Enhanced Outpatient Treatment Program for OCD
This program provides structured, evidence-based Exposure and Response Prevention at a level of care between traditional weekly therapy and intensive outpatient treatment.
Service frequency and components are tailored to each client’s clinical presentation and treatment needs following evaluation.
Important Insurance Note:
Insurance is accepted only for standard therapy sessions when medically appropriate. This structured Enhanced Outpatient Program is available through private pay only to ensure clinical flexibility and frequency required for effective treatment.
What Effective Treatment Requires
At least weekly ERP therapy
Daily exposure practice (~20 mins/day)
Ongoing response prevention in real-world situations
Consistent structure and accountability
Why specialized care?
For many, once-weekly therapy alone is not sufficient. Higher-frequency outpatient support bridges the gap between traditional therapy and inaccessible higher levels of care.
My approach integrates ERP, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), mindfulness, compassion-focused work, humor, and real-life practicality. I believe OCD treatment must be structured, consistent, and deeply supportive.
"OCD is not a lack of willpower. It is a brain attempting to protect you through compulsions. Retraining these patterns requires courage, repetition, and guidance."

Frequently Asked Questions
Still have questions? Take a look at the FAQ or reach out anytime.
-
ERP works by breaking the avoidance cycle that keeps OCD alive. You face the feared situation while resisting the urge to perform compulsions, and your brain learns the threat isn't real. This takes courage and repetition, but it rewires how your mind responds.
-
Effective OCD treatment typically requires at least weekly sessions, plus daily exposure practice on your own. Some people benefit from more frequent support, especially early on. We'll determine the right frequency during your evaluation based on severity and goals.
-
Once-weekly therapy alone often isn't sufficient for meaningful OCD progress. We can discuss flexible options, including higher-frequency packages or intensive programs that work with your schedule. The key is consistency and daily practice between sessions.
-
Insurance is accepted only for standard therapy sessions when medically appropriate. Structured OCD packages are private pay. In Nevada, some plans are accepted through Alma-supported networks. California clients pay privately for all services. We'll clarify your options during the evaluation.
-
The comprehensive OCD evaluation takes two hours and assesses severity, functional impact, and the right level of care for you. We discuss your OCD history, current struggles, and treatment goals to create a tailored plan that fits your needs.
