You wake up and your first thought isn’t about checking the locks. You touch surfaces without panic. You leave the house without going back three times to verify the stove is off.
This isn’t fantasy—this is what happens when you get ERP therapy that’s designed specifically for OCD. While other treatments might help you cope with being trapped, ERP teaches you how to walk through that door and stay out.
You’ll reclaim hours of your day that used to disappear into rituals. That mental energy gets redirected toward your relationships, your work, your actual goals. The constant background anxiety fades, replaced by confidence that you can handle whatever comes up.
We bring together nationally recognized researchers, published clinicians, and therapists who’ve lived with OCD themselves. We’re not just reading about your experience—many of us have walked this exact path.
We’ve been serving Mission, TX and the Rio Grande Valley through both secure telehealth and in-person appointments. Mission’s diverse, growing community values accessible healthcare, and we’re committed to meeting that need with specialized care.
You won’t get generic anxiety treatment here. Every approach is rooted in the latest OCD research and tailored to your specific compulsions and triggers.
We start by mapping your specific OCD patterns. What triggers your obsessions? Which compulsions feel most urgent? We create a personalized hierarchy that ranks your fears from manageable to challenging—no flooding, no overwhelming you.
Next comes the actual ERP work. You’ll face lower-level triggers while practicing response prevention—sitting with discomfort without performing compulsions. Each successful exposure teaches your brain that anxiety decreases naturally, even without rituals.
We gradually work up your hierarchy, always at a pace you can handle. Sessions happen in our office and in real-world settings where your OCD shows up most. You’ll get specific homework assignments to practice between sessions, building momentum toward lasting change.

Our ERP therapy comes in formats designed for real life. Weekly sessions work well for steady progress and skill-building. For faster results, our intensive four-day programs condense months of traditional therapy into focused treatment blocks.
Mission residents benefit from our flexibility—virtual sessions when convenience matters, in-person appointments when face-to-face connection is crucial. We treat children, adolescents, and adults, adapting our ERP approach for each developmental stage and family situation.
The Rio Grande Valley’s close-knit community means we understand how cultural factors impact treatment decisions. We’re completely transparent about our process and fees because you deserve to know exactly what you’re investing in and what results to expect.
Most people see significant improvement within 8 to 16 weeks of consistent ERP therapy. Research shows that 80% of people with OCD experience symptom reduction in this timeframe when they stick with the process.
Your timeline depends on factors like symptom severity, how long you’ve had OCD, and your commitment to doing exposures between sessions. Some people notice changes within the first few weeks, while others need more time to build confidence.
Our intensive ERP treatment programs can accelerate this timeline significantly. By condensing focused work into consecutive days, clients often achieve breakthrough moments that might take months in weekly sessions. The key is consistent practice, even when it feels uncomfortable.
Completely different. Regular talk therapy focuses on discussing your thoughts and understanding your feelings. ERP therapy involves actually confronting your fears through carefully planned exposures while preventing compulsive responses.
Traditional therapy might help you understand why you have OCD, but it won’t rewire your brain’s response to triggers. ERP directly challenges the avoidance cycle that keeps OCD alive—you learn through experience that compulsions aren’t necessary for anxiety to decrease.
This is why ERP is called the gold standard OCD treatment. It’s specifically designed for obsessive-compulsive disorder, unlike general anxiety treatments that might actually worsen OCD symptoms by encouraging avoidance or providing false reassurance.
Yes, our telehealth ERP sessions are just as effective as in-person treatment. You’ll receive the same evidence-based approach, personalized exposures, and ongoing support through secure video sessions from your home in Mission.
Online ERP works particularly well for contamination fears, checking compulsions, intrusive thoughts, and many other OCD presentations. We can guide you through exposures in your actual environment, which often makes the treatment more relevant and effective for daily life.
For certain exposures, we might recommend in-person sessions or community-based work in Mission. We’ll discuss what makes sense for your specific OCD symptoms and create a flexible treatment plan that combines the best of both approaches.
Our team includes nationally recognized OCD researchers, published authors, and clinicians who’ve shaped international treatment guidelines. But what truly sets us apart is that many of our ERP specialists have lived experience with OCD and anxiety disorders themselves.
This combination of clinical expertise and personal understanding means we genuinely comprehend what you’re experiencing. We’ve been in your shoes, and we know the specific path forward that actually works for OCD.
We also stay current with cutting-edge research and treatment innovations. Every therapist receives specialized training in ERP methodology, not just general anxiety treatment. This focus ensures you’re getting the most effective approach for OCD, delivered by someone who truly understands the condition.
We maintain complete transparency about our fees and treatment costs upfront. Most of our Mission clients use insurance benefits, and we’ll help you understand your specific coverage before starting ERP therapy.
The investment in specialized ERP therapy pays for itself when you consider the hidden costs of untreated OCD—lost work productivity, avoided opportunities, relationship strain, and years of ineffective treatments add up to far more than proper treatment.
We offer both weekly ERP sessions and intensive treatment programs to accommodate different budgets and schedules. During your initial consultation, we’ll discuss all options and help you choose the approach that makes financial sense for your situation.
Absolutely. We specialize in ERP therapy for all age groups, including children and adolescents throughout Mission and the surrounding Rio Grande Valley. Our approach adapts to each developmental stage while maintaining the core principles of effective OCD treatment.
For younger clients, we make ERP therapy collaborative and age-appropriate. Parents and families learn how to support their child’s recovery without accidentally enabling compulsions at home—a crucial component for lasting success.
Early intervention with proper ERP therapy is critical for young people with OCD. The sooner children and teens learn they can handle uncertainty without rituals, the better their long-term outcomes. We’ve seen remarkable transformations in young clients who receive the right treatment at the right time.
