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.

"The course I went through has taught me the tools and techniques needed to successfully navigate my anxieties. I realize this is a life long journey and I need to be diligent in using the tools and to be honest with myself. The therapist I had for this education was fantastic. She was knowledgeable, caring and took the time to help me understand fully the steps and course material. I am thankful for her help and her ability to be non judge-mental and sympathetic to my issues. I realize everyone is different, this course helped me greatly."

"My therapy experience has been overwhelmingly positive and genuinely life‑changing. From the very first session, I felt heard, respected, and supported. The environment has always felt safe and welcoming, making it easy to open up and explore things at my own pace.
What I appreciate most is the balance of compassion and practical guidance. I’ve gained tools that actually work in my day‑to‑day life—strategies that help me communicate more clearly, understand myself better, and navigate challenges with more confidence. I’ve noticed real growth in how I think, respond, and care for myself.
Every session leaves me feeling lighter, more grounded, and more capable. I’m grateful for the progress I’ve made and for the steady, thoughtful support that helped me get here. This has been one of the best investments I’ve made in my well‑being, and I’d wholeheartedly recommend this experience to anyone looking for meaningful, sustainable change."

"This is a great site that gives you all the tools you need for success in your therapy journey. Having a licensed therapist like Sherrie along also helps so much, the worksheets provided along with the journal really help me take a moment and understand how I feel on a day to day basis."

"The worksheets helped me learn more about myself, and got me to really think about who I am as a person. Therapist live sessions were very insightful, nudging me to think in the right direction. A lot of preparation work required if you want the session to be efficient, but I think it's worth it. Would also help if therapist would do some prep work as well, and maybe suggest areas to explore on before each session based on previous sessions."
