Why it's so important to call now.
Our therapists are trained in both ERP and EMDR therapies. Research shows that ERP and EMDR can both effectively treat patients with OCD.
​
Exposure Response Prevention (ERP) therapy helps you face triggers and manage obsessions without engaging in compulsions. It works to break the automatic connection between the obsessive thoughts and compulsive behaviors. It can also help by training you to avoid ritualized behaviors when you are feeling anxious.
​
Eye-Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) therapy can help reduce the symptoms and frequency of OCD, including compulsions, anxiety, and depression. EMDR is thought to work by helping to process and understand the trauma that may have led to OCD. It can also help to identify and challenge negative, distorted, and irrational thoughts that contribute to OCD, and make compulsive symptoms more manageable.
