Dr. Zwecker is completing her postdoctoral fellowship as a behavior therapist at the Houston OCD Program. She received her BA in Human Development from the University of Chicago and her PhD in clinical psychology from Northwestern Feinberg School of Medicine. She has worked with diverse populations in a variety of treatment settings including a community mental health center, a veteran affairs medical center, a student counseling center, and with post-Hurricane Katrina families in New Orleans. Dr. Zwecker completed her predoctoral internship at New York Presbyterian-Weill Cornell Medical Center. During her graduate training she focused on evidence based treatments including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for the treatment of anxiety and depression, Exposure and Response Prevention for the treatment of OCD, Exposure Therapy for the treatment of PTSD, and Transference Focused Psychotherapy for the treatment of personality disorders. With a strong generalist training, she is now looking to specialize in anxiety disorders, particularly OCD, during her fellowship year.
