Evidence-based care to help you break free from the OCD cycle

Two large rock formations separated by a narrow channel, symbolizing challenge and gradual exposure in ERP therapy

01


What is ERP?

Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) is a type of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and the most effective treatment for Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD). ERP helps you face fears gradually and intentionally—without engaging in rituals or avoidance—so you can retrain your brain and reduce anxiety over time.

02


How ERP Works

Together, we’ll identify the specific thoughts, situations, or objects that trigger your obsessions. Then we’ll build a hierarchy of those fears and start exposure exercises, beginning with the least distressing. Each step helps you build tolerance and confidence—reducing the power OCD has over your life.

03


Sustaining Your Progress

As you move up your exposure hierarchy and grow more comfortable resisting compulsions, we’ll focus on maintaining progress through continued practice. Mindful awareness of triggers and routine exposure techniques are key to long-term success and relapse prevention.
