OCD Has Taken Over Your Life

You’re feeling panicky and overwhelmed with anxiety. Nothing you’re doing is bringing the relief you’re hoping for. You’re having weird thoughts that you don’t want- thoughts that might be scary, disgusting, or embarrassing to talk about. You’re spending way too much time researching online, asking other people what they think, and generally overthinking everything.  You don’t know how to get rid of these sticky thoughts and you’re willing to do anything.

What Our Clients Can Expect From Us

Our experienced therapists use treatments targeted specifically at OCD to ensure that treatment actually works so you can get unstuck from OCD as quickly as possible. 

We’ll work together with you to create a step-by-step treatment plan to help you reach your goals. You’ll learn practical strategies to get control back from OCD so you can find moments of peace again.

We use both exposure and response prevention (ERP) therapy and Inference-Based CBT (ICBT) to work with OCD symptoms.

While ERP has decades of research to support it ICBT also has a place in our treatment plans.

Exposure and Response Prevention Therapy 

ERP is designed to help you confront things that you’re afraid of giving yourself a chance to learn that anxiety is temporary and the thing you’re most afraid of is unlikely to happen. 

With exposure therapy, you’re always in the driver’s seat. We’re right there with you on the passenger side, giving directions, encouragement, and sometimes pushing you out of your comfort zone but you control the speed and the destination. If you’d like to learn more, read our guide on ERP therapy for OCD. 

Inference-Based Cognitive Behavioral Therapy

ICBT is an alternative to ERP. ICBT is a cognitive therapy based on the idea that people with OCD use faulty reasoning devices, which leads them to confuse what’s possible with what’s likely. 

ICBT does not include any exposure. Instead, it focuses on first helping you understand how and why you made the inference you did. It then helps you change your perspective so that your doubts no longer seem important or urgent.

Looking for more support? Our ICBT for OCD Online Group Program is enrolling for January 2025. 

Part online course, part group therapy, part supportive community, our program is designed to connect you with others and guide you through the skills ICBT has to offer.
