OBSESSIVE-COMPULSIVE DISORDER THERAPY

Does obsessive compulsive disorder leave you feeling overwhelmed by a flood of obsessive behaviors and thoughts?

Do you struggle with intrusive thoughts that invade your reality? Perhaps you want to break free from these behaviors and thoughts, but you need help figuring out where to begin. You may feel pressure to change but feel stuck in your situation.

OCD can affect your mood, relationships, and overall health.

Stress or repressed trauma can trigger unwanted and obsessive behaviors. These behaviors are not an overreaction to stress or deep emotions. They can seem impossible to control.

If this sounds like you, you are not alone. You may not want to follow through with these behaviors but feel that you're unable to reduce fear or anxiety.

If you are dealing with OCD, there is hope for recovery.

OCD is more common than most people realize. According to the National Institute of Mental Health, more than 1.2% of adults struggle with this mental illness. Additionally, about 50% of people with OCD symptoms experience them before the age of 18.

At Sequoia Counseling Group, we understand the struggle of dealing with obsessive or compulsive behaviors. You may feel you're not in control or have trouble voicing your feelings. Seeking professional counseling can help you understand your struggles.

We’re happy to answer your questions!
