OCD Disorder

Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) is a mental health condition characterized by intrusive thoughts (obsessions) and repetitive behaviors (compulsions) aimed at reducing anxiety or preventing perceived harm. OCD can significantly impact daily life and overall well-being. Seeking help and understanding the available treatment options is crucial.

Effective treatment for OCD often involves a combination of therapy, medication, and self-help strategies. In therapy, we will work together to understand the underlying causes of your OCD and develop effective strategies to manage intrusive thoughts and compulsive behaviors. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is an evidence-based approach that is highly effective in treating OCD. Through CBT, we will focus on challenging and restructuring your thoughts, gradually exposing you to anxiety-provoking situations, and helping you resist the urge to engage in compulsions. This process, known as Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP), empowers you to confront your fears and develop healthier coping mechanisms.
