ocd therapy

If you’re a millennial or Gen Z woman who realized in adulthood that you might have OCD, you know what it’s like to live in a mind that never stops scanning for danger. Intrusive thoughts. The need for things to feel “just right.” Endless second-guessing and checking just to feel certain. Fears you did something wrong and forgot, relationship doubts that won’t settle, or health worries that don’t quiet no matter how much you Google.

You keep most of it to yourself because it sounds irrational out loud, but it feels so real. Reassurance brings relief, but only briefly. The doubt always returns. The mental loops don’t cease.

You might wonder, “Is this really OCD?” or you may have been told it's something else, like anxiety, perfectionism, or a personality quirk. OCD is notoriously under-diagnosed or misidentified, especially in women. Through Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP), we work together to reduce compulsive patterns and build tolerance for uncertainty.
