What is OCD?
Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder, or OCD, isn’t about being organized or particular. It often shows up as unwanted thoughts, constant doubt, overthinking, or the urge to check, research, repeat, or seek reassurance just to feel certain or at ease.
What often follows is a familiar pattern: spike in anxiety → compulsion or ritual → temporary relief → return of doubt or urgency. Over time, this can start to shape how you move through your day, how much space your mind has, and how much energy it takes just to get through basic tasks.
What are OCD Related Disorders?
Skin-picking, hair-pulling, and hoarding often develop as ways to cope with overwhelming anxiety, distress, or discomfort. While these behaviors may provide temporary relief, they can quickly become difficult to control and create shame, isolation, or disruption in daily life.
How Can Therapy Help Me With My OCD?
Therapy for OCD focuses on building tolerance for discomfort, reducing compulsive patterns, and creating more space between the urge and what you do next.
Weekly Therapy for OCD
Traditional weekly sessions offer steady support while you work on recognizing patterns and build tools to respond differently. Over time, the cycle loosens, and there’s more space for choice, calm, and control.
Extended Sessions for OCD
While traditional therapy builds steady insight and skills over time, extended sessions help you work more directly with OCD cycles—interrupting patterns like intrusive thoughts, checking, reassurance-seeking, skin picking, or hair pulling in real time. The result is faster momentum, clearer shifts, and more flexibility in how you respond between sessions.
Weekly + Extended Sessions Together
Extended sessions complement traditional therapy by creating focused time to extend the work you’ve accomplished in weekly sessions. If you’re already seeing a therapist for weekly support but want to enhance your progress with an extended session, I can provide consultation services with your current therapist upon request.
