Alison Kleppin, LPCC
Hi there! My name is Alison (she/her). Since 2018, I have specialized in treating OCD, anxiety disorders, and their co-occurring conditions, primarily through the use of exposure based interventions, accommodation reduction strategies, behavioral activation, and some dialectic behavioral therapy skills.
My experience serving these clients has highlighted the ways that OCD can hide in plain sight, keep us on the run, or resist our best attempts to unstick our worries. From misappropriating our values as a means of controlling our behaviors to targeting uncomfortable, frightening, or repulsive themes - OCD can be merciless, deceptive, and exhausting.
My experience also teaches me, however, that this does not always have to be the case.
My goal is to empower you and your support system to challenge the rules of OCD and anxiety and step into uncertainty with new tools to handle hard situations. With over 6 years of experience providing evidence-based treatment in a partial hospitalization setting, I've aided countless child, adolescent, and adult clients and families in their goals to get unstuck. While treatment will at times be challenging, I will support you every step of the way with an individualized approach that prioritizes non-judgment, directness, humor, and even fun.
I look forward to making the changes you seek together and breaking the cycle of escalating distress and fear. Let’s be brave together!
