OCD treatment for intrusive thoughts and compulsions
OCD pairs unwanted, intrusive thoughts with behaviors done to relieve the distress they cause. The relief is real and it is brief, which is what makes the cycle so hard to break alone. Specialized treatment breaks it deliberately, and it works.
Does any of this sound familiar?
These are experiences people often bring to a first appointment. They aren't a checklist and they can't diagnose anyone — only an evaluation with a clinician can do that.
- Intrusive thoughts, images, or urges that feel foreign and unwelcome
- Checking, washing, counting, arranging, or repeating to reduce distress
- Mental rituals — reviewing, reassuring, or praying in a fixed way
- Seeking reassurance from others about the same worry, over and over
- Hours lost to rituals, or real distress when they're interrupted
- Knowing the fear is out of proportion and being unable to act on that knowledge

What care for OCD looks like here
Treatment matched to OCD specifically
OCD responds to particular therapeutic approaches and not to general reassurance — which is why it is often missed, or treated as ordinary anxiety, for years.
Medication management
Medication has a well-established role in OCD, often at different doses than for depression or anxiety. We prescribe and monitor with that in mind.
Patient, paced work
We move at a pace you can sustain. Progress in OCD treatment is measured by what you can do again, not by how fast you got there.
