THE MIND BEHIND

THE OBSESSIVE MIND.

Lauren McMeikan is an
OCD, Anxiety & Eating Disorder Therapist 
and Mental Health Advocate
dedicated to helping people learn to better operate their obsessive minds.

"I prefer to think of my patients and myself as fellow travelers, a term that abolishes distinctions between 'them' (the afflicted) and 'us' (the healers). ... We are all in this together, and there is no therapist and no person immune to the inherent tragedies of existence."

Irvin Yalom
