Reclaiming Your Life is Possible

Online Therapy for OCD and Anxiety

Serving Adults in California and New York

Life has become a daily battle with your thoughts and fears.

Let’s change that.

You are anxious and exhausted.

The daily mental aerobics and repetitive behaviors are keeping you from enjoying life. You’re stuck in your head, like an inescapable labyrinth. And it’s tiring. You judge yourself for having strange, scary, taboo, or even gross thoughts. You work endlessly to figure out how to stop and control them. You’re terrified of what you might not know and spend excessive amounts of time trying to ensure certainty. The relief is only temporary…. and so the cycle goes on.

At times it seems as though your mind is divided.

The rational part that knows better, and the irrational part that seems to always dominate. What you know to be illogical, feels so real or urgent in those challenging moments. You may feel foolish for having to do ordinary things in such an extraordinary way. You don’t want to be this way. It interferes with your life and ability to function each day. The chronic doubt and confusion make you lose trust in yourself.

You’re losing sight of the present moment.

Your mind is either reviewing the past or living in a future that hasn’t happened. This cycle prevents you from living the way you want. You’re unable to connect like you used to with the people and activities that matter. You’re in a constant state of internal chaos, often masked from those around you.

Relief is possible and YOU DESERVE IT.

You deserve to live your life without feeling consumed by doubt, fear, and distress. It’s possible to feel like you are no longer being held hostage by your thoughts. It’s possible to no longer rely on time consuming rituals and to feel better. You don’t have to be a pawn in your own life anymore.
