Most of us have, at some time, felt uncertain about leaving the iron or the stove on and some have even gone home to check. This type of behavior is just normal and doesn't cause any damage or harm in one's life. However, if you have intrusive "what if" thoughts, and your need to perform these behaviors on a regular basis and they interfere with your daily life, then you might be suffering from OCD (obsessive-compulsive disorder).

OCD is a condition marked by irrational beliefs (obsessions) and rituals (compulsions). The obsessions are recurrent, unwanted thoughts that are difficult or impossible for you to ignore and cause you anxiety. By performing repetitive, ritualized compulsions, you (temporarily) ease your anxiety. It may, for example, be that you often wash your hands very thoroughly, or check all the locks in your home. You may feel like you "have" to do these rituals. These thoughts and behaviors most likely take up a lot of your time and energy, causing you significant stress which can cause tension in your relationships and other aspects of your life.

Luckily there is hope, even if you have tried to stop your compulsions before and it has not been as successful as you would like. Our therapy for OCD is based on cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT). With the help of CBT and your therapist, you will identify what triggers your OCD. You will learn how to face your obsessions and find ways to refrain from ritualizing. Eventually you will be able to face these triggers without the need to perform your normal rituals (like washing your hands several times in a row or checking the lights numerous times). You will discover how to replace these negative thoughts with more realistic ones. Eventually you will be in charge of the thoughts and behaviors that previously have been fueling your OCD, so that you can live life free from obsessions and compulsions.

"Dr. Vicki has helped me so much in such a short time, it's amazing! She has always been very flexible, patient, and caring with her approach. She has allowed me a safe space to not be ashamed of myself or the things that I want to change. I value my relationship with her very much, and I highly recommend her to anyone who wants to pull a complete 180! She has made an extremely positive change in how I see my life, my situation, myself, my brain, and my challenges. Thank you so much!!"

"Stephanie has been incredible. Welcoming; a sense of safety and ability to share and converse like you are confiding in someone trustworthy of your emotions. Highly recommend to anyone feeling overwhelmed and open to learning coping strategies ... even if you think you are just fine!"

"I started therapy about 2 weeks ago after struggling with my problem for 7 months with little change and even maybe worsening over that 7 months…. I have put my best foot forward with my therapy and taken it seriously to move forward and have seen good results in just two weeks…. I am continuing to finish this and move on completely from my problem but I am hopefully optimistic"

"Parisa Azadvary was an incredible therapist who provided me with lots of insight, help, and also being a great listener to my struggles. Online-Therapy was a fantastic service I'd recommend. Thanks to everyone involved :)"
