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.

"I was in a hole. Life wasn't going at all like I expected. Huge losses, and I felt like there wasn't hope. My mindset was challenged and I'm seeing things a lot differently. Trust the process, there are lifelines if you'll grab them."

"I enjoy the ability to write to my therapist and get replies. This works for me. I write out how I feel, what I am going through. I’m more comfortable this way. Not a big talker. This site gives you options. There are different tools you can use. Pick and choose. Customize to your needs. I find this online therapy actually is helpful."

"It's been great! My first therapist was fine enough, but it was very easy to go search for a new one and when I did, my experience improved a lot! I really like the worksheets and whatnot too"

"I love this therapy platform so much.
It has features many other online therapy services don’t provide, like yoga videos and messaging between appointments. I love being able to see the chat history with my therapist because sometimes they document important realizations. I had an issue where I missed one week of therapy due to holidays and customer service added the missed session to my package for no extra charge. I have already recommended this to so many people. My therapist, Tessa, makes my recovery a priority and I trust she has my best interests in mind. I loved being able to choose a therapist based on my needs. Everything about this platform is so easy and helpful. I love it and it’s helping me so much."

"6 weeks in, she is wonderful. there seems to be some confusion on the website with how payments recur.. hopefully that sorts itself out next time without cancelling my session (I got it back same date and time so no harm done)."

"I love this program. It is so easy and comfortable to use. I use it at my own speed. The help is always there and ready to give advise and positive feedback. Has mostly helped me in changing my word use and keeping me on track for not exploding on people when they discourage me."
