Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) is a condition where a person experiences unwanted, persistent thoughts (obsessions) and feels compelled to perform certain behaviors (compulsions) to relieve the anxiety caused by those thoughts. These repetitive behaviors can take up a significant amount of time and interfere with daily activities, making it difficult for children and adults to focus on what really matters in life.

At Wheaton Behavioral Health, we understand how challenging OCD can be. It can feel overwhelming, as the obsessions and compulsions may seem uncontrollable, no matter how hard you try to stop them. Our goal is to help you break free from this cycle by offering personalized treatment that addresses both the obsessions and the compulsions at the heart of OCD.

Through Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), particularly Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP), we guide patients in learning how to gradually face their fears and reduce compulsive behaviors. We also work with families to ensure everyone understands the nature of OCD and how best to support their loved one through treatment.

If you or your child are struggling with OCD, you don’t have to face it alone. We are here to help you take the first steps toward managing OCD and regaining control over your life. Contact us today to begin the journey toward healing and peace of mind.
