We offer specialized, evidence-based therapy for people living with obsessive-compulsive disorder, including complex and lesser-known symptom presentations.
Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) is often misunderstood. Popular portrayals may focus on neatness, handwashing, or quirky habits, but OCD goes far deeper. It’s a serious, life-disrupting condition marked by persistent, unwanted thoughts (obsessions) and repetitive behaviors or mental acts (compulsions) aimed at reducing distress. For many people, these cycles of anxiety and relief can take up hours each day, leaving little room for peace, connection, or joy.
OCD can affect every aspect of your life—relationships, work, school, even basic daily routines. It’s more than just being particular or having high standards. For many, it feels like being trapped in your own mind, constantly trying to “undo” a thought, neutralize a fear, or get a feeling “just right.”
OCD can show up in different forms, including:
These symptoms often shift over time. Many people experience distressing mental compulsions, like reassurance-seeking, avoidance, or mental review. Without effective treatment, OCD can worsen, and research shows it is one of the most disabling mental health conditions worldwide.
At the Behavioral Wellness Clinic, we take OCD seriously because we understand how serious it really is. Our therapy services include:
OCD is frequently missed or misdiagnosed—even by mental health professionals. The diversity of symptoms means that people with OCD are often miscategorized as having generalized anxiety, panic disorder, or even psychosis.
At the Behavioral Wellness Clinic, our team understands the full range of OCD symptom dimensions and how to distinguish them from other conditions. We recognize the patterns in sexual orientation OCD (SO-OCD), religious scrupulosity, harm obsessions, and the quiet but devastating world of covert compulsions. Whether your symptoms are outwardly visible or entirely mental, we approach them with clarity, precision, and respect.
What makes the Behavioral Wellness Clinic different is our deep understanding of the disorder and our commitment to treating you as a whole person, not just a checklist of symptoms.
You won’t have to explain that your thoughts are unwanted or distressing—we already understand that. You won’t be met with judgment or fear—we’re trained to respond with skill and compassion. You won’t be told to “just stop thinking that way”—we’ll work with you to build effective tools to navigate it, using research-backed approaches that actually work.
You don’t have to live at the mercy of your thoughts. OCD is treatable, and recovery is possible. When you’re ready to begin, we’re here to guide you forward.
