Map the cycle together.
We’ll identify the situations and thoughts that trigger distress, the rituals or mental reviewing that follow, and how the pattern affects your day. Compulsions aren’t always visible to other people.

OCD & ERP therapy in Maryland.
When doubt keeps asking you to check one more time.
OCD can involve unwanted thoughts, repeated checking, reassurance-seeking, or hours spent reviewing something in your mind. You may get a little relief, only to find yourself back at the same question.
You can talk about thoughts that feel embarrassing or hard to explain. We’ll focus on understanding the cycle and how you respond to it.

What working together can look like.
Use exposure and response prevention.
ERP involves practicing contact with situations or uncertainty that trigger OCD while working on resisting the compulsions you usually use for relief. We’ll plan exercises together and adjust them to your needs.
Bring the work into daily life.
We’ll practice between sessions and review what happened. Your goals might include spending less time checking, asking for less reassurance, or making choices without having to feel completely certain first.
Questions you might have.
Can ERP address mental rituals?
Yes. Our work can include compulsions such as mentally reviewing, checking your feelings, or repeatedly trying to settle a doubt—not only visible rituals.
Will I have to do something before I’m ready?
We’ll discuss the purpose of exercises and plan them together. ERP can be uncomfortable, and we’ll talk openly about the pace, your concerns, and what you’re willing to practice.
