You are struggeling with Obsessive Compulsive Disorder ( OCD) and terrified that others might discover your intrusive thoughts.
Same week appointments avalaible! In-network with Blue Cross Blue Shield, United Health Care, Cigna, and Johns Hopkins.
You’re afraid that someone will see you in a way that doesn’t reflect who you really are. That mismatch — between your intent and their perception — creates stress. Deep down, you want to be judged fairly. It’s not about being perfect — it’s about not being misunderstood in a way that harms your sense of self. If they think badly of you, what happens next? Will they talk behind your back? Will others believe them? Will you be isolated, mocked, or cast out?

Not all childhoods are created equally. We all deserve the space and support we need to develop and explore our sense of self, but when you're chronically in survival mode, identity gets deprioritized in favor of safety. If you're noticing yourself feeling held back by your trauma, I want to help you reclaim your life. Our sessions will help you recognize and validate your strengths, confront your problems with gentle accountability, and establish actionable steps towards real change. If therapy seems overwhelming to you, I want you to know we can find ways to make the scary seem approachable and the confusing seem comprehensible.

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.
