Jolie Pepperman, PsyD

My practice focuses on treating OCD and anxiety-related concerns in children, adolescents, and adults. I also offer parent support and coaching to help families better understand anxiety and OCD and support their loved ones outside of sessions. I work collaboratively with clients and families to navigate challenging moments and build skills that foster confidence and independence. My goal is to help clients and families feel more equipped to manage anxiety and OCD and engage more fully in the activities, relationships, and experiences that matter most.

In addition to OCD, I treat anxiety disorders including generalized anxiety disorder, social anxiety, panic disorder, and specific phobias. Some clients come to therapy for anxiety alone, while others experience anxiety alongside OCD. I take the time to understand each client’s unique experiences, what feels most challenging, and what they hope to work toward. Together, we develop a treatment approach that feels collaborative and responsive to their needs and goals.

I completed my doctoral training in clinical psychology at Widener University, with a focus on children, adolescents, families, and evidence-based approaches including CBT and ACT. I completed my postdoctoral training at the New England Center for OCD and Anxiety (NECOA), where I continue to work as a staff psychologist alongside my private practice. My clinical experience includes treating OCD and anxiety in children, teens, and adults, using Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP), Supportive Parenting for Anxious Childhood Emotions (SPACE), CBT, and ACT. I take a collaborative, individualized approach to help clients face fears, navigate discomfort, and make meaningful changes.
