OCD treatment for Bedford patients
Finding an ERP therapist can be the hardest part of OCD treatment in and around Bedford. We help Bedford patients locate trained therapists, including those who offer video sessions, and we see students from Bedford High School, Ross A. Lurgio Middle School and McKelvie Intermediate School as well as adults.
Living in Bedford
Bedford families often balance demanding careers with busy school and activity schedules. Parents frequently contact us about anxiety, attention and pressure around academic performance, and many adults look for discreet, efficient care. Follow-ups by video fit well around commutes into Manchester.
Effective treatment
Exposure and response prevention (ERP), a specific form of CBT, is the leading therapy for OCD, and we help coordinate it with trained therapists. SSRIs are commonly used, often at higher doses than for depression, and take time to work.
Getting care from Bedford
From Bedford, our Salem office is about 35 to 40 minutes by car. Many Bedford patients choose secure video for most visits and come to Salem when an in-person appointment adds something.
