Why GroundWork CBT?

Specialized in the Gold Standard of OCD Treatment
Our clinicians are deeply trained in Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP)—the most effective, research-supported therapy for OCD. As certified diplomates in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and graduates of the Behavior Therapy Training Institute (BTTI), our team offers the highest level of specialization in OCD treatment. This isn’t general talk therapy—we bring targeted, focused support to help you make real progress.

Care That’s Personalized and Evidence-Based
At GroundWork CBT, we know that no two experiences of OCD are the same. Whether your struggles involve contamination fears, intrusive thoughts, checking, symmetry, or doubts about your relationships or identity, we design a structured, step-by-step plan tailored to you. ERP helps you gradually confront the fears at the core of OCD, while reducing the compulsions that maintain them—so you can build long-term freedom.

A Compassionate Approach Rooted in Trust
We understand how hard it can be to talk about the thoughts OCD brings up. That’s why we create a therapeutic space grounded in safety, transparency, and nonjudgment. Our approach is not only clinically sound—it’s deeply human. We walk alongside you as you build the tools, insight, and resilience needed for lasting change.

What Is OCD—and How Do We Treat It?

OCD (Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder) is more than being neat or anxious. It involves unwanted, intrusive thoughts (obsessions) and the repetitive behaviors or mental rituals (compulsions) used to manage the distress they cause. It’s a cycle that can interfere with relationships, work, and daily life—but it’s highly treatable.

ERP works by gradually exposing you to the thoughts, images, or situations that trigger your anxiety while helping you reduce your reliance on compulsions. Over time, your brain learns that it can tolerate discomfort—and that you don’t have to follow OCD’s rules to feel safe. This process, while challenging, is liberating. And you won’t do it alone.
