If you have been diagnosed with obsessive-compulsive disorder or think you may have OCD, or if you're finding that other forms of therapy have had no impact on your rumination, intrusive thoughts, or compulsions (they may have even made them worse), it's time to talk to someone who is trained in OCD. Using Exposure and Response Prevention, especially with Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, can provide tremendous relief from OCD and help you regain trust in yourself. There is a way forward.

Having ADHD can mean that you've been living for a while with messages that what you're doing is wrong. This can result in a need to mask aspects of yourself, which can feel stifling, to say the least. As a therapist with ADHD, I understand how ADHD brains work, because mine works that way, too! And I recognize that we live in a neurotypical world that demands one way of being. My therapy combines ADHD friendly tools to help you get where you need to be while making space for the unmasked you.

Exposure and Response Prevention can be intimidating: it's asking you to identify your worst fears and worries, and instead of avoiding or accommodating them, to barrel through them. But something powerful happens when you are able to meet the fear and challenge it: you build your capacity to trust in yourself, and you regain your own power. ERP with ACT can be particularly empowering. If you are curious about ERP, reach out and we can explore if it's a good fit for you.
