OCD
Josh Murray- Hopeful Minds
Psychologist, MA, LLP
Obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) is a condition in which you have frequent unwanted thoughts and sensations (obsessions) that cause you to perform repetitive behaviors (compulsions). The repetitive behaviors can significantly interfere with social interactions and performing daily tasks.
OCD is usually a life-long (chronic) condition, but symptoms can come and go over time.
Everyone experiences obsessions and compulsions at some point. For example, it’s common to occasionally double-check the stove or the locks. People also often use the phrases “obsessing” and “obsessed” very casually in everyday conversations. But OCD is more extreme. It can take up hours of a person’s day. It gets in the way of normal life and activities. Obsessions in OCD are unwanted, and people with OCD don’t enjoy performing compulsive behaviors.
The most common treatment plan for OCD involves psychotherapy (talk therapy) and medication.
If this treatment doesn’t help your OCD symptoms and your symptoms are severe, your provider may recommend transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS).

Catherine Bitney

I have a passion for helping clients reduce OCD - a disorder that is very time consuming and debilitating. This kind of work is so very difficult, but for those that can make it into therapy and take advantage of exposure and response prevention, the results are astounding.

OCD
Logan Smlth
Psychologist, PhD
Obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) involves unwanted and repetitive thoughts or feelings (obsessions) and repetitive behaviors (compulsions). Sometimes your compulsions can be physical actions (like checking a lock, or washing your hands, touching something, etc.) or mental actions (like mentally backtracking your steps, planning everything carefully, counting etc.). Sometimes people with OCD feel “out of control” or incredibly distressed if they don’t do a compulsion in response to an obsession. OCD can feel more intense during periods of stress, and is often accompanied with depression symptoms or other forms of anxiety.
Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) is the therapy I typically use in the treatment of OCD; it can also be helpful for certain phobias. This therapy will involve careful, preplanned, gradual exposures to the focus of OCD, while helping you learn how to stop yourself from acting on your compulsion. Clients experiencing OCD are often doubtful of their ability to control their compulsions, but find ERP to be surprisingly effective. An ERP treatment course usually involves weekly, one-hour appointments for as long as they seem appropriate, at which point I usually decrease the frequency of appointments gradually (moving to once every two weeks, once every three weeks, etc.). Some clients benefit from meeting more often than once per week, which is something we can discuss if it seems appropriate.
