Christian R Komor, PsyD

I specialize in the treatment of obsessive-compulsive disorder and related conditions. I had completed my Doctoral training, Internship and Licensure prior to developing OCD in the mid-990s. Since then, I have focused my practice entirely on Obsessive Compulsive Spectrum Disorders. I have worked with many hundreds of people affected by every form OC-Spectrum Disorders, taught day-long professional training seminars in over 100 cities across the United States. This gave me the opportunity to shape clinical standards, mentor other clinicians, and consult on high-acuity cases.

My practice combines extensive clinical experience with a direct, compassionate, individualized approach. Each person with OCD is unique. OCD interacts with the persons’ life experiences which often shape its form and expression. All of us have different circumstances and challenges we need to navigate while having OCD.

OCD lives in the brain and the brain does not like to change. A treatment provider must have the confidence to learn how your OCD functions and the experience to develop tailored Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) exercises you can practice to gradually shift your neural pathways and give you back control of your choices.

I have extensive experience with intrusive thoughts and “Pure-O”, checking, perfectionistic rituals, religious or moral scrupulosity, and distressing violent or sexual obsessions and a myriad of other forms of OCD. As a senior practitioner I tend to work with more difficult cases and am comfortable assisting with more rare presentations of OCD. Again, I think knowing OCD from the inside out (having been diagnosed over 30 years ago) as well as clinically allows me to have a higher success rate than usual.

When working with dual-diagnosis situations I use a 12-Step informed model. I specialize in working with Climate Change Anxiety which is not on the OC-Spectrum, but which is at epidemic levels at this time and likely to increase.

Doctoral training in clinical psychology, with an internship focus on obsessive-compulsive disorders. My clinical work has focused on OCD and related conditions since the 1990s. I have treated hundreds of patients and spent more than five years teaching day-long seminars on the treatment of obsessive-compulsive spectrum disorders to clinicians across the United States.
