OCD
Annette Popernik
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
OCD is a companion. It accompanies us, even when we don't want it to. Sometimes we have rumination and spiraling thoughts that don't go away. (obsession) and we feel that doing a particular thing or thinking a particular thing over and over (compulsion) will make it better. It's okay to struggle with this cycle. You are not bad or flawed. You struggle with OCD. I am highly experienced in exposure and response prevention therapy to help manage OCD. Let's talk about it.

OCD
Bergen Counseling Collective
Counselor/Therapist, LCPC
The thoughts won't stop. You know they don't make sense, or at least part of you knows, but the anxiety is so intense that you do the ritual anyway. Check again. Wash again. Replay the thought until you're sure, except you're never really sure. People who don't have OCD don't understand how consuming it is, how much mental energy it takes, how exhausting it is to fight your own brain all day. We understand OCD and how to treat it effectively. That means evidence-based approaches, not just talk therapy, that help you break the cycle of obsession and compulsion and reclaim your life from the disorder. Telehealth throughout Illinois. BCBS PPO and Aetna accepted.

OCD
Kathleen Cramer, Ph.D.
Psychologist, Ph.D., PSYPACT member
OCD is an anxiety disorder that includes obsessive thought patterns and/or compulsive behaviors aimed at decreasing anxiety. CBT helps people identify the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors that drive compulsive habits. It also incorporates exposure and response prevention, which gradually helps people face feared situations without engaging in compulsive behaviors. This helps the brain learn that OCD-related anxiety can decrease over time without engaging in repetitive thoughts and/or behaviors.
