Vanessa Litoff PsyD

I’m a clinical psychologist and faculty member at Mount Sinai Hospital. I specialize in treating obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) and anxiety-related conditions, including generalized anxiety, social anxiety, phobias, health anxiety and panic disorder. My approach is grounded in exposure therapy (Exposure and Response Prevention or ERP), the most well-researched and effective treatment for OCD.

I received my doctoral degree in clinical psychology from Roosevelt University and completed extensive cognitive-behavioral therapy training at Alexian Brothers Behavioral Health Hospital, McLean SouthEast Hospital, and South Shore Mental Health. I went on to complete a fellowship at The Reeds Center and later worked at Grand Central Psychology—both practices specializing in the treatment of OCD and anxiety. In addition to exposure therapy, I incorporate compassion-focused and relational approaches into my work.
