Anxiety, OCD
& Mood Support
When your mind won’t settle,
you deserve support.
Maybe you replay conversations, question your decisions, or spend hours trying to feel certain. Or you feel low, disconnected, and worn down by things that used to feel manageable.
You don’t have to have a clear explanation—or a diagnosis—before we talk.

A place to talk openly
What you may be carrying
Capable on the outside.
Struggling on the inside.
You may be meeting everyone’s expectations while feeling exhausted by the effort it takes to keep going. Alongside anxiety and perfectionism, we can make room to talk about burnout and the pressure to keep pushing through.
- Overthinking conversations and anticipating what could go wrong.
- Feeling restless or on edge, even during time off.
- Experiencing unwanted thoughts that feel frightening or hard to discuss.
- Getting pulled into checking, reassurance-seeking, avoidance, or mental review.
- Feeling low, irritable, unmotivated, or disconnected from things that matter.
- Navigating mood changes or a diagnosis you’re trying to understand.
Anxiety & internal pressure
When every decision
feels like a test.
You may spend a lot of energy trying to prevent mistakes, avoid disappointing people, or prepare for every possible outcome. Even ordinary choices can start to feel exhausting.
We’ll look at the patterns around your worry, the expectations you hold yourself to, and the ways anxiety affects your relationships and daily choices.
Intrusive thoughts & OCD concerns
You can talk about
the thoughts you keep to yourself.
You may be caught between an unwanted thought and a strong urge to check, review, avoid, or ask for reassurance. It can be hard to describe what is happening, especially when you feel ashamed or worry about being misunderstood.
We’ll take time to understand your experience and discuss the kind of care that fits your needs. During the consultation, we can talk specifically about your OCD concerns, treatment goals, and whether my services are the right match.
Depression & mood support
When you haven’t
felt like yourself.
You might be moving through the day without much interest or energy, feeling more irritable than usual, or struggling to explain changes in your mood.
There’s space to talk about how this is affecting your life, including an existing mood-disorder diagnosis. We can discuss your current supports, what you’re hoping for from therapy, and whether coordination with other providers would be helpful.
Our work together
Understanding the patterns.
Practicing something different.
I draw from cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), DBT-informed skills, mindfulness, Internal Family Systems (IFS), and acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), alongside self-compassion. I tailor our work to your needs, goals, and what you’re looking for in therapy. We’ll check in together about what feels helpful and adjust as we go.
- Noticing patterns in worry, self-criticism, avoidance, and emotional overwhelm.
- Exploring the role of expectations, relationships, and earlier experiences.
- Practicing ways to respond to difficult feelings and make choices aligned with your values.
- Building boundaries and routines that fit your circumstances.
- Reviewing what is helping and adjusting our goals together.
Susan Hea Jin Ko, LMFT
You don’t need to rehearse
what you’ll say here.
I bring a warm, thoughtful approach to working with adults who are used to holding a great deal inside. You can begin with what feels confusing, repetitive, or difficult to put into words.
