In-Home Therapy for Anxiety & OCD

Home Visitation: Tailored Anxiety and OCD Treatment in Your Comfort Zone

At The Scoggan Institute, we understand that sometimes anxiety and OCD can make venturing outside the home challenging. That’s why we offer comprehensive home visitation services for OCD and anxiety treatment, bringing our expert care directly to you. This personalized approach allows you to receive effective treatment in a familiar and comfortable environment.

What is Home Visitation?

Home visitation involves a licensed therapist from The Scoggan Institute visiting your home for scheduled therapy sessions. This service is ideal for individuals struggling with anxiety or OCD who find it difficult to attend traditional outpatient appointments due to:

  • Severe anxiety: Fear of leaving the house or public places might make attending in-clinic sessions overwhelming.
  • OCD compulsions: Obsessions or compulsions related to leaving the house or being in unfamiliar environments might hinder traditional therapy.
  • Physical limitations: Mobility issues or physical disabilities might make traveling to the clinic challenging.
  • Time constraints: Busy schedules or difficulty arranging transportation might present logistical barriers.

Benefits of Home Visitation

Receiving treatment in your own home offers several advantages, including:

  • Increased Comfort and Safety: Feel more relaxed and in control during therapy sessions in your familiar surroundings.
  • Reduced Anxiety: Eliminate the stress associated with traveling to the clinic, allowing you to focus on treatment.
  • Exposure Therapy Opportunities: With your therapist, you can gradually address anxiety triggers within your home environment, promoting safe and controlled exposure.
  • Family Involvement: Family members can easily participate in sessions when needed, fostering a more collaborative approach to managing anxiety and OCD.
  • Personalized Treatment Plan: The therapist can observe your daily routines and living environment, tailoring the treatment plan to address specific challenges in your home.

What to Expect During a Home Visitation Session

The therapist will work closely with you to establish a comfortable and confidential space for your sessions. Here’s a general outline of what to expect:

  • Initial Assessment: During the first visit, the therapist will discuss your anxiety or OCD symptoms, their impact on your daily life, and your treatment goals.
  • Psycho-education: The therapist will provide information about anxiety and OCD, allowing you to gain a better understanding of the conditions.
  • Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP): This evidence-based therapy approach might be used to gradually face anxiety triggers in a safe and controlled manner.
  • Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT): The therapist can help you identify negative thought patterns and develop healthier coping mechanisms to manage anxiety and OCD symptoms.
  • Relapse Prevention Planning: The therapist will collaborate with you to develop strategies to manage anxiety and OCD symptoms effectively and prevent future flare-ups.

  • Find attending in-clinic sessions too difficult or stressful
  • Prefer a more personalized treatment approach in their own environment
