Services Provided
Psychotherapy Dr. McClendon provides private telehealth psychotherapy sessions for adult Utah residents addressing Religious and Moral Scrupulosity (OCD-S). She is also authorized by the Association of State and Provincial Psychology Boards to provide telehealth (video chat) psychotherapy with clients living in the following states and US territories: Alabama, Arizona, Arkansas, Colorado, Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands, Connecticut, Delaware, Florida, Georgia, Idaho, Illinois, Indiana, Kansas, Kentucky, Maine, Maryland, Michigan, Minnesota, Mississippi, Missouri, Nebraska, Nevada, New Hampshire, New Jersey, North Carolina, North Dakota, Ohio, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, South Carolina, South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas, Vermont, Virginia, Washington state, Washington, D.C., West Virginia, Wisconsin, and Wyoming. (Other states have pending PSYPACT legislation.) OCD treatment is time intensive requiring daily attention to assignments and structured Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) exercises. Adequate OCD treatment is not simply talk-therapy or general counseling, and engages in exposure exercises in a structured, rigorous manner to enact lasting therapeutic change. Be cautious of any OCD treatment provider that claims to provide ERP that does not require a substantial out-of-session time commitment from you as a client. If you do not feel you can dedicate committed time to therapy tasks outside of session (approximately 1 hour per day) due to your present schedule or circumstances, you may want to reconsider whether entering therapy at this time is the appropriate decision for you. Sessions are 50 minutes Dr. McClendon's appointments are during the day; she does not hold late afternoon or evening appointments. Dr. McClendon offers treatment to adults (or to juniors or seniors in high school if they are homeschooled). Please note that due to the nature of outpatient psychotherapy treatment, Dr. McClendon cannot accept clients with psychosis or psychotic-like symptoms. |
Consultation Dr. McClendon offers virtual/video chat consultations addressing issues of OCD-S (scrupulosity), as well as other OCD subtypes. Consultations are open to all; not restricted to Utah residents or approved teletherapy states. Consultations are 50 minutes. |
