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.

OCD care for Litchfield residents
OCD often hides behind long routines, repeated checking or reassurance-seeking that eats up the day. We see children and teens from Campbell High School as well as adults, and we work alongside ERP therapists so medication and therapy support each other.
Living in Litchfield
Litchfield is a small, growing town along the east bank of the Merrimack River between Hudson and Merrimack. Families value its farms, open space and Campbell High School, and most working adults commute to Nashua, Manchester or the Route 3 corridor.
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 Litchfield
From Litchfield, our Salem office is about 30 minutes by car. Many Litchfield patients use secure video for follow-ups and come to Salem when an in-person visit adds something.
