Break Free from the Cycle of OCD
Understanding OCD and Its Effects
Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) goes far beyond being “neat” or “organized.” It’s a cycle of unwanted thoughts (obsessions) and repetitive behaviors (compulsions) that can disrupt daily life, relationships, and emotional well-being. These patterns often cause intense anxiety and make it difficult to feel in control.
At Desired Change, we understand how overwhelming OCD can be—for both individuals and families. Our therapists specialize in identifying the unique ways OCD shows up in your life and offer effective, compassionate strategies to help you regain freedom from its grip.
Our Approach to OCD Treatment
We use evidence-based therapies like Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP)—the gold standard in OCD treatment—combined with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and mindfulness techniques. These methods help reduce compulsive behaviors, challenge intrusive thoughts, and restore a sense of peace.

Our treatment plans are always personalized. We meet you where you are, helping you gradually face fears, break unhelpful cycles, and build healthier patterns. With the right tools and support, meaningful change is possible.
