About OCD
OCD Is a Cycle of Fear and Ritual
Obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) brings unwanted, intrusive thoughts and a strong urge to do rituals that seem to promise relief but never quite deliver it. Over time, the checking, counting, or reassurance-seeking can take hours out of your day. Our OCD treatment in PHP and IOP is grounded in exposure and response prevention (ERP), which helps you face the fear and resist the urge to act on it.
We will not judge you for existing the way you currently do.
What OCD Treatment Looks Like in PHP and IOP
PHP runs about six hours a day, Monday through Friday, and IOP runs about three hours a day, three to five days a week. For OCD, much of the work is ERP, practiced with your therapist and in your daily life.
Body
Somatic care looks at how your body and mind affect each other. Yoga and mindfulness help you sit with discomfort without acting on it.
Mind
Cognitive work looks at the automatic thoughts that pop into your head, like the need to be completely sure, and how they drive the rituals.
Brain
Psychoanalytic work gives you a safe space to explore hidden emotions and patterns, and why you feel and act the way you do.
Skills
ERP helps you face the thoughts and situations you fear, one step at a time, without doing the ritual afterward.
From Our Founder
We will show you how your brain works, and give you tools to control it.
From the Exist Nine Truths
Our founder, Dr. Courtney Tracy, has spent more than a decade in clinical work with co-occurring mental health and substance use. Our PHP and IOP programs are built on her three-part model of body, mind, and brain.
