You don’t have to face OCD alone.
OCD is devastating. It’s also highly treatable with exposure and response prevention therapy tailored to your unique experiences and goals.
Exposure & Response Prevention (ERP) Therapy
Traditional talk therapy helps patients gain insight into challenges and can be very beneficial for some people. However, it’s rarely effective in treating OCD.
ERP is a specialized form of therapy used to support those struggling with OCD and it’s the most well-researched treatment for the disorder.
Experiences
Before starting treatment, we’ll discuss in-depth how OCD shows up for you, beginning with your intrusive thoughts.
Core Fears
Exploring the fears at the heart of your thoughts and behaviors is critical to long-term success.
New Skills
Our primary goal during exposure therapy is to learn that you can engage in life despite intrusive thoughts and anxious feelings.
Virtual or in-office services.
1-3X/week virtual or in-office
Before treatment begins, we’ll explore how OCD affects you—starting with your intrusive thoughts—then identify the core fears driving them. Through exposure therapy, you’ll develop skills to engage fully in life, even with intrusive thoughts and anxiety present.
