OCD can feel exhausting and overwhelming, as though you have to follow certain rules or rituals just to feel safe or keep something bad from happening. We use Exposure and Response Prevention to help you reclaim your life.

What is Exposure and Response Prevention?

Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) is a type of cognitive behavioral therapy for OCD that helps people take back control from the cycle of intrusive thoughts and compulsive behaviors.

ERP is a gentle method during which you will gradually build courage and confidence as you face the thoughts and situations that cause anxiety, without doing the rituals that OCD demands. Over time, this helps you reduce fear and build trust in your ability to handle uncertainty, so you can live with more ease and freedom to pursue what matters most.
