Lee Solomon

Licensed Mental Health Therapist- OCD Specialist

Lee Solomon is an OCD specialist, therapist, educator, and founder of Solomon Psychiatrics whose mission is helping people reclaim their lives from fear.
Born and raised in Brooklyn, New York, Lee experienced adversity from an early age, but the struggle that would ultimately shape his life was OCD. Like many people he works with today, he spent years trapped in obsessions, compulsions, anxiety, and the relentless pursuit of certainty. At his lowest point, he became convinced he was losing control of his own mind.

Everything changed when he discovered Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) while studying psychology. Desperate for answers, he stopped running from fear and began facing it. The more willing he became to experience uncertainty without trying to eliminate it, the more freedom he regained. That experience transformed the course of his life and ultimately shaped his career.

Over the past eight years as a therapist and more than six years specializing in OCD treatment, Lee has helped individuals from around the world break free from OCD using ERP. Through both personal experience and clinical work, he has witnessed the same truth repeatedly: people are not trapped because of what they think. They are trapped because of what fear has taught them to do.

Today, Lee's work is guided by a simple belief: while we cannot always control what we think or feel, we can control how we respond. And when behavior changes, lives change. Through therapy, education, writing, and advocacy, he has dedicated his life to helping people break free from OCD and discover that recovery is possible.

Because recovery does not begin when fear disappears. It begins when we stop running from it.
