What is OCD?

Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) is a mental health condition characterized by:

  • Obsessions: intrusive, unwanted thoughts, urges, or mental images

  • Compulsions: repetitive behaviors or mental rituals performed to reduce anxiety

OCD is not a personality flaw or lack of willpower, it is a neurobiological anxiety disorder that responds well to specialized treatment.

Common OCD themes include:

Fear of contamination or illness

Harm or “what if” thoughts

Relationship OCD (ROCD)

Scrupulosity or religious OCD

Perfectionism and symmetry

Checking, reassurance-seeking, or mental reviewing

Evidence-Based Treatment Models

We specialize in treating OCD using evidence-based, gold-standard approaches, including:

  • ERP is the most researched and effective treatment for OCD. It involves gradually facing feared thoughts or situations while learning to resist compulsions, helping your brain relearn that anxiety naturally decreases on its own.

  • ACT helps you respond to intrusive thoughts with openness and flexibility rather than fear. Instead of fighting your thoughts, you learn to focus on living a meaningful life alongside them.

  • Many people with OCD feel shame or fear being misunderstood. We provide a nonjudgmental, supportive space where you don’t have to censor your thoughts to be accepted.

Treatment is always personalized to your specific OCD subtype, values, and goals.

DO I NEED SPECIALIZED OCD THERAPY?

If you’ve tried traditional talk therapy and felt stuck, you’re not alone. OCD often requires specialized treatment as general anxiety therapy may unintentionally reinforce compulsions or reassurance-seeking.

You may benefit from OCD therapy if you:

  • Spend significant time managing intrusive thoughts or rituals

  • Avoid situations, people, or responsibilities due to anxiety

  • Constantly seek reassurance from others or yourself

  • Feel trapped in cycles of doubt, fear, or “what if” thinking

  • Know your fears are irrational—but still feel compelled to respond

HOW OCD THERAPY CAN HELP:

Effective OCD therapy doesn’t aim to eliminate thoughts, it helps you change your relationship with them. Through therapy, you can learn how to:

  • Reduce compulsive behaviors and mental rituals

  • Tolerate uncertainty and anxiety more effectively

  • Break the OCD cycle of fear and reassurance

  • Respond to intrusive thoughts without judgment or panic

  • Rebuild trust in yourself and your decision-making

With consistent, structured treatment, many clients experience significant relief and long-term improvement.
