We provide comprehensive psychiatric care to better understand how OCD impacts your life and to guide you toward effective treatment. Care may include therapy, medication, or a combination of both to help you break the cycle of obsessions and compulsions and find long-term relief. 

Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) is a mental health condition that involves intrusive, unwanted thoughts (obsessions) and repetitive behaviors or mental rituals (compulsions) that are performed to reduce distress. While these behaviors can provide brief relief, they often make symptoms worse over time.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are the signs that OCD treatment may be right for me?

If you find yourself experiencing unwanted, repetitive thoughts (obsessions) or feeling driven to perform behaviors or rituals to reduce distress, OCD treatment may be helpful. Treatment is also recommended if these patterns are interfering with your relationships, work, or daily activities. A provider can help clarify whether these symptoms fit an OCD diagnosis and recommend the best path forward.

Can OCD be managed with medication alone?

Medication can help reduce intrusive thoughts and compulsive urges, but it’s often most effective when combined with therapy. Evidence-based approaches, such as exposure and response prevention (ERP), can provide skills to manage symptoms long-term. Your provider will work with you to determine the right combination of treatment options for your needs.

How long does OCD treatment usually take?

The timeline looks different for everyone. Some individuals notice improvement within a few months, while others benefit from longer-term care. The goal is steady progress, reducing the intensity and frequency of symptoms while building healthier coping strategies. Your provider will adjust the plan as needed to support sustainable results.
