Michayla Yost, Ph.D., is a Postdoctoral Psychology Resident who provides therapy and psychological testing for children, adolescents, and adults. She specializes in OCD and anxiety disorders, with a particular focus on helping clients understand and break free from cycles of intrusive thoughts, anxiety, and compulsive behaviors, including perinatal and postpartum anxiety and OCD.

Michayla uses evidence-based approaches including Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). Her approach is warm, collaborative, and tailored to each individual. She strives to create a space where clients feel genuinely understood and supported as they learn to step out of OCD and anxiety cycles and move toward a life that feels more meaningful and fulfilling. She also supports clients navigating depression, grief, trauma, and other anxiety-related concerns.

In addition to therapy, Michayla conducts psychological evaluations and is trained in the ADOS-2 for diagnosing Autism Spectrum Disorder. She conducts autism evaluations, ADHD assessments, and intelligence and achievement testing.
