OCD
Dr. Millie C. Astin
Psychologist, Ph.D.
OCD can manifest in so many different ways. Obsessive thoughts are overwhelming. Compulsive rituals bring temporary relief, but obsessions eventually return resulting in more rituals. It can be a devastating cycle and often leads to difficulty in living a productive life. The gold standard for OCD treatment (sometimes in combination with medication) is Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP). ERP helps you face your obsessions and eliminate compulsive rituals.

OCD
Middle Path Wellness Collective
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, LMSW, LPC, PLPC
We specialize in supporting clients living with obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), including intrusive thoughts, compulsive behaviors, mental rituals, and the persistent anxiety that accompanies them. Many clients with OCD feel trapped in cycles of doubt, fear, and urgency, often recognizing that their thoughts or behaviors don’t make logical sense but still feeling unable to stop. This can be exhausting, isolating, and deeply distressing. Our approach helps clients understand how OCD operates, reduce shame, and develop tools to respond to intrusive thoughts differently. We focus on helping clients build tolerance for uncertainty, reduce the power of compulsions, and regain a sense of freedom, control, and confidence in their daily lives.
