You’re exhausted from battling intrusive thoughts that hijack your day. Our specialized OCD treatment in Amarillo, TX doesn’t just manage symptoms—it breaks the cycle that keeps you trapped.
Through proven exposure and response prevention therapy, you’ll discover something powerful: you don’t need to eliminate anxiety to live freely. You need better tools for responding when OCD demands your attention. That’s exactly what we teach.
Most clients experience meaningful relief within weeks, not years. You’ll work with clinicians who combine cutting-edge expertise with genuine understanding—many who’ve walked this path themselves and emerged stronger.
We bring internationally recognized treatment to the Texas Panhandle. Our team includes published researchers who’ve shaped global OCD treatment guidelines and advocates who’ve transformed how we understand these conditions.
Here’s what sets us apart: many of our clinicians have lived experience with OCD or anxiety disorders. This isn’t just clinical training—it’s personal understanding of what you’re enduring and genuine belief in your ability to recover.
In a region where specialized mental health care is scarce, we’re filling a critical gap. We serve Amarillo and surrounding communities with both secure telehealth and in-person appointments, ensuring geography never prevents you from accessing life-changing treatment.

Next, we design your personalized treatment using exposure and response prevention therapy, the gold standard proven to help 80% of people with OCD. You’ll gradually face fears in a controlled environment while learning to resist compulsions that keep the cycle alive.
We offer the flexibility Amarillo residents need: weekly sessions, intensive four-day programs, virtual care, or in-person treatment. Throughout, we’re completely transparent about timelines, what to expect, and how we measure progress together.

We treat all forms of OCD affecting Amarillo families: harm OCD therapy, contamination fears, symmetry and orderliness compulsions, postpartum OCD help, and the intrusive thoughts others might not understand. Our I-CBT for OCD and ACT for obsessive thoughts approaches adapt to your specific needs.
In the Texas Panhandle, too many people suffer in silence, often waiting years before finding effective help. The average person with OCD waits 17 years between first symptoms and proper treatment—we’re here to change that reality for Amarillo residents.
Our innovative intensive programs serve those who need concentrated intervention or haven’t found success elsewhere. We also provide family education and support, recognizing that OCD affects everyone who loves you.
Exposure and Response Prevention therapy helps about 80% of people with OCD experience significant symptom reduction—far more effective than general counseling approaches. ERP works by directly targeting the fear-avoidance cycle that maintains OCD, teaching you to face triggers without performing compulsions.
The key difference is specialization. Many Amarillo residents have tried general therapy without success because OCD requires specific treatment protocols. Our clinicians are extensively trained in ERP and other evidence-based approaches, understanding exactly how to adapt techniques to your particular symptoms and triggers.
Success with ERP isn’t about eliminating all anxious thoughts—it’s about changing your relationship with them so they no longer control your life.
We treat every subtype of OCD, including harm OCD (unwanted thoughts about hurting yourself or others), contamination fears, symmetry and orderliness OCD, postpartum OCD, religious scrupulosity, and taboo sexual or violent intrusive thoughts. No thought is too disturbing or embarrassing.
Many Amarillo residents worry their specific OCD is “too weird” or severe, but we’ve successfully treated thousands of cases across all presentations. Whether your compulsions are visible (checking, cleaning, arranging) or mental (counting, reviewing, seeking reassurance), we have proven approaches.
What matters isn’t the content of your obsessions—it’s the pattern they create in your life. That’s what we target with treatment.
Yes, we provide secure telehealth throughout Texas, including comprehensive virtual ERP therapy for Amarillo residents. Many clients prefer online sessions because they can practice exposures in their natural environment where OCD symptoms typically occur.
Virtual treatment is equally effective as in-person therapy for most people with OCD. We use HIPAA-compliant platforms and can safely guide you through exposure exercises from your home. This is especially valuable in the Texas Panhandle where specialized OCD care has been historically limited.
You get access to nationally recognized expertise without travel barriers, wait times, or geographic limitations that have kept quality treatment out of reach.
Most people see meaningful improvement within 12-20 sessions of specialized ERP therapy, with some noticing changes in just a few weeks. Timeline depends on symptom severity, how long you’ve had OCD, and your commitment to practicing techniques between sessions.
We also offer intensive four-day treatment programs for those needing concentrated intervention or who haven’t responded to weekly therapy. These programs can accomplish in days what might take months in traditional settings.
Unlike general therapists who treat many conditions, our OCD specialization means we often achieve results more efficiently. We’re always upfront about expected timelines based on your specific presentation and goals.
Our team includes internationally recognized researchers who’ve helped develop global OCD treatment standards and written foundational books in the field. Many staff members have personal experience with OCD or anxiety disorders, creating understanding that goes far beyond academic training.
We focus exclusively on anxiety and OCD disorders, unlike general practitioners. This specialization means we stay current on cutting-edge research and treatment innovations. We offer treatment intensities unavailable elsewhere in the region—from weekly sessions to intensive programs.
Most importantly, we create a stigma-free environment where no thought is too taboo. You’ll finally work with clinicians who truly understand what you’re experiencing and believe completely in your ability to recover.
Absolutely. Postpartum OCD affects up to 16% of new mothers and often involves terrifying intrusive thoughts about harming your baby, excessive checking behaviors, or contamination fears. These thoughts are distressing precisely because they contradict your deepest values as a parent.
We provide specialized postpartum OCD help that’s safe during pregnancy and breastfeeding. Our approach includes education to help you understand these intrusive thoughts are symptoms of a treatable condition, not reflections of your character or intentions as a mother.
Treatment focuses on reducing compulsions while preserving your bond with your baby. We often involve partners and family members when appropriate, ensuring your entire support system understands how to help your recovery.
