When Weekly Therapy Keeps Failing You

You’ve probably tried traditional therapy. Maybe you’ve sat through months of weekly sessions, talking about your OCD without seeing real change. You leave each appointment feeling hopeful, but by the next week, OCD has regained its grip on your life. Our four day intensive therapy for OCD and anxiety changes everything. Instead of spreading treatment over months, we compress the essential breakthrough work into four concentrated days. You’ll work with William Schultz, who understands your struggle because he’s lived it—and beaten it.

ERP Therapy Intensive Program

Why Concentrated Treatment Actually Works

Here’s what most therapists won’t tell you: weekly sessions give OCD time to regroup between appointments. You make progress in session, then spend six days losing ground before your next meeting. It’s like trying to climb a mountain by taking one step up and sliding back down each week. Our intensive approach eliminates that problem entirely. The Bergen method delivers exposure and response prevention therapy in concentrated doses, preventing OCD from regaining strength. International research proves this approach works better than traditional formats, with patients maintaining their gains years later.

Four Day Treatment Program

Exactly What Happens During Your Four Days

Day one isn’t about diving into your worst fears—it’s about understanding exactly what you’re facing and why this approach works. You’ll learn the science behind OCD and prepare for the intensive work ahead. Days two and three are where transformation happens. Think of them as one continuous treatment session interrupted only by sleep. You’ll receive individual attention within a small group setting, with constant therapist support as you work through carefully planned exposures. Day four focuses on taking your new skills home, with specific strategies for maintaining your breakthrough.

Common questions about Four Day Intensive Therapy For Ocd & Anxiety

Traditional weekly therapy gives OCD time to rebuild between sessions, which is why many people feel stuck making the same progress over and over. Our intensive format maintains continuous momentum over four days, preventing OCD from regrouping and regaining strength. You’ll complete the equivalent of months of weekly sessions in a concentrated timeframe, with constant professional support to guide you through challenging exposures. Research consistently shows this concentrated approach leads to faster, more durable results than spreading treatment over extended periods.
Our program uses the Bergen four-day method, developed by internationally recognized researchers and proven effective across multiple countries. Unlike other approaches, we maintain a 1:1 therapist-to-patient ratio while providing group support, giving you individual attention within a motivating peer environment. William Schultz brings both professional expertise as a recognized OCD researcher and personal experience as someone who lived with severe OCD for 10 years before achieving lasting recovery. This combination of proven methodology and lived experience creates uniquely effective treatment.
That fear is completely normal and shows you understand how challenging OCD recovery can be. You’ll never be surprised or forced into any exposure—day one involves thorough preparation so you know exactly what to expect. William understands your terror from personal experience and will never ask you to do anything he wouldn’t do himself. The intensive format actually makes exposures less frightening because you have constant professional support and can build confidence quickly rather than facing fears alone between weekly appointments. Most clients find the concentrated approach less scary than dragging exposures out over months.
Many people who struggled with weekly ERP sessions find breakthrough results with intensive treatment. The problem with traditional ERP isn’t the method—it’s the format. Weekly sessions often lose momentum between appointments, allowing OCD to rebuild its strength. Our concentrated approach prevents this backsliding by maintaining therapeutic intensity over four consecutive days. Even if previous therapy felt ineffective or you couldn’t complete exposure homework between sessions, the intensive format provides the structure and support necessary for lasting change.
The Bergen method has been studied extensively, with 70% of patients remaining recovered at 12-month follow-up—significantly higher than traditional treatment outcomes. Day four specifically focuses on maintaining your gains, teaching you concrete strategies for continuing your progress independently. You’ll learn how to handle setbacks, continue exposure practice, and recognize early warning signs. Family members receive education on supporting your recovery without enabling OCD behaviors. The intensive format actually creates more durable results because you experience such profound change in a short time that it becomes harder for OCD to convince you to return to old patterns.
While we’re an out-of-network provider, many insurance plans provide reimbursement for intensive outpatient treatment. We accept HSA, FSA, cash, and credit cards, and provide detailed superbills to help maximize your insurance benefits. The concentrated nature of our program often makes it more cost-effective than years of weekly therapy that may not deliver comparable results. Consider the cost of continuing to live with OCD—the time lost to compulsions, the opportunities missed, the relationships strained. Four days of intensive treatment is an investment in reclaiming your entire life.
