Specialized Treatment for OCD, Anxiety & Eating Disorders

If you struggle with unwanted, upsetting thoughts and feelings, you’re not alone and you’re in the right place. Here at the Center for the Obsessive Mind, we offer specialized care for those struggling with OCD, Anxiety, Eating Disorders and other mental health issues.

When people come to see us, they are desperate to change their thoughts and feelings. And these mental experiences do change, because everything changes over time. But the fact that we have thoughts and feelings is a non-negotiable part of having a mind. And since individuals with mental illness have highly intelligent, creative minds, they have to navigate more off the wall thoughts. And so the internal experiences that they despise also reflect some very worthwhile traits.

So, what we’re saying is that we can’t change the fact that thoughts and feelings arise, and we don’t want to change the fact that you have a wide array of them. If that’s the case, then what do we do when they come up?

A lot of approaches are problematic. For instance, arguing with thoughts in order to change feelings doesn’t work. Likewise, trying to stop thoughts makes them come up more. Ultimately, taking thoughts and feelings as truths makes you a slave to your brain – a creative though unreliable organ.

So what’s the alternative? Our OCD, Anxiety & Eating Disorder specialists can help you navigate your obsessive mind. When you consider what thoughts and feelings your brain is offering you with curiosity, your thoughts and feelings are no longer in control. Then you can choose to act based on what matters most to you. Instead of being under the control of your mind, you get to live on your own terms. In short, you get your power back and that’s exactly what we’re here to help you do.
