What is an OCD/Anxiety 2-Day therapy intensive?

Accelerated Treatment to Help You Feel Better Sooner

The OCD/Anxiety Therapy Intensive is a 2-day program (9 face-to-face hours), in which you will engage in supportive, evidence-based exposure therapy to target your specific type of OCD or anxiety. This intensive format allows us to complete 2 to 3 months of treatment in just 2 days. For some clients, this is a full treatment protocol. For others, it may be a powerful jumpstart to longer term treatment.

A Comprehensive Approach to Evidence-Based Therapy

Your OCD/Anxiety Therapy Intensive will begin with a pre-interview and assessment to identify your treatment goals. Next, we will meet for 9 hours over a 2-day period. During this time, you will engage in supportive, yet effective exposure therapy to target the behaviors that are maintaining your OCD or anxiety. Finally, we will meet one more time for a post-intensive session to review your progress.

OCD and Anxiety Treatment That Fits Your Schedule

Many clients cannot meet for weekly therapy, live out of town, or do not have the desire to attend treatment for weeks or months. Treatment Intensives may be the right option for college students, teachers, professionals who travel often, or anyone short on time, but wants to engage in evidence-based treatments that work.

FAQ

What is Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) Therapy for OCD?Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) is a type of cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) for OCD. It is considered a gold-standard treatment for OCD and anxiety.If you struggle with obsessive thoughts, anxiety, or compulsions (like checking, washing, counting, or needing things to feel “just right”), ERP can help you take back control.ERP has two main parts:1. Exposure
This means slowly and safely facing the thoughts, images, objects, or situations that trigger your OCD. You are not forced into anything scary. We take small, planned steps together.2. Response Prevention
This means choosing not to do the compulsion or ritual that usually follows the anxiety. Instead of checking, washing, avoiding, or asking for reassurance, you practice letting the anxiety rise and fall on its own.How Does ERP Help?OCD grows when you avoid fear or do rituals to feel better. ERP teaches your brain a new lesson:* Anxiety goes down on its own.
* You can handle uncomfortable thoughts.
* You do not need rituals to be safe.Over time, your brain learns that the fear is not as dangerous as it feels.In ERP therapy for OCD, we will:* Set clear treatment goals
* Build a step-by-step plan
* Practice skills during sessions
* Practice between sessions with supportERP works for many types of OCD, including:* Contamination OCD
* Harm OCD
* Religious or scrupulosity OCD
