and hundreds of other insurance plans accepted
Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) is more than just needing things to be “perfect” or tidy - it’s a cycle of obsessions and compulsions that disrupt daily life. Obsessions or compulsions in people with OCD can look different from person-to-person, but the pattern of thoughts or rituals is present in all cases. OCD is a serious, distressing mental illness that goes beyond simply being clean or organized.
OCD counseling can provide you with a safe space to understand and work through your challenges. Your therapist will help you to explore the roots of your obsessions and/or compulsions. Your therapist may also use a variety of therapeutic modalities such as cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) and exposure and response prevention (ERP). CBT can help identify negative thought patterns and behaviors and replace them with more positive ones. ERP can help you confront your fears by gradually exposing yourself to them to help you work through difficult emotions associated with the fearful situation.
Through OCD counseling, you can have a safe space to navigate intrusive thoughts and compulsive behaviors. Benefits of OCD counseling include:
