Linda Combes LCSW

I provide individual therapy to adolescents and adults with OCD. I utilize evidence-based treatment to target a wide range of OCD presentations, including—but not limited to—sexual orientation, relationships, pedophilia, scrupulosity, and contamination. About 40–50% of my caseload includes clients with OCD or related disorders.

In addition to OCD, I also treat anxiety disorders (phobia, social anxiety, and generalized anxiety) as well as PTSD. My clinical approach is grounded in extensive training and practical experience with Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP), Inference-Based Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (I-CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT), Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT), and Comprehensive Behavioral (ComB) treatment for Body-Focused Repetitive Behaviors (BFRBs).

I have completed intensive training in OCD through IOCDF’s BTTI. I’ve also had specialized training in CBT for OCD through Massachusetts General Hospital and Inference-Based CBT through the OCD Training School. Additionally, my clinical education includes training in ACT, Trauma-Informed ACT, Trauma-Focused CBT, and ComB for Body-Focused Repetitive Behaviors (BFRBs).

I welcome people of all races, religions, sexual orientations, gender expressions, cultural identities, and abilities to explore whether my services can meet their needs. I create a space for all clients to be unjudged, deeply heard and skillfully supported as they engage in their important work.
