OCD

Stuck thoughts. Repeated rituals.
There's a way out.

OCD can look like checking the lock five times before you can leave the house, or replaying a thought until it finally loosens its grip. Our providers can help you find your way out of the loop.

What it is

Unwanted thoughts,
and the rituals to quiet them.

OCD is made up of two parts: obsessions, unwanted thoughts, images, or urges that show up uninvited, and compulsions, the behaviors or mental rituals people use to try to neutralize them. The relief is usually brief, and the cycle tends to repeat. Treatment is built around breaking that cycle, most often through a specific type of therapy alongside medication when it helps.

Why it matters

OCD is a health condition,
not a preference for order.

OCD affects roughly 1 in 100 adults, and the gap between the first symptoms and the first treatment is often years long. Left unaddressed, the rituals tend to take up more time and more of the day.

01

It's more common, and less visible, than people assume

Many people with OCD hide their rituals out of shame or fear of judgment, which is part of why it goes untreated for so long.

02

It affects more than the mind

Compulsions can eat into sleep, work, and relationships, and the anxiety underneath them can show up physically, too.

03

A specific type of therapy works remarkably well

Exposure and response prevention therapy has strong evidence behind it, and most people see meaningful relief within months.

How we help

Support built around
breaking the cycle.

OCD takes a different shape for everyone. Our approach treats the whole person, including how it intersects with anxiety, sleep, and physical health.

Comprehensive evaluation

Your first visit covers your specific obsessions, compulsions, and how they've shaped your daily routines over time.

Thoughtful medication management

If medication is part of your plan, we monitor and adjust it together, with regular check-ins along the way.

Whole-person care

Because our providers are dual-certified in mental health and chronic illness, your OCD and conditions like anxiety or insomnia can be addressed by the same clinician.

The same provider, every visit

You'll see the same clinician each time. They know which rituals you're working on and what's actually helping.

What we treat

OCD care that sees
the rest of you, too.

OCD often shows up alongside other conditions. Because our providers are dual-certified, both can be treated in the same place.

What we don't treat

Active psychosis, suicidal ideation, and substance use disorders require a higher level of in-person care than we can safely provide by telehealth. If you are in crisis, call or text 988 or go to your nearest emergency room.

Continuity of care

The same provider,
every time you log in.

You won't retell your story to a new face every visit. You'll be matched with a dual board-certified provider who gets to know your specific obsessions and compulsions, and who stays with you as your care evolves.

Common questions

Answers to what
people usually ask.

How soon will I start feeling better?
It varies by person and by which compulsions are involved. Many people notice meaningful change within a few months of starting exposure and response prevention therapy, though the process is gradual by design.
Will I need medication?
Not necessarily. Some people manage OCD with therapy alone, others benefit from medication, and many use a combination of both. Your provider will walk through the options and build a plan around what fits your life.
What if my intrusive thoughts are disturbing or violent?
Distressing intrusive thoughts, including violent or taboo ones, are one of the most common presentations of OCD. Having them does not mean you want to act on them. Providers who treat OCD are used to hearing about them and know how to help.
What if I need more support than telehealth can offer?
If your provider determines you need a higher level of care, such as for active psychosis, suicidal ideation, or substance use, they'll help connect you to appropriate in-person resources. If you're in crisis right now, call or text 988 or go to your nearest emergency room.
