Jamal Waire, PsyD

At Vivid Psychology Group, I provide evidence-based therapy for anxiety, OCD, and perfectionism. I offer individual therapy, both in-person and virtual, as well as SPACE, a highly effective parent-facing treatment for children and teens with anxiety and OCD. The majority of my current caseload consists of clients being treated for OCD and related disorders, allowing me to bring specialized knowledge and skill to this work.

I drawn from a variety of evidence-based approaches to treat conditions that commonly co-occur with OCD, including perfectionism, anxiety disorders, and depression. I collaborate closely with each client to identify and address any barriers to progress, ensuring everyone can fully access and benefit from treatment.

I completed my doctoral internship and postdoctoral fellowship at the Center for Anxiety in New York City, an APA-accredited training site specializing in evidence-based treatment for anxiety and OCD. Since 2019, I have received extensive training through expert supervision and continuing education courses in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP), and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT). I have also completed formal training in SPACE for anxious children and teens and SPACE for young adults experiencing failure to launch.

I am committed to providing culturally responsive and inclusive care that embraces each client’s unique identities, values, and lived experiences. Through ongoing training and education, I strive to remain informed about the ways culture, identity, and systems shape mental health experiences and the therapeutic process.
