Pooja Saraff PhD, ABPP

I have successfully treated several individuals with different types of OCD symptoms. Approximately half of my current practice is focused on working with individuals with OCD and related disorders.

I am also a senior clinician for Cambridge Psychology Group’s (CPG) Intensive CBT Program for Anxiety and OCD, which is a 2-week accelerated exposure-based program for clients age 16+ with OCD, panic disorder, agoraphobia, social anxiety, or specific phobia. Clients meet 1-on-1 with a team of highly qualified clinicians for a total of 18 hours to learn CBT skills and complete 10+ hours of supervised in-person exposures.

I specialize in treatment of anxiety related disorders (such as generalized anxiety, phobias, social anxiety, agoraphobia, panic disorder, health anxiety); OCD and related disorders; Post traumatic stress disorder; mood disorders; and borderline personality disorder. I provide evidence based treatment including cognitive behavioral therapy, exposure and response prevention for anxiety and OCD related disorders, and Cognitive Processing Therapy for trauma. In addition, I am extensively trained in Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) and provide individual therapy and have facilitated skills groups in the past. Mindfulness techniques and Motivational Interviewing are part of my therapeutic processes.

I have trained with specialists in CBT and ERP treatment and researchers through graduate training at University of Wyoming and postdoc at Boston University’s Center for Anxiety and Related Disorders. I am also board certified in Behavioral and Cognitive Therapies by the American Board of Professional Psychology (ABPP).

I am a woman of color and immigrant myself and passionate about working with those of minority status. I have worked with people from diverse backgrounds and under-represented groups, with diversity in race, ethnicity, age, gender, and socio-economic status.
