What is Evidence-Based Therapy?
How it Works and What to Expect
Guided by Research
What exactly is evidence-based therapy? It means that years of research and clinical trials have demonstrated that these approaches work to reduce symptoms, produce change and improve quality of life.
Change Your Mindset
Learn new skills to challenge negative thinking, change beliefs, develop a more positive mindset, and learn to unhook from obsessive, unhelpful thoughts.
Set Goals
What struggles are you facing? How do you want your life to be different? Setting clear goals can increase motivation, inform treatment planning, help us be intentional in our work and measure progress along the way.
Change Your Behaviors
Identify behaviors that are keeping you stuck such as avoidance, procrastination, & people pleasing. You'll learn skills and complete exposures to break these patterns, conquer your fears and develop more healthy approaches.
Build Awareness & Insight
Develop awareness of the negative thoughts, beliefs and behaviors that are keeping you stuck in a cycle of anxiety, perfectionism and OCD. Awareness is essential because we can't change what we can't see.
Make Lasting Change
Lasting growth in therapy happens when you make changes in your daily life, so every session ends with a homework assignment to encourage building new habits that last beyond therapy.
OCD can be exhausting.
ERP can help.
What is OCD?
If you live with OCD, you may experience unwanted, intrusive thoughts or images (obsessions) that create distress and leave you feeling compelled to perform repetitive behaviors or mental rituals (compulsions) to find relief or certainty. Sometimes called the “doubt disorder,” OCD can leave you questioning, second-guessing, and searching for answers that never quite feel certain enough. It can take many forms, including fears about contamination or harming others, relationship doubts, health worries, perfectionism, or fears about doing something wrong. You might find yourself checking things repeatedly, researching, avoiding triggers, seeking reassurance, replaying conversations, or getting stuck trying to figure things out. While these strategies may bring temporary relief, they often keep you caught in the OCD cycle.
How Does ERP Help?
Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) is a leading evidence-based treatment for OCD. Instead of avoiding what makes you anxious or getting pulled into compulsive checking, reassurance, or endless analysis, you'll gradually face your fears while learning to resist the urge to perform compulsions. Along the way, you'll practice stepping back from intrusive thoughts, staying out of the “bubble” of OCD rumination, and allowing uncertainty to exist without needing to solve it. With practice, you'll build confidence in your ability to handle discomfort, learn to trust yourself even when doubt shows up, and make choices based on your values rather than letting OCD call the shots.
STEP: Skills Training and Exposure Program for OCD
Jumpstart Your Recovery with 8 Weeks of Intensive ERP Treatment
ERP
If OCD, anxiety or fear is limiting your life, this 8-week program offers a jumpstart to your therapy journey with more structure and support than traditional weekly therapy.
With 2 sessions per week, you'll build awareness of OCD patterns, learn practical strategies to reduce compulsions and complete coached exposures to put you skills into practice multiple times a week.
The goal? To accelerate your progress, build a strong foundation for treatment and equip you with the tools, confidence and momentum to propel you forward!
