Obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) can create a cycle of unwanted thoughts, anxiety, and behaviors that can feel difficult to control. You may spend significant time worrying about whether something is “just right,” seeking reassurance, checking, avoiding certain situations, or engaging in repetitive behaviors to reduce anxiety. OCD can be exhausting and may interfere with relationships, work, school, and everyday life.
At Rachel Epifanio Counseling, we provide compassionate, individualized OCD therapy in Nashville, TN for children, adolescents, and adults. Our therapists provide a supportive, nonjudgmental environment where you can talk openly about your experiences and work toward developing healthier ways to respond to difficult thoughts and emotions.
OCD can take many forms, and symptoms can look different from person to person. Therapy can help you better understand your OCD, recognize patterns, and develop skills for responding to intrusive thoughts and anxiety in healthier ways.
Treatment may help with:
Intrusive or unwanted thoughts
Excessive worry and fear
Repetitive behaviors or compulsions
Checking and reassurance-seeking
Avoidance
Perfectionism and the need for things to feel “just right”
Relationship or family stress related to OCD
Anxiety related to intrusive thoughts
Our therapists take an individualized approach to treatment based on your specific concerns, experiences, and goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and other evidence-based approaches may be incorporated into treatment when appropriate.
We focus on creating a safe and supportive therapeutic relationship while helping clients develop greater confidence in managing anxiety, thoughts, and emotions.
OCD can affect people at any age. Children and teens may experience intrusive thoughts, rituals, reassurance-seeking, or avoidance that can affect school, friendships, and family life. Adults may find that OCD interferes with work, relationships, or daily responsibilities.
Our therapists work with clients across different stages of life and tailor treatment to their developmental needs.
