OCD Therapy (ERP, ACT, CBT)

Serving New York, New Jersey, and Connecticut

Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) is characterized by intrusive, unwanted thoughts, images, or urges (obsessions) and repetitive behaviors or mental rituals (compulsions) aimed at reducing distress. OCD can affect children, adolescents, and adults and may interfere with school, work, relationships, and daily routines.

I provide specialized OCD treatment using evidence-based therapies shown to reduce symptoms and improve long-term functioning. Treatment is structured, collaborative, and focused on reducing avoidance and compulsive behaviors.

Evidence-Based OCD Treatment

  • Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP): The gold-standard treatment for OCD, helping individuals face feared thoughts or situations without engaging in compulsions.

  • Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT): Supports a different relationship with intrusive thoughts while increasing psychological flexibility.

  • Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT): Addresses thought patterns that reinforce obsessive thinking and compulsive behavior.

OCD therapy is available for children, adolescents, emerging adults, and adults in NY, NJ, and CT through telehealth and in-person sessions where appropriate.
