You’re ready to make a change. Relief from OCD is within reach.

We want you to know that change is possible, and many individuals with OCD have benefited from the evidence-based therapy that we provide. Using proven techniques, we will work together to alleviate your OCD symptoms.

Here’s what we’ll do together.

Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) is a front line therapy with decades of research backing its use for the treatment of OCD.

The central idea behind ERP is to gradually expose yourself to things that trigger your obsessive thoughts (unwanted and distressing intrusive thoughts) and anxiety, while resisting the need to engage in compulsive behaviors that typically follow (response prevention). Doing so will allow you to break the cycle of OCD, and give you an opportunity to learn new and more effective ways of coping. Over time, with repeated exposure practice, you can experience reduced anxiety. The same obsessive thoughts that once controlled many aspects of your life, telling you what you could and could not do, are no longer in control. When you master the skills of ERP and apply them in your daily life, you make the decisions, not your obsessive thoughts or anxiety, resulting in an ability to live life the way you want. 

If the idea of exposure sounds overwhelming at first glance, you are not alone, this is a very common response. This makes perfect sense, as it may feel like your compulsions are the only thing that have kept the worst from happening over the years. It is a major ask for you to try something different, as you will in ERP. However, you can feel confident in your decision to pursue ERP with us. Decades of research shows that ERP helps individuals like you recover from OCD. We personalize ERP to your specific needs, and your unique pattern of obsessions and compulsions, so you can be rest assured that you will get the most out of your experience in therapy. We are excited to work with you and support you along the way to finding relief from your OCD.

  • Your days are no longer ruled by the cycle of obsessions and compulsions.
