Dr. Alyssa Hertz is a licensed psychologist specializing in eating disorders, OCD, anxiety-related disorders, and phobias. She primarily works with adults in eating disorder recovery, as well as children, adolescents, and adults with OCD and anxiety, and parents supporting a child through OCD or anxiety.

Knowing that support starts with understanding, Dr. Hertz's goal is to help you feel understood first so she can support you in facing what feels hardest at a pace that actually builds confidence instead of leading to overwhelm. Clients often say there's more humor in the room than they expected going in, and that she goes above and beyond.

Watching her mom and sister, both nurses, come home with stories about the patients they'd helped inspired Dr. Hertz from a young age, and a psychology course in college made clear where her career would take her. Her natural desire to help and support others shows up just as much at home, where she's kept busy by her husband, her daughter, and their energetic husky. A big Philadelphia Eagles fan, she unwinds by cheering on her team, reading, trying new coffee shops, or training for a race.
