Treating OCD with Therapy

Living with Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) can feel like being trapped in a loop you can’t escape. You may experience unwanted, intrusive thoughts—about harm, contamination, morality, or order—and find yourself driven to perform specific behaviors or mental rituals to neutralize the anxiety they cause. While compulsions may offer temporary relief, they also reinforce the fear and make it harder to break the cycle. At Silver Therapy Group, we offer compassionate, evidence-based OCD therapy in New York to help you find freedom from that loop.

Our therapists use approaches proven to be effective for OCD, including Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP), a gold-standard treatment that helps you gradually face feared thoughts without engaging in rituals. We also draw on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help challenge distorted beliefs, and mindfulness-based techniques to build tolerance for uncertainty. Through this work, you’ll begin to feel more agency, learning that thoughts don’t have to dictate your actions or your identity.

OCD isn’t about being “neat” or “quirky.” It’s a painful cycle of intrusive thoughts and compulsions that therapy can help you interrupt. OCD is more than just being overly tidy or organized. It’s a complex and often debilitating condition that can affect people of all ages, backgrounds, and personalities. Whether your obsessions revolve around harm, health, morality, relationships, or even existential fears, we’ll meet you with curiosity, not judgment. Together, we’ll build a treatment plan that addresses your specific symptoms while honoring your pace and lived experience.
