You’ve tried managing the obsessions and compulsions on your own. You’ve maybe even worked with therapists who meant well but didn’t specialize in OCD. The result? Months or years of frustration with little real progress.
Here’s what changes when you work with OCD specialists who use proven methods. Your intrusive thoughts lose their power over you. The compulsions that once consumed hours of your day become manageable, then minimal. You start making decisions based on your values, not your fears.
You’ll discover that those thoughts you’ve been fighting don’t define you. With the right treatment approach—whether that’s ERP, ACT, or I-CBT—you learn to live fully despite uncertainty. Irving residents are finding freedom from OCD symptoms that once seemed impossible to overcome.
We bring together nationally known researchers, published clinicians, and advocates—many with lived experience of OCD themselves. This combination gives you access to both cutting-edge treatment methods and deep empathy for what you’re experiencing.
Irving’s diverse community deserves specialized care that honors every individual’s cultural background and unique needs. We serve children, adolescents, and adults through secure telehealth and in-person appointments, meeting you exactly where you are in your journey.
What sets our practice apart is complete transparency about the treatment process, fees, and what you can realistically expect. No thought is too taboo, no experience too confusing to share safely here.
Your treatment begins with a thorough assessment that identifies your specific OCD patterns and determines which evidence-based approach will work best for you. This isn’t one-size-fits-all therapy—it’s precision treatment designed around your particular symptoms and goals.
If ERP is recommended, you’ll gradually face feared situations while learning to resist compulsions, with your therapist guiding every step. For those who prefer I-CBT, the focus shifts to understanding how obsessional doubts form and correcting the reasoning errors that keep them alive. ACT approaches help you engage in meaningful activities despite the presence of obsessive thoughts.
Throughout treatment, you’ll track progress using validated measures, ensuring you’re moving toward real recovery rather than just temporary symptom management. Our intensive four-day option accelerates this process for those who need faster results or have tried traditional weekly therapy without success.

Whether you’re dealing with harm OCD, contamination fears, symmetry and orderliness compulsions, or postpartum OCD, our treatment approach is tailored to your specific presentation. Irving families find relief knowing their children, teens, and adults can all receive age-appropriate care from the same specialized team.
We offer both virtual and in-person sessions, recognizing that Irving’s busy professionals and families need flexibility in how they access care. For those with severe symptoms or previous treatment failures, our intensive programs provide the concentrated support needed for breakthrough progress.
Irving’s multicultural community benefits from clinicians who understand how OCD intersects with different cultural backgrounds and family systems. Treatment plans respect your values while challenging the disorder that’s been limiting your life. You’ll also have access to family education and support, because OCD affects entire households, not just individuals.
Most people begin noticing changes within the first 4-6 weeks of consistent treatment, though meaningful improvement often becomes more apparent by 8-12 weeks. The timeline depends on several factors including symptom severity, how long you’ve had OCD, and which treatment approach works best for you.
ERP therapy often shows faster behavioral changes as you learn to resist compulsions, while I-CBT may take slightly longer as it focuses on changing the underlying thought patterns that create obsessional doubts. Some Irving residents benefit from our intensive four-day format when they need accelerated progress.
Remember that recovery isn’t linear—you’ll have good days and challenging days throughout the process. What matters is the overall trajectory toward freedom from OCD’s control over your daily life.
ERP (Exposure and Response Prevention) involves gradually facing feared situations while learning to resist performing compulsions. It’s highly effective and works by teaching your brain that the feared consequences of not doing compulsions don’t actually happen.
I-CBT (Inference-based CBT) focuses on the reasoning errors that create obsessional doubts in the first place. Instead of exposures, you learn to identify when your mind crosses from reality into imagination and how to trust your senses and direct experience.
ACT (Acceptance and Commitment Therapy) helps you engage in meaningful activities despite having obsessive thoughts. Rather than fighting the thoughts, you learn to have them while still living according to your values. Your therapist will help determine which approach aligns best with your preferences and symptoms.
Yes, we provide specialized OCD treatment for children, adolescents, and adults. Childhood OCD often looks different from adult presentations, and our treatment approaches are adapted to be developmentally appropriate while remaining highly effective.
For Irving families, this means your child works with clinicians who understand how OCD affects school performance, friendships, and family relationships. Parents receive education about how to support their child’s treatment without accidentally reinforcing compulsive behaviors.
Teen treatment often focuses on helping adolescents understand that their intrusive thoughts don’t reflect their character while building skills to manage OCD symptoms independently. Family involvement is typically an important part of successful treatment for younger clients.
We treat all forms of OCD, including harm obsessions, contamination fears, symmetry and orderliness compulsions, postpartum OCD, religious/moral scrupulosity, relationship OCD, and health anxiety. Each type requires specific understanding and treatment modifications.
Harm OCD, which involves unwanted thoughts about causing injury, requires therapists who understand these thoughts are the opposite of your true intentions. Postpartum OCD affects new mothers with intrusive thoughts about their babies and needs immediate, specialized intervention.
Irving residents dealing with cultural or religious themes in their OCD find therapists who respect their beliefs while addressing the disorder. The key is working with specialists who recognize that OCD can attach itself to anything you value most—and know how to help you reclaim those areas of your life.
Intensive treatment makes sense when weekly therapy hasn’t provided sufficient progress, when OCD symptoms severely interfere with work or relationships, or when you need faster results due to life circumstances. Our four-day intensive format can accomplish what might take months in traditional weekly sessions.
Irving professionals often choose intensive treatment when they can’t afford extended time away from work, or when they’ve tried multiple therapists without success. It’s also appropriate when OCD has become so severe that daily functioning is significantly impaired.
The decision depends on your specific situation, symptom severity, and treatment history. During your initial consultation, we’ll discuss whether intensive treatment or traditional weekly sessions would be most effective for your recovery goals.
Research shows that virtual ERP and other OCD treatments can be just as effective as in-person therapy when delivered by trained specialists. Many Irving residents actually prefer the convenience and comfort of receiving treatment from their own homes.
Virtual treatment works particularly well for certain types of OCD, and your therapist can guide you through exposures using your home environment. This can actually be advantageous since you’re practicing skills in the places where you’ll use them most.
We offer both options so you can choose what works best for your schedule, comfort level, and specific treatment needs. Some people start with virtual sessions and transition to in-person, while others prefer the consistency of one format throughout their treatment journey.
