OCD & ERP THERAPY IN LAFAYETTE, LOUISIANA

Evidence‑based help for obsessive‑compulsive disorder with the KDH Counseling team. In‑person in Lafayette and telehealth across Louisiana.

If you live with obsessive‑compulsive disorder (OCD), your brain won’t stop serving up “what if?” thoughts about harm, contamination, morality, health, or a million other themes. The anxiety can be crushing. Compulsions (checking, washing, repeating, seeking reassurance, mental reviewing) bring brief relief but lock you deeper into the cycle. You’re not broken, and you’re not alone. With the right treatment, OCD is treatable.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
What is ERP and how long does it take?

ERP is a structured therapy that helps you face triggers without rituals so your brain learns new safety signals. Many clients notice change within 4–6 weeks; full courses often run 12–20+ sessions depending on severity.

Do you treat Harm OCD, religious scrupulosity, or taboo thoughts?

Yes. Intrusive thoughts of any content respond to the same process. We treat the pattern (obsessions → anxiety → compulsions), not the content.

Will I be forced into exposures I’m not ready for?

No. ERP is collaborative and paced. We start with doable steps and build confidence.

Can medication help OCD?

For some clients, yes. We can coordinate with your prescriber or our in‑house medical provider to discuss options.

Do you offer telehealth?

Yes. We provide secure telehealth for Louisiana residents when clinically appropriate.

 

Is this different from general talk therapy?

Yes. ERP is an active, skills‑based treatment specifically designed for OCD. Many clients who didn’t improve in supportive therapy make strong gains with ERP.
