If you’ve tried therapy before and didn’t feel better, it may not be because you “didn’t try hard enough.” Many people with OCD never receive the right kind of treatment.

The International OCD Foundation’s America’s OCD Care Crisis report found that 95% of people with OCD in the U.S. do not receive ERP, even though it is the gold-standard, evidence-based therapy. Instead, many receive talk therapy that can unintentionally strengthen reassurance-seeking, avoidance, and compulsions. (Source: | iocdf.org)

ERP works differently — it helps you face fears, reduce rituals, tolerate uncertainty, and retrain the brain’s alarm system.

At Allay Wellness Center, our therapists are specially trained in ERP and OCD-informed treatment.

💚 There is an approach that works —and you don’t have to figure it out alone.

If OCD feels louder during the holidays, you’re not failing - you’re human. More people, more expectations, more responsibility = more opportunity for OCD to show up. And that doesn’t mean you should opt out or wait until you “feel better.”

ERP teaches you how to participate while anxious, so OCD doesn’t run the season.

At Allay Wellness Center we help children, teens, and adults navigate OCD through the most triggering times of year. You don’t have to put your life on hold for OCD.

OCD is more than cleaning or organizing — it can show up in surprising ways.
💭 Mental checking or replaying thoughts
💬 Asking for reassurance over and over
📏 Needing things to feel “just right”
❤️ Worrying about being a “bad” person
🚫 Avoiding triggers to feel safe

OCD thrives on uncertainty — but it’s treatable.
At Allay Wellness Center, our therapists are specially trained in ERP, the gold-standard treatment for OCD and anxiety.

💚 Healing begins with awareness and taking the first brave steps.

Exposure and Response Prevention. A specific and very helpful form of therapy. Visit us at our office in West Bloomfield or virtually. Exposure and response prevention is designed to gradually reduce the anxiety that feeds obsessions and compulsions. One way in which this is thought to happen is through a process called habituation, which people become less physiologically aroused by triggering stimuli or obsessions after being repeatedly and safely exposed to them.
Further, individuals with OCD, anxiety, phobias, or eating disorders learn over time that the stimuli, thoughts, and feelings that prompt compulsions are more bearable than they anticipated. They also realize that being exposed to their fears does not actually lead to the outcomes they dread. They come to recognize that they are capable of coping with the triggers without resorting to compulsive rituals.
Exposure and response prevention can help people manage anxiety-provoking or obsessive thoughts and behavior. It involves two steps:
Individuals are directly exposed to stimuli that generally evoke fear, distress, obsessive thoughts, or compulsive, ritualistic behavior (exposure component).
They learn therapeutic techniques to help prevent their usual maladaptive response; as a result, they get accustomed to experiencing a trigger but not giving in to the compulsion—this is the response-prevention component.
