Therapy for OCD
Break the Cycle. Stop the Rituals. Regain Trust.
OCD Isn’t “Quirky” — It’s Loud, Persistent, and Exhausting
OCD is one of the most misunderstood experiences. It’s not about liking things clean or organized. It’s the endless loop of “what if” thoughts, doubts that feel dangerously real, and the mental or physical rituals that seem like the only way to get relief—until they don’t actually relieve anything at all.
Maybe it looks like:
Checking something over and over, even when you know it’s fine.
Mentally replaying situations to find certainty that never fully comes.
Feeling like you need reassurance just to breathe again.
Trying to get something to feel “just right” and coming up short every time.
Being disturbed by thoughts that feel so real and so not you at the same time.
And the hardest part? Knowing logically that it doesn’t make sense, but feeling emotionally like you can’t risk ignoring it.
That’s the hook of OCD.
Not confusion. Not lack of intelligence.
Just a brain stuck in a false alarm loop that feels way too convincing to ignore.
In therapy, we take an approach that is supportive, direct, and rooted in what actually works.
What Will We Do?
Together, we use:
Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP)
To help your brain learn (through experience, not debate) that you can handle discomfort without doing the compulsive thing your brain insists you need.
Inference-Based CBT (I-CBT)
To understand how OCD creates stories that feel like truth, even when they don’t match your values, logic, or character. You learn to spot the “OCD spin” earlier and trust yourself again.
This work helps you:
Separate you from the OCD voice
Make decisions without chasing certainty
Feel the discomfort without obeying it
Live your life based on who you are, not what OCD warns you about
OCD is loud, convincing, and stubborn.
But it’s not unbeatable, and it doesn’t get to narrate your life forever.
Relief isn’t just possible.
Peace is possible.
A life not dictated by fear or mental rituals is absolutely possible.
You don’t have to keep white-knuckling this alone.
