You’ll finally have space in your mind for what matters. No more hours lost to checking, washing, or mental rituals that steal your time and energy.
Your relationships improve when you’re not constantly distracted by intrusive thoughts or the need to perform compulsions. Work becomes manageable again when your brain isn’t hijacked by obsessions.
Most importantly, you’ll rediscover who you are beneath the OCD. The real you—the person with interests, goals, and dreams that have nothing to do with managing anxiety or avoiding feared situations.
We bring specialized OCD expertise to Grand Prairie residents through both virtual and in-person care. Our team includes nationally recognized researchers and published clinicians who have shaped international OCD treatment guidelines.
What sets us apart is that many of our clinicians have lived experience with the very conditions they treat. This isn’t just academic knowledge—it’s real understanding of what you’re going through.
Grand Prairie families have struggled with limited local options for specialized OCD care. We fill that gap by offering evidence-based treatment that goes beyond basic therapy to address the unique challenges of living with OCD in the fast-paced Dallas-Fort Worth area.
Treatment starts with understanding your specific OCD patterns—the exact thoughts that trigger you and the compulsions you use to cope. This isn’t guesswork; it’s a systematic assessment that maps your unique experience.
Next comes Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP), the gold-standard treatment for OCD. You’ll gradually face feared situations while learning to resist compulsions, starting with manageable challenges and building your tolerance.
The process includes both in-session work and real-world practice. You’ll learn that the consequences you fear don’t actually happen, and that anxiety naturally decreases without rituals. Each session builds on the last, creating lasting change rather than temporary relief.
Your clinician guides every step, ensuring appropriate pacing while maintaining progress. This isn’t about willpower—it’s about retraining your brain’s response to intrusive thoughts through proven therapeutic techniques.

We treat all forms of OCD, from harm obsessions and contamination fears to symmetry compulsions and postpartum OCD. Our approach includes Inference-based CBT (I-CBT) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) alongside traditional ERP.
Grand Prairie residents benefit from flexible scheduling options including intensive four-day treatment programs for faster results. Virtual sessions eliminate commute time in the busy Dallas-Fort Worth traffic, while in-person options provide face-to-face support when needed.
We serve children, adolescents, and adults, recognizing that OCD presents differently across age groups. Treatment plans are culturally responsive and individually tailored, meeting each client where they are emotionally and geographically.
Family education helps loved ones understand OCD and learn how to support recovery without accommodating symptoms—crucial for long-term success in Grand Prairie’s family-oriented community.
OCD requires specialized treatment that regular therapists aren’t trained to provide. Traditional talk therapy has no research evidence supporting its effectiveness for OCD and can actually make symptoms worse by encouraging analysis of intrusive thoughts.
Effective OCD treatment uses Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP), which involves gradually facing feared situations while resisting compulsions. This retrains your brain’s response to intrusive thoughts through proven behavioral techniques.
We provide this specialized care with clinicians who have specific OCD expertise, not general mental health training. Many of our team members have lived experience with OCD, providing authentic understanding that general therapists simply cannot offer.
Most clients see significant improvement within 12-20 sessions of ERP therapy, though this varies based on symptom severity and individual circumstances. Some people notice changes within 6-8 weeks, while more complex cases may require several months.
We offer intensive four-day treatment options for faster results, particularly helpful for Grand Prairie residents dealing with severe symptoms that interfere with work or school. This concentrated approach can achieve in days what might take months in weekly sessions.
Treatment length also depends on your commitment to practicing exposures outside sessions. Clients who consistently complete homework assignments and resist compulsions between visits typically see faster progress and more lasting results.
Harm OCD involves disturbing thoughts about hurting yourself or others, but having these thoughts doesn’t make you dangerous. People with harm OCD are actually less likely to act on violent impulses than the general population—the distress these thoughts cause proves they go against your true values.
Treatment involves carefully designed exposures to these thoughts without performing mental compulsions like analyzing, seeking reassurance, or avoiding situations. This teaches your brain that intrusive thoughts are just thoughts, not predictions or desires.
Our clinical team has extensive experience treating harm OCD and understands the shame and fear these symptoms create. Sessions provide a completely judgment-free space where no thought is too taboo to discuss, allowing for genuine healing without stigma.
We work with most major insurance plans and provide complete transparency about coverage and costs upfront. You’ll know exactly what your sessions will cost before starting treatment, with no surprise bills or hidden fees.
For those without adequate insurance coverage, we offer flexible payment options and work with clients to make treatment accessible. Our focus is on getting you the help you need, not creating financial barriers to recovery.
Insurance verification happens during your initial consultation, and our team handles all the paperwork and prior authorization requirements. This eliminates the administrative burden so you can focus entirely on your recovery.
Both virtual and in-person ERP therapy are equally effective for treating OCD. Virtual sessions eliminate travel time in Grand Prairie traffic and provide access to specialized care regardless of your location in the Dallas-Fort Worth area.
Many exposures can be conducted effectively through telehealth, including imaginal exposures, reviewing homework assignments, and planning real-world practice. Virtual sessions also allow for more flexible scheduling, particularly important for working professionals and busy families.
In-person sessions may be preferred for certain types of exposures or when clients benefit from face-to-face interaction. Our clinical team helps determine the best format based on your specific needs and treatment goals, and you can switch between formats as needed.
OCD involves specific patterns of intrusive thoughts (obsessions) followed by repetitive behaviors or mental acts (compulsions) aimed at reducing distress. These cycles are time-consuming, distressing, and interfere significantly with daily functioning.
Common signs include spending excessive time checking, cleaning, or organizing; having disturbing thoughts that feel completely out of character; performing mental rituals like counting or repeating phrases; or avoiding situations that trigger unwanted thoughts.
The key difference is that OCD thoughts feel intrusive and unwanted, creating significant distress precisely because they conflict with your values. General anxiety tends to focus on realistic concerns, while OCD obsessions often involve unlikely or impossible scenarios that your logical mind knows don’t make sense.
