What is the goal of counseling for OCD?

Living with Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) can feel like your brain is a broken record, constantly replaying the same anxious thought. The goal of counseling isn’t to break the record entirely but to give you a new record player. We work together to help you understand what's driving your obsessions and compulsions, and we’ll give you the tools to stop the loop. We believe you have the power to take control of your thoughts and actions and to live a more peaceful life.

Can a person with OCD be cured with therapy?

OCD isn't a disease that can be "cured" like a common cold, but it can be managed so that it no longer controls your life. Think of it as a chronic condition that you learn to live with and manage. The most effective treatment is a type of therapy called Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP), which helps you confront your fears in a safe way. With the right support and tools, you can reduce the power of your obsessions and live a life that is free from constant fear.

What’s the difference between being a "neat freak" and having OCD?

It’s a common misconception that OCD is just about being a "neat freak," but it's a lot more than that. Being a neat freak is a preference for order and cleanliness. OCD is a diagnosable condition where a person is controlled by intrusive thoughts and fears that lead to compulsive, repetitive behaviors. It's not a choice; it's a deeply distressing and often exhausting condition. We understand this struggle, and we're here to help you get your life back.

How can a counselor help me with my intrusive thoughts?

Intrusive thoughts can feel like an unwanted guest in your brain, constantly whispering fears and doubts. Counseling provides a safe space for you to confront those thoughts and learn new ways of responding to them. We’ll help you understand that a thought is just a thought, and you don’t have to act on it. We believe in your capacity to feel better and to live a life that is not controlled by fear.
