Lissette H. Cortes, PsyD, CEDS

About 90 percent of my case load presents with OCD, or related conditions. I specialize in the treatment of co-morbid OCD and eating disorders. I have treated over 200 individuals with OCD. I provide individual therapy, as well as family support through SPACE and group therapy in our clinic. We also provide customized intensive programs as well as nutritional therapy, home visits and out of office exposures.

I am an eating disorders specialist and treat this co-occurring condition through evidence-based interventions for the treatment of eating disorders. I am a Health At Every Size (HAES) aligned clinician and practice from a size-inclusive and diet-rejecting perspective incorporating Intuitive Eating principles. I am also trained in SPACE for parenting interventions and CBIT for Tics and Tourette’s.

I completed my post-doctoral training at an specialized OCD treatment center, working various levels of care including outpatient, intensive outpatient and support living under the supervision of clinicians in the IOCDFs Scientific Advisory Board. I have been in private practice for 7 years, focusing on the treatment of OCD and related conditions. I have completed the pediatric BTTI, SPACE, and CBIT training. I have attended multiple IOCDF conferences, also presenting at some of these online and in person. I also co-founded the IOCDF’s SIG for OCD and Eating disorders.

I provide therapy services in both English and Spanish languages. My client focus is inclusive of the LGBT population as well as of populations of diverse religious backgrounds, ethnicities and nationalities.

I was born in Colombia, and grew up in South Florida. Having attended graduate school in South Florida allowed me to practice and learn much about working with diverse populations.

We offer various groups for OCD and related conditions including free support groups. https://www.healocded.com/groups
