What is OCD?

OCD stands for Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder. It's a mental health condition characterized by intrusive, unwanted thoughts (obsessions) and repetitive behaviors or mental acts (compulsions) that a person feels driven to perform in response to those thoughts.

We are excited to announce we will be offering ERP Intensives beginning in January 2024. Intensives are longer sessions with less frequency than the typical once per week for 50-60 minutes. This allows for deeper work, less time missed at work, more immediate relief from symptoms, and overall may be more cost effective. Intensives can be tailored to your needs. Reach out to us and let us tell you how to get started.
