Break Free from the

Cycle of OCD

If you’re living with obsessive thoughts and compulsive behaviors, you know how exhausting it can be.

ERP therapy—short for Exposure and Response Prevention—is considered the gold standard treatment for OCD. Backed by decades of research, ERP helps people learn to face their fears without relying on compulsions, leading to lasting relief.

What Is ERP Therapy?

ERP is a form of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) designed specifically for obsessive-compulsive disorder.
It involves two main steps:

  1. Exposure: Gradually facing the situations, thoughts, or triggers that cause anxiety.

  2. Response Prevention: Resisting the urge to perform compulsive behaviors or rituals.

By practicing ERP in a safe, supportive environment, you retrain your brain to tolerate anxiety and reduce OCD symptoms over time.

Who Can Benefit from ERP?

ERP is highly effective for:

  • Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD)

  • Intrusive thoughts and mental rituals

  • Contamination fears and cleaning compulsions

  • Checking behaviors

  • Symmetry, order, or counting rituals

  • Avoidance related to anxiety triggers

How ERP Therapy Works

During ERP sessions, your therapist will:

  • Work with you to identify your triggers and compulsions

  • Create a personalized exposure hierarchy (starting small and building up)

  • Practice exposures in-session and assign supportive homework

  • Teach coping strategies for resisting compulsions

  • Provide encouragement, accountability, and progress tracking

ERP is collaborative—you set the pace, and your therapist guides you with compassion and expertise.

Why Choose ERP for OCD?

  • Research-backed: Multiple clinical studies show ERP significantly reduces OCD symptoms.

  • Skills for life: ERP helps you build lasting tools for managing anxiety.

  • Tailored to you: Every treatment plan is customized to your unique needs and comfort level.
