Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder

Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder effects 1 in 100 adults. This debilitating disorder is often misunderstood and misdiagnosed. That's why at Empirical Embrace, we pride ourselves on having the skills and knowledge to treat this complex diagnosis. 

​

Exposure and Response Prevention is the gold standard treatment for OCD. The treatment is a behavioral approach that is designed to help clients gradually approach situations that might provoke their obsessions in a safe environment. The second part to ERP involves eliminating compulsive behaviors. Throughout treatment, the client learns new skills in tolerating distress and uncertainty. The goal of ERP is not to eliminate distressing situations or thoughts, but to learn how to manage them more effectively, which ultimately puts a stop to the obsessive-compulsive cycle.
