OCD treatment for Pelham patients
Finding an ERP therapist can be the hardest part of OCD treatment in and around Pelham. We help Pelham patients locate trained therapists, including those who offer video sessions, and we see students from Pelham Elementary School, Pelham Memorial School and Pelham High School as well as adults.
Living in Pelham
Pelham keeps a small-town feel between Salem, Hudson and the Massachusetts line. Many residents work in Lowell or Nashua, so it helps that our Salem office is about 15 minutes away and that video visits can be done from home in New Hampshire.
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 Pelham
Our office at 215 South Broadway in Salem is about 15 minutes from Pelham, so in-person visits are practical. Many Pelham patients come in for the first appointment and use secure video for follow-ups.
