Leslie Rubin, Ph.D.
Licensed clinical psychologist specializing in anxiety disorders, obsessive-compulsive disorder, body-focused repetitive behaviors, and perinatal mood and anxiety disorders.
My Practice
Treatment for adults with anxiety disorders, OCD, body-focused repetitive behaviors like skin picking and hair pulling, and perinatal mood and anxiety disorders. Mental rituals that consume hours. Intrusive thoughts. Compulsive checking. Chronic physical tension and catastrophic thinking.
I also work with the psychological impact of chronic illnesses including autoimmune conditions and hEDS—the anxiety about symptoms and flares, navigating healthcare systems, and the overlap between autonomic symptoms and anxiety.
Treatment Approach
Cognitive-behavioral therapy with attention to the therapeutic relationship. Evidence-based practices including Exposure and Response Prevention for OCD and the Comprehensive Behavioral Model for body-focused repetitive behaviors. Treatment is individualized.
