Meet Dr. Leslie Rubin

Leslie Rubin, PhD, is a licensed clinical psychologist specializing in anxiety disorders, obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), body-focused repetitive behaviors (BFRBs), perinatal mood and anxiety disorders, and the psychological impact of chronic illness. She brings more than a decade of clinical experience across private practice, university counseling centers, hospitals, and school settings.

Her approach is evidence-based, collaborative, and tailored to each client. Treatment integrates cognitive-behavioral therapy with process-based principles, with attention to the specific patterns and psychological processes that contribute to ongoing distress. Leslie also has specialized training in Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) for OCD and the Comprehensive Behavioral Model for BFRBs.

Treatment focuses on identifying the patterns that keep clients feeling stuck, developing practical strategies, and adjusting the approach based on what is most helpful. The goal is to provide care that is clinically grounded while remaining responsive to each client’s individual needs, preferences, and circumstances.
