Therapy for OCD, anxiety & trauma · RI, MA & TN
You're doing everything right. So why does it still feel like this?
It doesn’t have to feel this way.
Your brain won't stop. You're exhausted in a way that's hard to explain — and you're starting to wonder if it always has to feel this way.
Does any of this sound familiar?
You replay conversations for days — wondering what you should have said differently
You have thoughts you'd never say out loud, ones that embarrass or scare you
You're always waiting for something to go wrong, even when things are fine
You've tried therapy before and felt like it didn't really help
You're on the edge of something big — and terrified of falling apart
You're exhausted in a way that a good night's sleep just doesn't fix
If you're nodding along — you're in the right place.
Hi, I’m Stephanie.
I'm here to help you break free from OCD, anxiety & trauma — and finally feel at ease in your own mind.
I'm Stephanie Barboza, LMHC — a licensed therapist specializing in OCD, anxiety, trauma, and postpartum mental health.
Working with me isn't about sitting in silence while someone nods along. It's a real conversation. I'm warm, I'm direct, and yes — we will probably laugh at some point. I'll challenge you honestly and kindly, because that's what actually creates change. My job isn't to tell you how to heal. It's to walk alongside you while you do.
Specializing in helping adults break free from what's holding them back.

How it works
Here’s how it works
Step 1: Reach out — Fill out the contact form and I'll be in touch within 1–2 business days to schedule your free 15-minute consultation. No pressure, no commitment.
Step 2: We connect — On our free consultation call, you share what's going on and I explain how I work. Together we decide if it feels like a good fit.
Step 3: We get to work — If it feels right, we schedule your first session and start doing the real work — at a pace that feels challenging but not overwhelming.
You don't have to keep living like this.
Relief is possible. A quieter mind, more confidence in your decisions, and a life that finally feels like yours — that's what we're working toward together.
