Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) –

Take Back Control

Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) is a chronic and often distressing condition marked by unwanted, intrusive thoughts (obsessions) and repetitive behaviors (compulsions) that interfere with daily life. While some individuals may experience both obsessions and compulsions, others may only struggle with one set of symptoms.


OCD can consume significant time, create intense anxiety, and diminish quality of life—but it is highly treatable. At Life InSight, we provide evidence-based therapy to help individuals manage OCD, reduce symptoms, and regain a sense of control.

Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) is characterized by a recurring pattern of unwanted thoughts and fears known as obsessions. These obsessions can compel individuals to engage in repetitive behaviors, referred to as compulsions, disrupting daily activities and causing considerable distress. The symptoms of OCD can encompass both obsessions and compulsions, though it's possible to manifest one set of symptoms without the other. Whether or not individuals are aware of the irrational nature of their obsessions and compulsions, these symptoms can consume a significant amount of time, diminish the quality of life, and interfere with daily routines. Individuals suffering from OCD can also feel shame and embarrassment; however, it is important to recognize that these symptoms are not a reflection of who you are but rather, symptoms of a treatable condition. At Life InSight, we understand the challenges of living with OCD, and we’re here to help you regain control over your life.

OCD involves a cycle of obsessions and compulsions that create anxiety and distress

Common Obsessions (Unwanted, Persistent Thoughts or Fears)


  • Fear of contamination or germs
  • Unwanted aggressive or harmful thoughts toward oneself or others
  • Intrusive thoughts about symmetry, order, or exactness
