Gail Kirk Poust
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
OCD is a bully that takes your values hostage. It finds what you care about most (your loved ones' safety, your goodness, your faith, your relationship) and turns it into unwanted thoughts you can't shake and rituals you can't skip: checking, washing, confessing, mentally reviewing, asking for reassurance one more time. The relief never lasts, and the loop keeps tightening. Here's what I want you to know: intrusive thoughts are not intentions, and being horrified by a thought is proof of your values, not evidence against them. I treat OCD with ERP (Exposure and Response Prevention), the gold-standard approach. It is collaborative, paced, never sprung on you. I also treat postpartum OCD, where intrusive thoughts about your baby leave you terrified and silent. That, too, is treatable, and having the thought is not the same as being a danger. The thoughts have had the last word long enough.

Blue Stoehr, LMFT
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
I integrate Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)—with its gold-standard component Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP)—and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help clients break the cycle of intrusive thoughts, obsessions, and compulsive behaviors. ERP involves gradual, supported exposure to feared triggers while preventing rituals, allowing anxiety to naturally decrease through habituation, while ACT fosters psychological flexibility by teaching acceptance of uncomfortable thoughts and commitment to values-driven actions despite OCD symptoms.
