OCD
Amazing Grace Psychiatric Services, PLLC
Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner, PMHNP, CNM, PMH-C
Intrusive thoughts are unwelcomed in our brain as much as an intruder is unwelcomed in our home. These thoughts increase anxiety to the point where a compulsive behavior develops in attempt to alleviate the anxiety. This relief is short-lived, however, and the cycle starts all over again. This is exhausting for the individual, and often is very misunderstood by those around them. Let's put an end to this cycle by discovering the source of what's causing it, and find the right therapeutic solution for you!

Kristee Barker
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW-S
I use a blend of ERP, DBT, and IFS to treat OCD. OCD is a cycle of intrusive thoughts, fear, and compulsions that can take over your life. I help you break that cycle with evidence‑based exposure work, practical skills for managing anxiety and urges, and deeper parts‑based healing to address the internal conflicts that keep OCD running. My approach is steady, compassionate, and direct. Together, we’ll build your ability to tolerate uncertainty, reduce compulsions, and reconnect with the parts of you that deserve relief and freedom.

Elisha S Lee
Counselor/Therapist, NCCA CTCC CPC
Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) counseling is a specially designed to help individuals who are struggling with the often debilitating symptoms of OCD. This mental health disorder is characterized by unwanted and intrusive thoughts (obsessions) that lead to repetitive behaviors or mental acts (compulsions). Our counseling services focus on providing varied approaches, such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP), to reduce the occurrence and impact of OCD symptoms, thereby improving daily functioning and quality of life.
Evidence-Based Treatment for OCD
* Tailored CBT Techniques: We utilize Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients identify and challenge the distorted thinking patterns that fuel their obsessions and compulsions.
* Exposure and Response Prevention: ERP involves gradually exposing clients to their feared objects or ideas (exposures) and teaching them to resist the urge to carry out their usual compulsive acts (response prevention).
* Skills Training: Clients are trained in stress management and relaxation techniques to help manage the anxiety that often accompanies OCD.
* Mindfulness and Acceptance: Incorporating elements of mindfulness helps clients learn to accept their obsessive thoughts without acting on them compulsively.
* Family Involvement: We provide support and education for families of individuals with OCD so that they can better understand the disorder and offer the right kind of support to their loved ones.

* Reduce OCD Symptoms: Aim to significantly decrease the frequency and severity of obsessions and compulsions.
* Increase Functionality: Help clients regain control over their lives and engage more fully with work, school, and social activities.

* Improve Quality of Life: Focus on improving overall well-being, satisfaction, and happiness in life beyond OCD symptoms.
* Prevent Relapse: Provide clients with the knowledge and skills to maintain their progress and prevent the recurrence of severe OCD symptoms.

Tracey Knows
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC
Living with OCD can feel exhausting, with intrusive thoughts, compulsions, and fear-driven behaviors taking over daily life. I help individuals learn how to embrace and accept their tendencies rather than fight against them, reducing the shame and anxiety that often accompany OCD. Through Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP), mindfulness, and cognitive techniques, I guide clients in disrupting irrational fears and thought spirals while building resilience against intrusive thoughts. My approach also focuses on calming the nervous system, reducing panic attacks, and fostering a greater sense of self-trust and emotional regulation.
