Break the Cycle of Obsessions and Compulsions

Obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD) is more than a preference for order or cleanliness. It involves intrusive, unwanted thoughts called obsessions and repetitive behaviors or mental rituals called compulsions. These patterns are often attempts to reduce fear, anxiety, or distress, but they can become overwhelming and disruptive. At Between Behavioral Health, we provide therapy that helps you interrupt this cycle and regain control.

Living with OCD can feel exhausting. You might find yourself stuck in loops of doubt, worry, or guilt. You may spend hours performing rituals, avoiding triggers, or seeking reassurance. If OCD is interfering with your daily life, relationships, or peace of mind, support is available.

We offer in person OCD therapy at our Frederick, Maryland office and virtual treatment options for clients located anywhere in Maryland. Our approach is rooted in Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP), a well supported form of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). ERP, a CBT approach for OCD, helps clients gradually face feared thoughts, images, or situations while resisting compulsive behaviors. This process reduces anxiety over time and helps break the pattern of avoidance and distress that keeps OCD going.

We commonly treat:

• Contamination fears
• Harm related obsessions
• Checking and symmetry compulsions
• Religious or moral concerns (scrupulosity)
• Relationship OCD (ROCD)
• Intrusive or taboo thoughts

Our therapy is collaborative, supportive, and tailored to your individual needs and pace. You will never be pushed beyond what feels manageable.

Flexible private pay rates are available to make support accessible at any stage of your journey.

You do not have to let OCD define your life. Effective help is available and recovery is possible.
