We’re proud to highlight Dr. Sanam Abrishami, individual and group therapist at PCH Treatment Center and private practitioner in West Los Angeles, who recently presented on treating Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) using an integrative, evidence-based approach.

With over a decade of clinical experience, Dr. Abrishami combines Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), DBT, IFS, and Psychodynamic Therapy to support clients facing OCD, anxiety, CPTSD, and addictive or unworkable behaviors.
