What is OCD?
OCD is a mental health condition involving persistent, intrusive thoughts (obsessions) and repetitive behaviors or mental acts (compulsions) performed to relieve distress. It is not simply about being neat or organized; it is a cycle that can take up significant time and cause real distress.
How do I know if I have OCD?
Many people have occasional intrusive thoughts. With OCD, those thoughts feel persistent and distressing, and the urge to neutralize them through rituals, checking, or reassurance-seeking begins to interfere with daily life. A consultation can help you understand what you are experiencing.
What happens in therapy?
We start by understanding your specific obsessions and compulsions and the patterns that keep them going. From there, we use evidence-based approaches to help you gradually face fears without relying on rituals, building your tolerance for uncertainty at a pace that feels manageable.
How long does OCD therapy take?
This varies from person to person depending on symptom severity and goals. Many people notice meaningful change within a few months of consistent work, and your therapist will regularly review progress with you.
Do you accept insurance?
We are an out-of-network provider. Superbills can be provided upon request for possible reimbursement from your insurance. We are happy to suggest questions to ask your carrier about out-of-network coverage.
What if I've tried therapy before?
Many of our clients have tried therapy that did not specifically target OCD. OCD often responds best to specialized approaches like ERP, which differ from general talk therapy. It is worth discussing what has and has not worked for you.
Can OCD therapy help other areas of my life?
Often, yes. The skills you build, tolerating uncertainty, relating differently to anxious thoughts, and acting on your values, tend to help with relationships, work stress, and overall confidence.
How much does therapy cost?
Rates vary by therapist and session type. You can find current rates on our FAQ page, and we offer a limited sliding scale for those who need it.
