OCD

Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder

OCD isn’t about being “neat” or “quirky.” It’s a real condition that can be overwhelming, isolating, and exhausting.
Whether you're dealing with intrusive thoughts, compulsive behaviors, or mental rituals, we offer therapy that helps you regain peace and control.

OCD Doesn’t Define You. We’re Here to Help You Break Free.

What OCD Can Feel Like?

OCD is not your fault. It’s highly treatable with the right tools.

You might experience:

  • Intrusive or distressing thoughts you can’t shake

  • Repetitive behaviors or mental rituals to feel “safe” or “certain”

  • Intense fear of harm, contamination, or losing control

  • Feeling like your mind is on a loop

  • Avoiding things that trigger your obsessions

  • Guilt or shame about your thoughts

These symptoms aren’t “just in your head.” They’re valid and treatable with the right support.

Effective, Compassionate Support for OCD:

  • Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) the gold standard for OCD care

  • Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to challenge distorted thinking

  • Mindfulness-Based Tools for managing anxiety

  • Internal Family Systems (IFS) and EMDR when trauma is also involved

We Understand That OCD Doesn’t Exist in a Vacuum:

Many of our clients also navigate:

  • Neurodivergence (like ADHD or autism)

  • Queer, trans, or nonbinary identities

  • First-generation or immigrant experiences

  • Chronic illness, pain, or fatigue

  • Religious scrupulosity or spiritual trauma

  • Caregiving burnout

  • Racial trauma or cultural expectations

At Dreavita, we don’t just treat symptoms, we honor the full context of your story.
We provide affirming, trauma-informed care that meets you where you are, not where others think you should be.
