavioral therapy unit at Boston’s McLean Hospital (a Harvard Medical School teaching affiliate). I am a co-author of self-help books and a therapist manual on anxiety disorders and research publications with the UCSD Department of Psychiatry. I was one of the founders of the Anxiety and Depression Disorders Association of America(ADAA.org) I was a member of the board of the Society of Behavioral Medicine.

I aim to appreciate the wide range of diversity issues involved in my therapy practice.
