 What is OCD?

Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder

Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) involves persistent, distressing, and intrusive thoughts (obsessions) that lead to repetitive and ritualistic behaviors (compulsions) aimed at reducing anxiety.

These compulsions provide temporary relief but perpetuate the cycle of anxiety in OCD.

Our evidence-based treatments drastically reduce this cycle and decrease these unhelpful thoughts and behaviors.

 OCD can manifest in a variety of ways  

The following are just a few of the types of OCD we treat at our clinic.*

*These are common OCD themes, however OCD can essentially attach to anything as an obsession and create limitless compulsions. If you are unsure if your symptoms are OCD, we can help you with that.

 Treatment and Management   

While there is no cure for OCD, it can be managed effectively with treatment.

We use a variety of therapy protocols to treat OCD and anxiety disorders. Many are complementary and may be used in tandem.

 Did You Know?

Studies suggest that more than 80% of patients with OCD do not receive the recommended therapy for OCD.
