Exposure-based treatment for OCD and anxiety disorders

About

Dr. Emily Hanna

I am a clinical psychologist specializing in the treatment of obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) and anxiety disorders across the lifespan.

My training includes hospital-based and research settings, including the UCLA Semel Institute and Michigan Medicine. My work is grounded in evidence-based, exposure-focused treatment, with a primary emphasis on Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP).

I have experience providing both outpatient and intensive treatment, and frequently work with complex or higher-acuity presentations. I currently provide clinical care through the OCD & Anxiety Program of Southern California.
