Our broad goal––of course––is “the end of unnecessary suffering.” Sound about right? While we all strive for this, I specialize in helping folks with a very-unique kind of suffering: OCD. I can tell you that few people understand the pain and complexity of OCD—(even most therapists). I will listen intently to your unique story. Just know that I can introduce you to an arsenal of tools that can help: mindfulness, ERP (exposure and response prevention) and on and on. Yes, thoughts can be “sticky.” But––with hard work––if (or when) those thoughts come back around…they can be as quiet & as harmless as a yellow post-it.
New Inspiration Counseling is a dedicated, and highly-trained group of professionals—COMMITTED to bringing you (and your loved ones) from desperation, to inspiration!
In most cases, insurance can help with the cost of treatment—even though we're out-of-network providers! Your PPO might help; HMO's don't. (We break it all down at our website.) For the answers to all your questions – and to get started – it's better to NOT email us: Instead, you can learn more and launch your intake - right now - at www.newinspiration.org
