  • Licensed Clinical Psychologist, Clinical Director


    Congratulations on making your first step towards healing.

    I am humbly here to join you on possibly the most important journey of your life.

    My name is Dr. Ezra Cowan and my passion is to help you overcome your emotional and behavioral obstacles so you can live a richer and more vibrant life. I have an expertise in the treatments of obsessive-compulsive disorders (OCD) and misophonia. These are two distinct conditions which have two different treatments, and I have researched and accrued extensive clinical experience treating them both. I wanted to become an expert in these areas because I became aware of how each in their own way are tyrannical forces can that overpower you, and require a very targeted and precise manner to overcome them. The mission of the Center for OCD and Misophonia is do just that: provide the highest level of quality care for OCD and misophonia so you can have a successful recovery.

    I am excited to offer to work with you to find a way to inner calm, joy, peace, just as I have done with many other people. You will find that I will labor to understand, validate, and support you in the journey of therapy. If you are interested in making a better and broader life for yourself, you have found a partner.

    Working within a healing environment of acceptance, warmth, and understanding, you will receive therapeutic interventions that are drawn from cutting-edge cognitive behavioral (CBT) and acceptance-based (ACT and DBT) approaches. When necessary, I also integrate relational and experiential methods to enhance the efficacy of your therapy.

    Reach out now if you feel we can work together on your journey for a better life.

    When was the last time you felt truly at peace, present and capable of managing life?

    My name is Eliyahu Serkez and I am passionate about helping individuals just like you. Throughout my career I have dedicated myself to treating those who feel stuck and controlled by anxiety, OCD, misophonia and past traumas because I recognize the profound impact these conditions can have on one's life.

    Feeling shackled by emotions is something none of us want to feel, yet it affects many of us. My goal is to help you break free of emotional pain, be able to navigate life and find meaning and purpose in things that are important to you. So welcome - and know that one of the bravest things you can do is begin this journey.

    As a therapist, I have guided clients through similar journeys of healing. Drawing from my post-graduate training, I use empirically supported treatments – primarily cognitive behavioral, acceptance and mindfulness-based approaches (CBT, ACT, MBCT and ERP) to treat anxiety, OCD, misophonia and complex trauma. These techniques have proven effective in helping individuals like yourself triumph and thrive.

    Just like you, I have faced my own challenges and understand the mountains we must overcome. So join me and together, we can work towards breaking free from these constraints and equipping you with the skills and resilience necessary to navigate life's inevitable ups and downs.
