Catholic OCD Therapy is a website developed to provide information about obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) in a manner that is respectful of the Catholic faith and that integrates Magisterial teachings into professional and evidence-based practices offered in partnership with Veritas Psychology PLLC.
Although Veritas Psychology PLLC operates out of Illinois, it can provide information about OCD as well as diagnostic and psychotherapeutic support to treat OCD in 40+ U.S. states and territories through participation in PSYPACT.
Currently, individuals who reside in the following U.S. states and territories can receive such support:
Alabama, Arizona, Arkansas, Colorado, Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands, Connecticut, Delaware, District of Columbia, Florida, Georgia, Idaho, Illinois, Indiana, Kansas, Kentucky, Maine, Maryland, Michigan, Minnesota, Mississippi, Missouri, Nebraska, Nevada, New Hampshire, New Jersey, North Carolina, North Dakota, Ohio, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, South Carolina, South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas, Utah, Vermont, Virginia, Washington, West Virginia, Wisconsin, Wyoming.
An integrated Catholic approach combines the best of cognitive therapy (specifically designed for OCD) as well as exposure and response prevention (ERP) with a deep respect for Catholic teachings and traditions.
Treatment, however, is always tailored to each person and their unique needs and circumstances. The goal of treatment is to reduce symptoms, strengthen resilience, and restore freedom in daily life.
Veritas, meaning “Truth,” reflects the goal of therapy: to uncover what is true about OCD, what is true about the person, and what is true about God and His mercy. Join us in the pursuit of Truth!
