Deep Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (dTMS) is a non-invasive procedure that uses magnetic fields to stimulate nerve cells in the brain to improve symptoms of depression. Deep TMS, is typically used when other depression treatments haven't been effective. Using the BrainsWay H1 coil, it provides a deeper magnetic field penetration into the brain than the Figure-8 coil used by all other TMS machines.

Radically Open DBT is a new evidence-based treatment that targets over-controlled coping, rigid behavioral responses, and emotional inhibition. ‘Self-control’ is usually seen as a good thing. However, too much self-control can cause difficulties. A growing body of research shows that excessive self-control is associated with problematic relationships, hyper-perfectionism, chronic depression, social anxiety, eating disorders, obsessive-compulsive traits, and autism spectrum disorders. (Lynch, 2018). This in-person class introduces 30 skills of psychological health, including flexibility, openness, and fostering healthy connections. Learn and practice the principles of Radical Openness with intensely trained RO DBT therapists.

Obsessive-Compulsive (OCD) Support Groups
How long does OCD treatment take?
Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) is often treated on a weekly or twice-weekly schedule, depending on symptom severity and the client’s preferences. Some clients may start to see a noticeable improvement in symptoms in as little as six weeks, but it’s also possible, especially in more severe cases, for treatment to take several months to a year before significant progress is made.

What happens if OCD is not treated?
Some people with OCD, especially those with mild symptoms, may find that they are able to adapt reasonably well to life with the condition, even if their symptoms never resolve completely. However, many people, particularly those whose symptoms are severe at the outset, find that their obsessions and compulsions grow more intrusive with time, making it harder to maintain relationships, hold down a job, or navigate the world successfully.

Are there medications for OCD?
Medication can be used to treat OCD. The class of drugs most often prescribed are selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors, or SSRIs, which include fluvoxamine (under the brand name Luvox), fluoxetine (Prozac), and sertraline (Zoloft), among others. In cases of treatment-resistant OCD, other classes of medication, such as tricyclic antidepressants or atypical antipsychotics, may be prescribed. Medication is frequently used in conjunction with therapy.

Can OCD come back after treatment?
Yes. Major life transitions, periods of stress, or other factors can cause symptoms to return or, if they were never fully eradicated, to ramp back up in intensity. For some, these relapses are brief and do not require additional treatment; identifying specific triggers and practicing the skills learned in therapy can help speed their course. For others, returning to therapy for a brief period can help address the underlying stress and strengthen coping mechanisms.
