Preference for order and structure, repetitive thoughts and behaviors, rules, rituals, and rigidity are just a few of the symptoms that make getting up in the morning hard when you have obsessive-compulsive traits. With a combination of exposure hierarchies and Radically Open flexible mind principles, we can help you break free of the OCD trap.

Licensed Professional Counselor, Licensed Mental Health Counselor, Psychotherapist
An estimated 5 million Americans suffer from obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) and live diminished lives in which they are compelled to obsess about something or to repeat a similar task over and over. Traditionally, OCD has been treated with Prozac or similar drugs. The problem with medication, aside from its cost, is that 30 percent of people treated don’t respond to it, and when the pills stop, the symptoms invariably return. We will work towards changing your brain chemistry through behavior modification to develop new patterns of response to your obsessions.

Being restricted by intense worries about oneself and others can lead people into rigid routines that function to alleviate the intensity of their inner tensions, if only for a short time. People who are unable to break out from these patterns can become self-critical and lose a sense of hope that can be debilitating. It is important to remind ourselves in these instances that things can improve and that sometimes it may only take the effort to reach out for help.
