What Is OCD?
Obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) is a mental health condition characterized by persistent, intrusive thoughts (obsessions) and repetitive behaviors or mental rituals (compulsions) performed to alleviate distress. These cycles can interfere with daily functioning and quality of life. Though obsessions and compulsions differ from person to person, there are a number that are commonly experienced. These include:
Common Obsessions:
- An extreme need for order, symmetry, or exactness
- Severe fear of contamination, dirt or germs
- Persistent, intrusive or socially taboo thoughts
- Paralyzing perfectionism
- Irrational beliefs that something terrible will happen to a loved one
Common Compulsions:
- Excessive, ritualized hand washing or cleaning
- Repeating specific words, phrases or mantras silently
- Compulsive checking (e.g., constantly checking if doors are locked or ovens are off)
- Continuously seeking reassurance from friends or family
- Using drugs or alcohol as a way to temporarily numb intrusive thoughts
Professional treatment can help you find long-term freedom from the anxieties negatively impacting your life.

Treatments Backed by Science
We go beyond traditional methods to offer cutting-edge, research-backed OCD therapy in Salt Lake City tailored to the way this condition uniquely affects you. Whether you’re battling intrusive thoughts, compulsive rituals, or the exhausting cycle of anxiety, our specialists use a dynamic blend of gold-standard therapies and innovative techniques to help you reclaim your peace of mind.
While our clinical foundation relies heavily on Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP)—the premier treatment for OCD—we support your healing with a comprehensive, whole-person approach. These supporting therapies include:
- Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
- Psychiatric Services & Medication Management
- Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)
- Recreation Therapy
- Mindfulness Practices
The Gold Standard for OCD: Exposure & Response Prevention (ERP)
Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) is a highly effective behavioral therapy that empowers you to gradually face your anxiety triggers while learning to resist the urge to perform compulsive rituals or avoidance behaviors. Widely considered the most effective treatment for Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD), ERP is a highly structured process guided by a specialized therapist. The “exposure” component involves safely and gradually confronting the thoughts, images, objects, or situations that trigger your intense anxiety and intrusive thoughts.
Crucially, the “response prevention” aspect teaches you how to sit with that uncomfortable feeling without resorting to your usual safety behaviors, such as compulsive checking, mental rituals, or seeking reassurance. By continually making the choice not to engage in these compulsions, you effectively retrain your brain. Over time, your mind learns that the perceived threat is not actually dangerous, which causes your natural anxiety response to drop and ultimately gives you back control over your daily life.
