Treatment for OCD
For when you need to get well and stay well.
Exposure and Response Prevention
Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) is widely recognized as the gold standard treatment for Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD). ERP is a specialized form of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy that directly targets the obsessions and compulsions that characterize OCD. It involves gradually exposing individuals to situations, thoughts, or stimuli that trigger their obsessive fears while guiding them to refrain from engaging in their usual compulsive responses.
Through this systematic and controlled approach, individuals learn to tolerate the discomfort caused by their obsessions, break the cycle of compulsion, and reduce the intensity of their anxiety over time. The process is highly effective in helping individuals regain control over their lives.
We recommend twice-weekly sessions for 12 to 14 weeks, with each session lasting 50 minutes.
