It's also worth mentioning, sometimes, we do not have a clear understanding of where we want life to go (but we might know that it's not working). Maybe we have a vague idea, but have trouble taking steps that bring us closer to where we want to be. Or maybe we are doing too much, leading us to feel like we have little control in life.

I use evidenced-based therapies for the treatment of anxiety and OCD (using CBT, ERP, ACT, and ICBT).
Suffering from anxiety is exhausting. The what if'ing is constant and you know these thoughts aren't rational...but they feel so real. You find yourself often distracted because of worried thinking. You try everything to find relief (even therapy), but nothing seems to help. You avoid anxiety triggers, and this only seems to have made your world small. You wish you could wake up tomorrow with skills that work to stop the noise in your head so you can be confident to handle what life throws at you, be present with your loved ones, and stay focused at work.

Obsessive-Compulsive (OCD) Therapists
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.
