ABOUT US

You’re unique, so your therapy should be too.

Your experiences, challenges, and goals are unlike anyone else’s, which is why therapy should never be one-size-fits-all. We tailor evidence-based approaches to meet your individual needs, values, and pace. Together, we’ll create a path forward that feels authentic to you.

Real Change Starts with Real Insight.​

Real change begins with mindful awareness of the patterns that keep you stuck, like worry, self-doubt, intrusive thoughts, or the weight of past experiences. By bringing these cycles into focus, you can gain the insight needed to shift towards what is important to you - your values.

Our Focuses:

  • Features intrusive thoughts, images, or bodily sensations that cause an uncomfortable emotion (e.g., anxiety, guilt, shame, etc.), leading one to engage in compulsive behavior (e.g., mental, behavioral) to alleviate that uncomfortable emotion. Learn More

  • Anxiety is part of being human. It appears when we’re anticipating uncertainty, preparing for danger, or pushing ourselves beyond our comfort zones. In small doses, it can help us stay alert and motivated. But when anxiety becomes persistent, intrusive, or tied to everyday situations, it can feel like your nervous system is stuck in overdrive.

  • Character trait associated with a strong need and excessive worries about living life the “right” way. Many people with perfectionism have a high moral compass, experience rigidity around rules, set unrealistic expectations, and are critical of themselves and others. Learn More

  • PTSD develops in some individuals who experience a traumatic event. Some symptoms include flashbacks, nightmares, avoidance of triggers, mood instability, hypervigilance, poor self-esteem, or interpersonal difficulties. Learn More

  • "Melissa is an incredibly attentive therapist that pays attention to the most important details. She'll both laugh with you and challenge you when you most need it.”

  • "Dr. Jermann is incredibly knowledgeable about OCD, anxiety, and perfectionism and took the time to really help me understand how my brain worked, which made the ERP treatment even more effective."

  • "Melissa was a lifesaver! I was suffering from terrible ocd, along with self-esteem issues. I am not the same person after her."

  • "Dr. Melissa is a skillful OCD therapist-she is easy to talk to, and approaches treatment with a sweet balance of empathy and humor. I would totally recommend working with her."

  • Melissa is supportive, kind, and empathetic, but, at the same time, she will challenge you (in the right way). I am so grateful to have found her.

  • “My daughter was a client of Dr. Jermann for two years. Dr. Jermann is a true miracle in our lives. She was able to connect with my daughter in a way no other provider had ever been able to do.”

  • “After the birth of my daughter, I had misdiagnosed OCD, and I was in a hole of terror I never thought I'd get out of. Working with Dr. Melissa changed everything for me.”

The beliefs that feel the deepest are often the ones formed the earliest. Long before we had the ability to question them or understand the limitations of the people around us. This is why trauma is not only about what happened, but about how we mad
OCD is not just about intrusive thoughts. It is about how those thoughts become paired with a powerful emotional and physiological response. That is what makes it feel so real. You can recognize that a thought doesn’t make logical sense, and
