Dr. Jackie Kantor
Licensed Psychologist
OCD, Trauma & Perinatal Mental Health
•
Adults, Parents, LGBTQI+
The thoughts don’t stop just because life is supposed to be beautiful right now. Whether it’s postpartum OCD, intrusive thoughts you can’t say out loud, trauma you’ve been managing instead of actually processing, or anxiety that follows you no matter what you do — Dr. Kantor specializes in helping people stop white-knuckling through their inner experience and start genuinely changing it. She’s direct, a little irreverent, and serious about one goal above all: making herself obsolete.
The VPG Difference

Who Dr. Kantor Works With
Adults
Dr. Kantor works with adults navigating OCD, anxiety, trauma, grief, and the compounding stress of high-pressure careers. Many of her clients are high achievers — lawyers, engineers, and healthcare professionals — who hold themselves to a standard most people couldn’t sustain and are ready for an approach that actually shifts something.
Perinatal & New Parents
She has a dedicated specialty in perinatal mental health, supporting expecting and new parents of all genders through perinatal OCD, postpartum anxiety, the identity shifts that come with having a child, and the thoughts that show up in the middle of the night that feel impossible to say out loud.
LGBTQI+ Clients
Dr. Kantor is especially passionate about supporting LGBTQI+ individuals, bringing an affirming, identity-aware lens to OCD, anxiety, and trauma work.
Dr. Kantor's Approach
Dr. Kantor’s goal in every case is to make herself obsolete. She builds trust quickly and uses that foundation to help clients build genuine competency — the ability to handle hard things on their own — not just better coping strategies. She draws on an array of evidence-based approaches and adapts based on what each client actually needs in the room. When life throws something unexpected into a session — a hard week, a significant loss, or a relationship rupture — she works with it rather than around it. Her style is direct and flexible, and she treats humor as a real clinical tool: the hard stuff doesn’t have to feel unbearable to be worth doing.
