Expert OCD Treatment — Now Available to Pennsylvania Residents

If you live in Pennsylvania and are struggling with OCD, specialized evidence-based treatment is now available via telehealth. Dr. Henry Srednicki, a nationally recognized OCD specialist based in neighboring New Jersey and New York, offers comprehensive telehealth OCD therapy to Pennsylvania residents — from Philadelphia and Pittsburgh to Allentown, Harrisburg, Scranton, Reading, Lancaster, Erie, and every community in between.

Pennsylvania's OCD Treatment Gap — and Why Telehealth Fills It

Pennsylvania is among the most geographically and demographically diverse states in the Northeast. Philadelphia offers access to major medical institutions, yet true OCD specialists trained in Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) are rare even there. Outside the Philadelphia and Pittsburgh metros, rural and small-town Pennsylvania residents face an even steeper challenge: the Pocono region, Central PA, and the northern tier have almost no access to mental health specialists of any kind, let alone OCD-trained therapists.

Pennsylvania's strong religious communities — particularly in Lancaster County's Amish and Mennonite communities, and in its large Catholic populations in Philadelphia, Pittsburgh, and Scranton — also create specific patterns of OCD. Scrupulosity OCD (obsessive religious and moral fears) is especially prevalent and particularly undertreated in communities where mental health care carries stigma or is seen as conflicting with faith.

Through PSYPACT-authorized telehealth, Dr. Srednicki brings the same level of specialized OCD care available in Manhattan directly to Pennsylvania homes — with no travel, no wait for a local opening, and no need to settle for a generalist.

Who Dr. Srednicki Treats in Pennsylvania

Dr. Srednicki works with Pennsylvania adults, teens, and children across the entire state — from the Philadelphia suburbs and Main Line communities to Pittsburgh's North Shore, the Lehigh Valley, Centre County, the Poconos, and every region in between. For those in southeastern Pennsylvania, in-person sessions are also available at the New Jersey office just across the Delaware River.

~ Integrated Treatment for OCD & Sex Addiction in Pennsylvania

Because OCD and Compulsive Sexual Behavior Disorder interact and reinforce each other, treatment must be coordinated — not siloed. Dr. Srednicki's integrated approach includes:

• Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) — the gold-standard OCD treatment, targeting obsessions and breaking the compulsion cycle, including sexual compulsions driven by OCD anxiety


• Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT) — for both OCD thought patterns and compulsive sexual behavior, including trigger identification and relapse prevention


• Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) — developing psychological flexibility and values-based living, reducing shame-driven cycles


• Distress tolerance skills (DBT-informed) — addressing the emotional dysregulation that drives both OCD and compulsive sexual behavior


• Shame reduction and psychoeducation — helping clients understand the critical difference between OCD intrusive thoughts, compulsions, and addictive behavior

Telehealth sessions are conducted via a HIPAA-compliant secure video platform, making it easy to participate from anywhere in Pennsylvania — whether you are in Philadelphia, Pittsburgh, Harrisburg, Allentown, Erie, Reading, or any smaller community.
