Expert OCD therapy in St. Paul helping you reclaim your life from intrusive thoughts and anxiety.

William Schultz Counseling Story

From OCD Survivor to Expert

We founded the Anxiety and OCD Institute with a unique perspective – understanding OCD from both sides. William Schultz lived with the disorder for 10 years before achieving remission, and is now a recognized OCD researcher and therapist. This dual experience drives our mission to help others break free from OCD’s control.

William’s journey from OCD survivor to leading expert shapes everything we do. His published research has been used to create international treatment guidelines, and as president of OCD Twin Cities, he continues advancing OCD awareness and treatment access throughout Minnesota.

We believe that with the right treatment approach – evidence-based ERP therapy combined with genuine understanding – OCD is highly treatable. Our practice focuses exclusively on helping children, adolescents, and adults overcome intrusive thoughts, anxiety, and repetitive behaviors that have taken control of their lives.
