OCD can make you scared of your own mind.

Unwanted, intrusive thoughts can pull you into hours of checking, replaying, reassurance-seeking, or trying to figure out what they mean about you. The relief is temporary, and then the cycle of compulsions starts again.

You deserve support from someone who understands OCD—and someone you can speak openly with.

We use specialized therapeutic approaches for OCD, including ERP, ACT and I-CBT, to help you change your relationship with obsessive doubt and reconnect with what matters to you.

We do therapy a little differently than your average therapy practice.

We go in depth to get to the root causes of your suffering so that healing actually lasts- it’s not all about reframing thoughts and learning distress tolerance. We see psychological distress as symptoms of deeper issues; and symptoms as protective of the pain inside.
We recognize how power, privilege, oppression and marginalization shape mental health. We don’t believe you are to blame for your eating disorder or OCD nor do we believe eating disorders or OCD are just a matter of brain chemistry issues.
You deserve care that is proven to work through scientific research- we are trained in various evidence based modalities such as ERP, CBT, DBT and ACT in addition to our depth focus and liberation psychology values.
You know your life best, so no one should define what recovery means to you. We empower you to build your own definition of recovery and we collaborate with you on how to get there.
