OCD Therapy in New York City

Find relief from intrusive thoughts, compulsions, and constant mental loops.

Living with OCD is exhausting. You may feel like your mind won’t shut off, like you’re always trying to “figure something out,” or like you need to do things just right to feel safe again.
You’re not alone — and OCD is highly treatable with the right approach.

We specialize in Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP), the gold-standard treatment for OCD. 

What OCD Can Look Like

OCD isn’t just handwashing or checking. It can also show up as:

• “What if” intrusive thoughts

• Mental reviewing or reassurance-seeking

• Relationship OCD (ROCD)

• Health anxiety or contamination fears

• Perfectionism and fear of making mistakes

• Sexual or harm intrusive thoughts

• Mental compulsions (rumination, analysis, counting)

• Needing certainty before you can move on

If you’ve tried to stop the thoughts and they get louder, that’s not your fault — it’s how OCD works.

How Exposure & Response Prevention (ERP) Helps

ERP breaks the cycle of fear → discomfort → compulsion → temporary relief → fear again.

Together, we work on changing your relationship with anxiety and intrusive thoughts.

ERP helps you:

• Reduce compulsions (mental or physical)

• Sit with uncertainty without reacting

• Respond differently to intrusive thoughts

• Build confidence in your ability to tolerate discomfort

• Reclaim your time, energy, and peace of mind

What Sessions Look Like

In our work together, sessions may include:

• Mapping your OCD cycle

• Identifying specific triggers and compulsions

• Learning skills to manage anxiety

• Doing exposures together in a safe, supportive way

• Setting up small, doable experiments between sessions

• Reducing avoidance behaviors

• Using curiosity, humor, and compassion to challenge OCD

You will never be pushed into something you’re not ready for. We move at a pace that feels challenging and supportive.

Who We Work With

We work with teens, college students, young adults, parents, and professionals dealing with:

• Intrusive thoughts

• Compulsions
