Therapy for OCD
Obsessive-compulsive disorder is a mental health condition that affects millions of people around the world.
OCD is characterized by intrusive thoughts and repetitive behaviors that often interfere with daily life. OCD can be extremely distressing and overwhelming, leading many people to suffer in silence.
However, therapy is highly effective in managing OCD & helping you get long-term recovery.
Therapy is not about feeling better after each session, but about making progress towards your goals. It's like a mental workout that requires perseverance and commitment.
OCD Therapy helps you change the story around your intrusive fears, challenge the tricks your brain is playing on you, and learn to trust yourself again.
It also provides a safe and supportive space for you to explore your thoughts and feelings, gain insight into where your thoughts are coming from, and developing strategies for managing stress and anxiety.
One common myth about therapy is that people should be able to handle their struggles on their own without seeking professional help. However, therapy is a valuable resource that can provide you with the tools, guidance, and effective support you need to make positive life changes.

Did you know that women are more likely than men to seek mental health treatment, but only 35 to 40% of OCD sufferers receive therapy?
Therapy should not be seen as a last resort, but rather as a first step in improving mental health. Therapy is a collaborative process tailored to you, and the goal is to empower you to become independent with a more fulfilling life.
Overcoming OCD typically requires professional intervention. It is a misconception that therapy will make things worse or force you to do things they are not comfortable with. Therapy aims to do no harm and is designed to respect your readiness.
Do you also worry about being dependent on your therapist? The type of therapy that I offer aims to help you graduate from therapy and live your life independently.
