What we treat
OCD treatment
OCD is not about being neat. It is intrusive, upsetting thoughts that will not leave, and repetitive patterns, seen or unseen, that bring a few minutes of relief before the cycle starts again.
We treat OCD in adults, teens, and children from age 6.
Intrusive thoughts and repetitive patterns
Intrusive thoughts are the heart of OCD. They show up uninvited, feel upsetting or out of character, and are hard to shake no matter how much you try.
Repetitive patterns are what a person does to ease that distress, like checking, repeating, asking for reassurance, or going over things in their head. Much of OCD is hidden, so it can look fine from the outside.
The reassurance trap
Asking "are you sure I didn't do that?" is a compulsion. The answer helps briefly, then the doubt comes back stronger. Part of treatment is helping family step back without abandoning the person.
How OCD is treated
OCD treatment works best with two parts working together: medication and a therapy called exposure and response prevention (ERP).
We handle the medication side: choosing, adjusting, and following up over time. It often takes two to three months to see the full effect. For ERP, we connect you with a trusted therapist and coordinate with them, so both parts of your plan stay on the same page.
