Common Questions
OCD in NYC — FAQ.
What is ERP therapy for OCD?+
Exposure and Response Prevention is the gold-standard therapy for OCD. It involves gradually facing feared situations while resisting the urge to perform compulsions. Over time, anxiety decreases and the OCD cycle weakens.
Can OCD be treated with medication alone?+
Medication (typically SSRIs) can significantly reduce OCD symptoms, but research shows the best outcomes come from combining medication with ERP therapy. Our team develops a plan tailored to your needs.
Is OCD the same as being a perfectionist?+
No. OCD involves distressing, unwanted intrusive thoughts and time-consuming compulsions. Perfectionism is a personality trait. OCD is a clinical condition that causes significant impairment and distress.
