Description:

Unload the fear, shame, frustration and regain control from OCD. Learn how to manage and overcome the OCD. Regardless of the OCD subtype, ERP can help you overcome the fear and move forward. If OCD is interfering with your life, ERP can help.

You’ll learn exposure strategies specifically designed to effectively overcome the OCD. As Social Workers with extensive training in OCD, we use ERP every, single, day. We don’t treat the OCD symptoms, we treat the core fear that causes them. In this way, treatment becomes much more effective and long-lasting. Together with your therapist, you’ll confront the OCD in-clinic, at home, in the community, and wherever the OCD lives.

All of our staff have extensive training in Exposure and Response Prevention for the treatment of OCD, Habit Reversal Training for BFRBs, and CBIT for tics and Tourettes.

*New Service: Nurse Practitioners
Exposure and Response Prevention is the gold standard treatment for those living with OCD; however, medication support may be required in some cases to help you through your recovery process. Regardless of diagnosis, those living with OCD can now seek medication consultation and management at OCD North, allowing complex OCD to be managed under one roof.
