Freedom from OCD
Compassionate and Effective OCD Treatment for Kids, Teens and Adults
Struggling with OCD, or watching your child or teen struggle with OCD, can be devastating.
Our clients with OCD come to us feeling totally depleted, like OCD is swallowing up their whole life.
They question what is OCD, and what are my own thoughts? It becomes difficult to tell the difference, which can be scary.
Our clients with OCD reach out for therapy because they are having trouble sleeping, they are so tired of having intrusive thoughts, and having to constantly check, and complete rituals.
OCD is sometimes draining them to the point where it is interfering with work or school, relationships, and their own peace of mind.
They understandably want relief!
How can I get relief from OCD? Our Approach
- Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) Therapy: Research has shown that this is the gold standard treatment for OCD. It involves your therapist guiding you to gradually stand up to OCD, and not doing what it tells you to do.
- Stress management and coping strategies
- Support for co-occurring conditions like anxiety and depression
- For our younger clients: Parent coaching to reinforce progress at home
- Mindfulness & Cognitive Behavioral Therapy techniques to help talk back to the intrusive thoughts
We tailor the treatment to fit our client and make it appropriate for each age group.
We know that OCD shows up in many different ways, including religious themes, it can be focused on germs, illness, checking, a fear of harming others, and/or relationship themes (e.g., intrusive doubts about relationship compatibility). We can help with all these different subtypes of OCD.
