OCD Treatment Center
PCH Treatment Center stands out with its evidence-based approach to treating Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD), featuring one of the few specialized residential programs in the country. Our dedicated OCD Treatment Program includes Cognitive Therapy, Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP), and OCD-specific group therapies, supported by medication management, when appropriate. Our specialized staff of doctoral and master's level therapists are experts in OCD and anxiety-related issues, providing clients with a range of resources and treatments, including psychodynamic therapies, up to 100 weekly groups, and participation in the PCH Family Program. Recognizing OCD as a serious neuropsychiatric condition, our treatment is highly individualized, addressing each client's specific symptoms and their impact on daily life. Our core OCD program relies on ERP, the gold standard treatment, supplemented with Cognitive Therapy and pharmacological management as needed. We also address co-existing conditions like mood disorders, psychological trauma, and personality issues, which often accompany OCD. Family Involvement and Expert Guidance are central components of our programming. Christopher Mulligan, LCSW, Director

Obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) is a disabling, chronic neurobehavioral condition characterized by distressing, intrusive thoughts (obsessions), and/or repetitive, ritualistic behaviors (compulsions). Individuals with OCD report obsessions that include preoccupations with dirt or germs, worries that something harmful may befall them or others, fearing that a routine behavioral act such as locking the door or shutting off the stove was carried out incorrectly, as well as concerns with order and symmetry. Uncertainty and pathological doubt are central features of the disorder, as individuals with OCD display an impaired sense of knowing. Overestimation of danger and an inflated sense of responsibility are additional features of the disorder. Some patients are also concerned with fears of shouting obscenities in public. OCD sufferers struggle with the disorder for an average of 15 years before they find effective treatment. This is due in part to the limitations of conventional therapeutic approaches and the scarcity of therapeutic resources for OCD patients and their families Call or Email OCD Center at PCH now for a free 15 minute consultation - (888) 816-2369
