Help from an OCD and Exposure Response Prevention Specialist.

Have you thought about attending therapy for your intrusive thoughts, and compulsions, but were worried about getting help and not feeling ashamed about the help? Do you try to calm your intrusive thoughts with rituals around analyzing and figuring out, controlling, or stopping feelings or thoughts, all to try to reach 100% certainty?   It doesn’t have to be that way! Therapy for OCD allows people to explore emotions, behaviors, and thought patterns in private. Working one-on-one with a personal therapist creates opportunities for deep self-discovery and healing, and you’ll be able to target your specific concerns with the help of a specialist who is trained in Exposure and Response Prevention. 

The Therapeutic Relationship

The bond between client and therapist is often central to progress. Exposure Therapy with Responsive Prevention provides a safe, confidential space to explore yourself without judgment. You can go at your own pace, exploring past traumas and/or current challenges one by one. Mental health professionals are bound by ethical and legal obligations to keep your information private, so you don’t have to worry about your therapist spilling your deepest secrets. 

What Exposure and Response Prevention Therapy Can Help With 

The beautiful thing about Exposure therapy is it is heavily researched based with high success rates for those that finish the treatment.  It is a well-studied proven part of cognitive behavioral therapy and is considered the gold standard treatment for specific phobias, panic disorders, social anxiety, obsessive-compulsive disorder and PTSD. Also, you get to go at your own pace. 

Your Brain can learn something Different

Therapists trained in OCD help you see the setup so you can start breaking free.  OCD is not random; it’s sneaky! It has specific tricks to keep you stuck in a loop.  Once you learn what fuels OCD- that it is a liar, like a full-time con artist bullying you all day then you can spot the lies, and it loses the power it has over you.   

Whatever your reason, healing can only begin when you take the first step. Our therapists are ready to walk beside you on this journey to a happier, healthier version of yourself.
