Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD)

You’re Not “Overthinking” — Your Brain Is Stuck in a Loop. We Can Help.

OCD isn’t just about being neat, organized, or having quirks. It’s a deeply distressing cycle of unwanted thoughts and compulsive behaviors that can feel impossible to escape. If you find yourself trapped in endless rituals, mental checking, or intrusive thoughts that won’t go away — you are not alone, and you are not to blame.

At Alleviant Integrated Mental Health, we understand the real impact OCD can have on your life. We also know that with the right care, healing is possible — not just symptom management, but true freedom from the cycle.

What Is OCD?

Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder is a chronic mental health condition characterized by:

  • Obsessions – Repetitive, intrusive, and distressing thoughts, images, or urges that feel uncontrollable

  • Compulsions – Behaviors or mental acts done in response to obsessions, often performed to relieve anxiety or prevent something “bad” from happening

These cycles can become exhausting, time-consuming, and emotionally overwhelming. And yet, they often feel impossible to stop without support.

Common OCD Themes

  • Contamination fears (germs, chemicals, illness)

  • Checking (doors, stoves, health, memory)

  • Symmetry and exactness

  • Religious or moral scrupulosity

  • Harm obsessions (fear of causing harm to self or others)

  • Intrusive violent, sexual, or taboo thoughts

You are not your thoughts. You are not your compulsions. You are someone who deserves understanding and evidence-based care.

How We Treat OCD at Alleviant

We offer comprehensive psychiatric care tailored to the unique way OCD affects your brain and body. Our model is rooted in Objective Psychiatry, using brain data to inform treatment decisions and track progress.

With spectral EEG (sEEG) brain mapping, we’re able to visualize your brain’s electrical activity — providing the first true “vital sign for the brain.” This allows us to identify dysregulated patterns and build a targeted, personalized care plan.

Medication Management

Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitors (SSRIs) are often the first line of pharmacological treatment for OCD. Our providers offer careful medication management with regular assessments to optimize response.

Specialized Therapy (ERP & CBT) (In-Person or Telehealth)

We offer Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) — the gold-standard therapy for OCD — as well as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). These approaches help reduce compulsions and transform your relationship with obsessive thoughts.

Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS)

TMS is FDA-approved for OCD and uses magnetic pulses to regulate hyperactive areas of the brain linked to obsessive thoughts and compulsive behaviors. We also offer Personalized rTMS (NeuroSync™) — an off-label, EEG-guided version of TMS tailored to your brain’s unique activity patterns.

Spectral EEG (sEEG)

A fast, gel-free brain scan that shows how your brain is functioning. This real-time data helps us tailor your treatment and monitor neurological improvement.

Health Coaching (Telehealth)

Because OCD affects the body as well as the mind, our certified health coaches play a vital role in your recovery by addressing nutritional imbalances that may worsen symptoms, toxic exposures (like mold, heavy metals, or chemicals) that affect mental health, and deficiencies in essential nutrients, sleep, or lifestyle habits. We help build a foundation of wellness that supports your brain’s ability to heal and adapt.
