Therapy for OCD
Make the intrusive thoughts less…intrusive.
When the cycle of OCD starts, you start to shrink.
Thought. Another thought. Ritual. Relief. But then it comes right back, this time with more power over your brain.
You find yourself asking questions, like:
What if I’m not a good person and I snap and go crazy and hurt someone?
What if I don’t love my partner enough?
What if I’m bad and I make this decision and it’s not right and mess up my life?
But these aren’t fleeting questions. They take over everything, making it impossible to live in the present, take action, or feel in control of your mind.
Is this just how things are now? You staying stuck in your head and exhausted from the constant chatter that you know is the OCD talking?
Not at all. OCD waxes and wanes. It also gets stronger with time without treatment. But it’s very treatable.
OCD Therapy
Personalized, evidence-backed therapy rooted in exposure and response prevention (ERP) therapy to break free from the hold that obsessive thoughts and compulsive behaviors have on your daily life.
OCD knows how to cling. From intrusive thoughts that feel like a direct attack on who you are to rituals that affect how you live your life. You’re living in a thought tornado instead of in the present moment.
Through OCD-specific treatment, we can turn down the volume on these thought loops so you are more confident in your decisions, strengthen your relationships, and get real relief from a disorder that wants you stuck.
A note from Michelle
OCD is a disorder that feels like quicksand.
One thought turns into 10. One behavior reinforces the original brain-manufactured plot line.
And it’s tough because it’s such a misunderstood disorder. People think it’s all about cleaning a lot or needing symmetry in your life. And sure, for some, those are parts of it. But the truth about OCD is it can infiltrate all areas of your life. How you view yourself. Relationships. Your confidence.
The bright side. OCD is very treatable.
It doesn’t feel that way when you’re trapped in this endless loop, but the path to a full, self-confident life is possible through ERP therapy.
We will look at your particular thought loops and how you react to them, then rewire those pathways so it doesn’t feel like you’re living on autopilot with OCD steering the ship.
Create a life that isn’t bound by mental loops.
Make it so fear isn’t running the show.
Feel like you’re in control of your thoughts.
Trust yourself and the experiences you have.
OCD might be making decisions for you right now.
But you can retrain the way your brain handles the intrusive thoughts.
So they don’t dictate how you spend your time.
