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.

OCD treatment for Concord patients
Finding an ERP therapist can be the hardest part of OCD treatment in and around Concord. We help Concord patients locate trained therapists, including those who offer video sessions, and we see students from Concord High School and Rundlett Middle School as well as adults.
Living in Concord
As the state capital, Concord has a large share of people working in government, healthcare and professional offices, many with fixed schedules and limited leave. Families in Penacook, the Heights and the South End often prefer short video follow-ups at lunchtime or after school, with an occasional drive down I-93 when an in-person visit is useful.
Intrusive thoughts
Having intrusive thoughts does not mean you want to act on them. It is a recognized feature of OCD and responds to treatment.
Getting care from Concord
From Concord, our Salem office is about 50 minutes south on I-93 by car. Many Concord patients choose secure video for most visits and come to Salem when an in-person appointment adds something.
