Carole Goguen
Psychologist, PsyD, Night Owl Psychotherapy
Together we will identify unhelpful beliefs and thought patterns that drive their obsessions and compulsions. You will GRADUALLY be exposed to the situations or objects that trigger your obsessions, while at the same time, learning to resist the urge to perform compulsions. This process will help you to confront your fears and learn that the feared consequences don't occur.

Obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) is one of the more common mental illnesses of teens, with a prevalence of 1% to 3% according to the US National Library of Medicine. OCD consists of both obsessions, thoughts that won’t go away and compulsions, or behaviors that your teen does in order to prevent something bad from happening.
The media portrays OCD as being neat and clean, however that is not typically the presenting symptom in most teens with OCD.
It is more common for a teen with OCD to obsessively worry that something bad is going to happen and then do something they think will prevent the bad thing from happening. Ex. Are repeating numbers in a pattern, praying excessively, tapping fingers, re-reading assignments over and over, spending excessive time on homework due to rewriting or making it perfect, having to have things are certain way that doesn’t always make sense to their parents.
