Personalized, evidence-based care for OCD and anxiety disorders.

ERP involves a structured approach to confronting obsessive triggers. During therapy, individuals intentionally expose themselves to distressing thoughts, situations, places, or objects that typically trigger their OCD symptoms. Simultaneously, they work on refraining from engaging in compulsive behaviors, rituals, or excessive rumination. Over time, this process helps individuals build tolerance to their anxiety and reduce the power of OCD, ultimately leading to greater symptom control and improved quality of life.

I-CBT focuses on identifying and challenging the specific inferences and cognitive distortions that drive obsessive thoughts and compulsive behaviors. By addressing these core cognitive processes, this therapy aims to reduce the distress and interference caused by OCD symptoms.

CBT is an evidence-based therapeutic approach that empowers individuals to challenge and change cognitive distortions, unhelpful thinking patterns, irrational assumptions, and negative self-beliefs. By fostering self-awareness and practical problem-solving skills, CBT helps individuals develop healthier coping strategies, manage their emotions, and address a wide range of mental health challenges for improved overall well-being.

Radically Open Dialectical Behavior Therapy (RO-DBT) is a form of therapy designed to treat disorders associated with overcontrol, such as chronic depression and treatment-resistant anxiety. It focuses on enhancing social connectedness, flexibility, and openness, which can be beneficial for individuals with OCD who exhibit overcontrolled traits like perfectionism and excessive caution. By addressing these underlying personality features, RO-DBT can potentially improve the effectiveness of standard OCD treatments and enhance overall functioning and quality of life.

SPACE, or Supportive Parenting for Anxious Childhood Emotions, is a parent-based treatment program created by Dr. Eli Lebowitz at the Yale Child Study Center. It is specifically designed to help children and adolescents who are dealing with anxiety disorders, including Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD), and related emotional challenges. While the children themselves do not attend SPACE sessions, they are the primary focus of the treatment as patients.

This program has undergone rigorous testing through randomized controlled clinical trials, demonstrating its effectiveness. The core objective of SPACE is to empower parents with strategies and techniques to support their children's emotional well-being and address anxiety and OCD symptoms. As a result of successful SPACE treatment, children often experience reduced anxiety and improved overall functioning, highlighting the program's positive impact on their lives.
