About
One of my loved ones suffers from severe OCD. I saw how this affected them and how much help they needed. I want to help individuals who are suffering and give them the tools to enjoy the life they deserve. You are more than just your diagnosis. I love seeing my members progress. Even if you think you're making a small step, trust me, it's a huge one. My clinical background is in substance abuse, including extensive training in trauma. I enjoy researching how the brain works, especially the effects of trauma and addiction.

I started with Megan at the end of last October. I began fairly sceptical as I had worked with a number of therapists who just made me feel overall worse. For the past 4 years, I lost sight of a lot of things that made me the person I am. Thanks to Megan, I feel like the best version of myself that I have been for a very long time. She has guided me in a direction in which I have understood things about myself that I would have never seen before. She has changed my life. Amazing therapist!!

We recently switched to have Megan as the therapist for my 13 year old son! She is awesome! She has found a way to connect with my son and build trust. She has given us more understanding about OCD, how it works, and how to fight back. She has really fine tuned our ERP to make it even more productive. I’m so glad we found such a caring and competent therapist!

Absolutely the best experience ive ever had reaching out for help, especially considering the scope and range of my issues. Megan is superb in every way you could ask for from a therapist. Megan is very easy to talk to and sincerely cares about creating the best plan possible for to help me reach my goals regarding much more than OCD but all the other areas in my life that I needed help with. I feel confident that ive been set on the path to a better quality of life and i feel confident in a brighter future.

I can’t even begin to express my satisfaction with the therapist I was reffered to. Megan Ocando had an amazing talent for engaging patients in a way that feels genuine, all while quickly hitting the important points and covering all the bases necessary for the purpose of our session. Very understanding, professional, and compassionate. I’m happy to be paired with such a skilled therapist and I am excited to have someone whom I trust to be able to help me with this struggle that I’ve endured by myself but have at this time in my live lost the ability to do so.
