Gina Raciti

Gina Raciti, PhD, LCPC, is a dedicated psychologist who specializes in supporting individuals facing intrusive worries and compulsive behaviors. With a compassionate approach, she understands how OCD and Body-Focused Repetitive Behaviors (BFRBs) can emerge at any age, leading to feelings of distress and shame. At Oceanside Psychotherapy, Gina creates a safe and non-judgmental environment that encourages her clients to explore their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors through curiosity, mindfulness, and self-compassion. She believes in fostering strong alliances with her clients, working collaboratively to overcome compulsive behaviors and reclaim a meaningful life. With expertise in treating conditions such as trichotillomania (hair pulling) and excoriation disorder (skin picking), she tailors treatment plans to fit each individual's unique needs. Utilizing evidence-based, culturally-sensitive practices and possessing advanced training in Exposure Response Prevention (ERP) and Habit Reversal Training (HRT), Gina is committed to guiding her clients on their therapeutic journey. While starting or altering therapeutic approaches can feel daunting, Gina’s supportive methods make the process manageable, especially compared to living with the overwhelming symptoms of OCD and BFRBs. She looks forward to forming meaningful connections and assisting her clients in finding paths toward healing and resilience.
