OCD Treatment in Georgia

There are thoughts you can’t get out of your mind, even though you know they are not true. Do these thoughts cause mental images, or provide time consuming and intrusive urges that may cause anxiety (obsessions)? Are you then met with an overwhelming desire to engage in an often repetitive behavior in response to those thoughts (compulsions)? If so, you may be suffering from clinical Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD).

OCD is a long lasting disorder in which people experience uncontrollable and recurring thoughts (obsessions), engage in repetitive behaviors (compulsions), or both (www.nimh.nih.gov). Often times, OCD will present with very difficult, time consuming symptoms which can interfere with day to day life. The good news is there are treatment options for OCD to manage symptoms and improve your overall quality of life if you are suffering. Using a Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) approach to treat OCD can help you to identify your unwanted negative thoughts and work to challenge those thoughts and responses to them. Likewise, our team of therapists are trained to also look at the underlying causes of OCD symptoms to help you live more freely. If you or someone you know tends to struggle with Obsessive Compulsive Disorder please reach out to learn more about working with our highly trained therapists.
