ERP and OCD Intensive
For the loop that keeps asking for one more check, one more answer, one more moment of certainty. Andrea is certified in ERP (Exposure and Response Prevention).
The Cycle
When Reassurance Never Stays
Intrusive thoughts can attach themselves to what matters most. Checking, rumination, avoidance, and asking for reassurance may bring momentary relief, only for doubt to return.
This work may address contamination fears, relationship OCD, health OCD, perfectionism, and other obsessive-compulsive patterns. The focus is on understanding what keeps your particular cycle going, without judging the content of your thoughts.
A Different Relationship with Uncertainty
Living With Uncertainty
The work helps you practice living meaningfully without needing absolute certainty first.
The Work Together
What Your Intensive Includes
Map the Cycle
Identify triggers, obsessions, feared outcomes, compulsions, avoidance, and ways others may be drawn into the loop.
Plan Exposures
Build a personalized exposure hierarchy that reflects your fears, priorities, and readiness.
Practice a New Response
Use Exposure and Response Prevention to approach uncertainty while reducing the rituals that keep OCD reinforced.
Is This a Fit?
You recognize an obsessive-compulsive pattern and want protected time to understand and practice changing your response to it. The consultation helps determine whether this outpatient format suits your needs.
The Practical Details
Before You Book
A $100 consultation is required before any intensive. The $100 is credited in full toward your first paid session or intensive.
Intensives have a separate deposit and cancellation policy, disclosed before booking.
To attend an ERP/OCD intensive by telehealth, be physically located in Texas, Colorado, or Idaho for the session. Some ERP/OCD intensives can be arranged in person in Austin, with details reviewed during consultation.
Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
Will you tell me my fear cannot happen?
ERP does not rely on absolute reassurance. The work centers on practicing a different response to uncertainty.
Do I have to do the hardest exposure first?
No. You and Andrea build a personalized hierarchy and consider a clinically appropriate starting point.
Can this address mental rituals?
Yes. Rumination, mental reviewing, and reassurance seeking can all be part of the OCD cycle you map together.
