What is Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder?

Obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) is a mental health condition affecting nearly 8 million adults in the US. OCD is characterized by unwanted, intrusive, and repeated thoughts, feelings, or urges called obsessions, which create significant anxiety or distress. To alleviate the distress, individuals feel compelled to perform certain repetitive behaviors or mental acts called compulsions. 

These compulsions are driven by the need to reduce the anxiety caused by the obsessions, but the relief is typically short-term, and the cycle of obsessions and compulsions continues, often interfering with daily life and causing significant distress. OCD can affect individuals of any age and varies widely in severity and symptoms.

Common Symptoms of OCD

People with OCD experience a range of symptoms divided into obsessions and compulsions.

Our OCD Care Levels: Matching Intensity to Your Needs

Residential Treatment

Provides 24/7 immersion for severe OCD, combining advanced behavioral therapies and medication management to rapidly disrupt compulsions, stabilize acute symptoms, and build long-term coping skills in a structured and safe environment.

Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP)

Delivers intensive daily therapy sessions focused on cognitive-behavioral strategies and skill-building while allowing patients to maintain some independence and apply coping techniques in real-life settings.

Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP)

Offers flexible, targeted treatment that strengthens skills for managing OCD triggers and compulsions, supporting steady progress through regular, clinician-led group and individual therapy without disrupting daily routines.

Evidence-Based Therapies for OCD

CBT for OCD

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) remains the gold standard, first-line psychotherapy for OCD. It targets the dysfunctional thought-belief-behavior cycle by identifying intrusive thoughts, challenging beliefs about them, and developing coping strategies that reduce compulsive rituals.

ERP for OCD

Specialized, evidence-based form of CBT developed explicitly for OCD symptoms. It involves gradual and repeated exposure to feared stimuli or thoughts without engaging in compulsive behaviors, weakening the obsession-compulsion cycle over time.

TMS Therapy for OCD

TMS offers a non-invasive, FDA-approved approach for patients unresponsive to traditional  therapies. By using magnetic pulses to stimulate targeted brain regions associated with OCD, TMS regulated neural activity to reduce obsessive thoughts and compulsive behaviors.

Ketamine Therapy for OCD

Ketamine therapy is an emerging, fast-acting treatment showing promise in alleviating severe OCD symptoms. Administered under medical supervision, ketamine acts on glutamate pathways to “reset” dysfunctional brain circuits associated with obsessive thinking.

Medication Options for OCD Relief

Psychiatric care plans for OCD may integrate proven medications like selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) such as fluoxetine, sertraline, fluvoxamine, paroxetine, citalopram, and escitalopram, as well as the tricyclic antidepressant, clomipramine.

These work by increasing serotonin levels in the brain, helping to reduce obsessive thoughts and compulsive behaviors, with research showing 40-60% symptom improvement, especially when integrated with therapies like CBT for enhanced long-term outcomes.​

We can adjust medications or doses as necessary to optimize effectiveness and minimize side effects. If you’ve tried two or more conventional medications without sufficient relief, our experts can assess candidacy for advanced therapies like TMS or ketamine to provide targeted relief.

Frequently Asked Questions About OCD Treatment

How long does OCD treatment take?

Improvement often starts after 8-12 weekly CBT sessions, with medication effects in 8-12 weeks. Advanced treatments like TMS may require 4-6 weeks of sessions, while ketamine may provide quicker relief in only a few sessions. This varies highly by severity and individual mental health needs.

SRIs/SSRIs help 40-60% of patients by balancing brain chemicals, often used alongside therapy for improved outcomes. They can take a few weeks to feel the full effects and may need higher doses than for depression

Determining the best OCD therapy starts with a comprehensive assessment by one of our licensed clinicians, evaluating symptom severity, prior treatment responses, comorbidities, and personal factors like preferences or accessibility.

First-line options typically include CBT/ERP for mild to moderate cases or alongside SSRIs/SRIs for broader relief, while treatment-resistant symptoms may benefit from TMS or ketamine therapy.

For treatment-resistant OCD, advanced options like Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) and ketamine therapy target brain areas non-invasively, with FDA approval for TMS showing symptom reduction in about half of cases. These are recommended after therapy and medication fail.

We accept most major insurance plans, and many providers cover TMS therapy for cases of major depressive disorder and OCD. We can treat anxiety, insomnia, and substance abuse cravings with TMS; however, this is usually not covered by insurance.

OCD is manageable long-term with treatment, often achieving significant or full symptom relief, though maintenance therapy may help prevent relapse.​
