OCD treatment for Exeter patients
Finding an ERP therapist can be the hardest part of OCD treatment in and around Exeter. We help Exeter patients locate trained therapists, including those who offer video sessions, and we see students from Exeter High School and Cooperative Middle School as well as adults.
Living in Exeter
Exeter is a historic town with a busy downtown, a well-known academy and many residents who commute to Portsmouth or Boston. Families often reach out about teen stress and attention, and adults about anxiety and sleep. The drive to Salem is about 35 to 40 minutes.
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 Exeter
From Exeter, our Salem office is about 35 to 40 minutes by car. Many Exeter patients choose secure video for most visits and come to Salem when an in-person appointment adds something.
Frequently asked questions
How long do OCD medications take?
