Exposure Response Prevention (ERP) & IFS-GUIDED ERP

Living with OCD often means battling with obsessions and compulsions, but also living with relentless doubt and entrenched self-criticism. These struggles can leave individuals feeling stuck in cycles that outsiders often overlook or misunderstand (especially when individuals battle with different subtypes of OCD and mental compulsions). Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) remains the gold-standard, evidence-based treatment for OCD, helping people break free from compulsive patterns and reclaim their lives.

IFS-GUIDED ERP

For those whose OCD is compounded by shame, trauma, or internal conflict, we also offer IFS-informed ERP. This integrative approach works with protective parts of the mind that resist exposure, gently addressing the fears and burdens driving OCD symptoms. By combining ERP with Internal Family Systems, clients can progress through treatment with greater self-compassion, reduced internal resistance, and more profound, lasting change.

JL Psychotherapy offers personalized treatment plans that may include Acceptance Commitment Therapy, IFS, and/or Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP), the gold standard for OCD treatment.
