Obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) is more than being “a neat freak” or liking things organized.
It’s a brain-based condition that creates a cycle of unwanted, intrusive thoughts (obsessions) and repetitive behaviors or mental rituals (compulsions).
For some, these rituals provide brief relief from anxiety, but they often grow over time, taking up more and more of your energy and interfering with work, relationships, and daily life.
The good news? With the right care, OCD symptoms can be managed, and life can feel calmer and more in your control again.
Obsessions may look like fears of contamination, harm, making mistakes, or disturbing intrusive thoughts you don’t want.
Compulsions are the repetitive behaviors or mental rituals done to try to quiet the anxiety — like checking, cleaning, counting, or repeating phrases.
Some people experience obsessions without visible compulsions, spending hours stuck in mental loops. Others may perform physical checks dozens of times a day. Both are forms of OCD.
Medication management - SSRIs and other options that are highly effective in reducing obsessive thoughts and compulsive urges.
Support for co-occurring conditions - Addressing anxiety, depression, or insomnia that often overlap with OCD.
Collaboration with therapists - Working alongside ERP or CBT providers when additional therapy is part of care.
Daily functioning support - Helping you reclaim time and energy lost to obsessions and rituals.
Habits are usually under your control. OCD rituals are driven by anxiety and feel almost impossible to resist, even when you know they don’t make sense.
Yes. Medication management can be handled completely through telehealth, and if you're also in therapy, we can coordinate with your therapist virtually.
No. Intrusive thoughts are a symptom of OCD, not a reflection of who you are or what you want. Many people with OCD feel deep shame about these thoughts, but they are unwanted and do not define your character. Treatment can help reduce their intensity and give you paace of mind.
We wish it listened that easily! OCD has a way of looping thoughts no matter how hard you try. With the right treatment, those loops can finally loosen.
Not always. But for many people, medication makes symptoms more manageable and improves quality of life. We’ll discuss whether it’s right for you.
Some people do achieve remission, but for many, OCD is long-term. The good news is that symptoms can often be greatly reduced with the right treatment plan.
