In therapy, I first establish that this is a judgment-free zone. I'm a safe person to speak with. Second, I want to make sure you know exactly what OCD is and the best ways to treat it. Third, I'll walk with you as you do exposure response prevention (ERP) exercises to slowly defeat the OCD monster. OCD therapy won't be easy, but you will not be alone. I also focus on treating anxiety, depression, ADHD, PTSD, and trauma.
