- Persistent intrusive thoughts or unwanted mental images
- Repetitive rituals (checking, cleaning, counting) you feel compelled to perform
- Significant distress when trying to resist compulsions

Our 4-Step Approach to Therapy
At Magenta Therapy, we believe in making therapy simple, supportive, and effective. Our process is designed to guide you step by step toward growth and healing.
Understanding Your OCD
We start by carefully learning about your thoughts, compulsions, & triggers, ensuring you feel understood in a safe space.
Building Your Plan
Together we design a personalized ERP and CBT-based plan tailored to your unique OCD symptoms and lifestyle.
Practicing ERP Skills
You’ll learn to face fears gradually and reduce compulsions through guided exposure, supported by your therapist every step of the way.
Strengthening Long-Term Change
Over time, you’ll gain confidence, build resilience, and learn lasting strategies to manage OCD & regain control of your life.
How Therapy Helps
OCD can feel overwhelming, but it is highly manageable with the right support.
At Magenta Therapy, we specialize in ERP therapy, the gold standard treatment for OCD. ERP helps you confront fears without engaging in compulsions, breaking the cycle of anxiety and avoidance. Combined with CBT strategies, you’ll learn healthier ways to respond to intrusive thoughts, regain confidence, and feel more in control of your daily life.
