OCD THERAPY HOBOKEN

Takeaway: At our practice, we specialize in helping individuals struggling with Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) and related anxiety disorders such as generalized anxiety disorder (GAD), social anxiety, panic disorder, and specific phobias. We tailor our approach to address the unique challenges presented by OCD and its associated symptoms.

 

However, we do not treat all disorders and if you are looking for therapy related to family therapy, eating disorders, bipolar disorder, substance abuse, medications, medication management or psychiatric care, our practice may not be the ideal fit. Additionally, while we work with young adults, we do not provide therapy for children under the age of 12. For mental health care in these areas, we recommend seeking professionals who focus specifically on those needs.
