Therapy for Obsessive Compulsive Disorder
Step out of the cycle of intense doubt and worry.
Is OCD trapping you in a cycle of fear and mental exhaustion?
Maybe one day, a random thought or image caught you off guard - something that felt intrusive or unsettling. And then, instead of fading away, it stuck. It spiraled, growing into something that felt overwhelming and out of your control.
You may have turned to others for reassurance, spent hours researching to make sense of the thought, or engaged in specific rituals just to feel some relief.
You might now avoid situations that trigger those thoughts or fears - like driving, watching the news, or even being alone with your mind. The compulsions might offer a brief sense of comfort, but the thoughts always seem to return.
OCD has a way of making us question ourselves, our intentions, and even our reality.
A different path is possible - one where fear and uncertainty don’t have the final say.

FAQs about OCD Therapy
-
I utilize and evidence based treatment method called Inferenced Based Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (I-CBT).
I-CBT is a specialized approach to treating OCD that focuses on how and why you started believing the intrusive thoughts in the first place. Instead of getting stuck in the content of the thought, I-CBT helps you understand how doubt and fear took over—and teaches you how to break that cycle. It guides you to trust your own experience again, so you can stop seeking certainty and start living more freely.
-
Exposures can be added to I-CBT when it is deemed appropriate and helpful.
-
Definitely not! I-CBT uses a step-by-step process to address intrusive thoughts and complusions, but I know you may need to talk about something else in your life too. We can work through the I-CBT process while also addressing anxiety, relationships, work, and friendships (to name a few).

We will work to identify goals tailored for your treatment, but the overarching goals of OCD therapy are to reduce anxiety and stress, build confidence in yourself and your choices, and break the cycle of compulsions.
