Understanding OCD
Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) involves unwanted, persistent thoughts (obsessions) and repetitive behaviors or mental acts (compulsions) that are difficult to control. These behaviors can take up a lot of time, cause significant distress, and interfere with daily life. OCD is frequently misdiagnosed as anxiety resulting in many people not receiving the right type of care. At Beyond the Couch Counseling we make sure to match you with a therapist that has experiences in this area so that you receive the proper approach.
