Our evidence-based therapies and holistic care empower you to reduce compulsions, challenge obsessive thinking, and regain emotional freedom and control.

Understanding Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD)
How Anxiety Drives Repetitive Behaviors and Distressing Thoughts
OCD is defined by two main features:
Obsessions: Persistent, unwanted thoughts, images, or fears that provoke intense anxiety.
Compulsions: Repetitive behaviors or mental rituals performed to alleviate that anxiety.
Although compulsions may provide temporary relief, they often become rigid, time-consuming, and disruptive. Common compulsive actions include excessive cleaning, checking, counting, or arranging objects.
Factors contributing to OCD include:
Genetic Predisposition: OCD often runs in families, indicating a hereditary influence.
Brain Chemistry: Imbalances in serotonin and heightened brain activity in certain areas may be involved.
Life Stressors or Trauma: Traumatic or stressful events, especially during childhood, can trigger or worsen symptoms.
For those also struggling with substance use, compulsions and obsessive thoughts may become more overwhelming. Substances are sometimes used to self-soothe, complicating recovery efforts. That’s why treating both conditions concurrently is critical.
