Beatrice Ochieng
Counselor/Therapist, CCATP, LCPC
"I am a terrible person" - negative self-labeling emanating from automatic intrusive thoughts. The thoughts bring shame and guilt and you are afraid that if people could read your thoughts they would judge you. Also, compulsions that are repetitive and time consuming causing delays and conflict with other people. Constantly second-guessing yourself.

Dr. Adam Shafer
Psychologist, Psy. D., M.A.
Being restricted by intense worries about oneself and others can lead people into rigid routines that function to alleviate the intensity of their inner tensions, if only for a short time. People who are unable to break out from these patterns can become self-critical and lose a sense of hope that can be debilitating. It is important to remind ourselves in these instances that things can improve and that sometimes it may only take the effort to reach out for help.

Psychologist, PhD
OCD can feel limiting and time-consuming. Facing OCD can increase life satisfaction. We can use exposure therapy principles to help you break unhelpful cycles of behaviors that never fully do what they promise - bring peace. Learning to distinguish between obsessions and compulsions is an important first step, followed by building skills to be with discomfort (rather than driven to reduce discomfort) and take action toward meaningful life goals.
