Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD)
Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD)
Do you have thoughts that scare you or make you feel ashamed? Do you wonder why you're having them and what they mean? Does it feel wrong, irresponsible, risky, or even dangerous to ignore the thoughts? You try to solve, figure out, and get rid of the thoughts quickly. You argue with the thoughts, but your mind argues back. You spend so much time keeping busy or distracting yourself and avoiding anyone or anything that triggers the thoughts. You’d give anything for the horrible thoughts, images, and feelings to stop, but no matter what you do they keep coming back. You just want to feel better and live a normal life, the life you had before all of this started. If this sounds like you, I might be a great therapist for you.
I have successfully helped 100’s of clients with OCD using exposure and response prevention (ERP), most of whom have experienced “taboo” or pure obsessional OCD (“Pure O” OCD) including:
Harm OCD
Religious and Moral Scrupulosity
Pedophilia OCD (POCD)
Incest OCD
Bestiality OCD (ZOCD)
Existential OCD
Relationship OCD (ROCD)
Meta OCD
Real event OCD
False memory OCD
Sensorimotor or hyperawareness OCD
I treat all themes of OCD (OCD can be about everything and anything - the limit is your imagination!), and have worked with many clients who believed that their particular theme was untreatable. ERP is effective for all themes of OCD, let me show you how! I know it’s scary to talk about, but I’ve heard it all - I promise I won’t judge you. I know you didn’t ask to be tormented by these thoughts every day. You don’t have to feel hopeless, ashamed, or suffer in silence anymore, let me help you get your life back.
I also treat the following Obsessive-Compulsive Related Disorders (OCRDs):
Body Dysmorphic Disorder (BDD)
Hoarding Disorder
Trichotillomania (Hair-Pulling Disorder)
Excoriation (Skin-Picking) Disorder
Olfactory Reference Syndrome (ORS)
