Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder is a mental health condition characterized by persistent, intrusive thoughts (obsessions) and repetitive behaviors or mental acts (compulsions) that an individual feels compelled to perform. At Valencia Relationship Institute, we recognize the unique challenges that individuals with OCD face, and our therapists are trained to address a range of OCD conditions, including:
OCD (Obsessive Compulsive Disorder)
Contamination OCD: Individuals with contamination OCD experience intense fears related to germs, dirt, or contamination. This can lead to compulsive cleaning, washing, or avoiding certain places or objects.
Checking OCD: Those with checking OCD have persistent fears of harm or danger, leading them to repeatedly check things like doors, locks, or appliances to ensure safety.
Symmetry and Ordering OCD: This subtype involves a preoccupation with order, symmetry, and exactness. Individuals may feel compelled to arrange objects or perform specific actions to achieve a sense of balance.
Hoarding OCD: Hoarding involves an excessive difficulty discarding possessions, regardless of their actual value. This can lead to clutter and significant distress for the individual.
Pure-O OCD: Purely Obsessional OCD, or Pure-O, is characterized by distressing, intrusive thoughts without observable compulsions. These thoughts often center around fears of harm, unwanted impulses, or taboo subjects.
Controlling or Checking Thoughts OCD: Individuals with this form of OCD may experience persistent, unwanted thoughts related to harm, violence, or inappropriate actions, leading to compulsive mental rituals or reassurance-seeking behaviors.
