Effective Treatment Options for Anxiety and OCD at The Scoggan Institute

At The Scoggan Institute, we understand that anxiety and OCD manifest differently in everyone. That’s why we offer a variety of evidence-based treatment programs designed to address your specific needs and help you manage your symptoms effectively. Our personalized approach combines individual therapy with additional resources and support systems to empower you on your journey to recovery.

Individual Therapy

The foundation of our treatment programs is individual therapy. You’ll work closely with a therapist who specializes in anxiety disorders and OCD to develop a personalized treatment plan tailored to your unique circumstances and goals. Our therapists utilize a variety of evidence-based approaches, including:

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT): CBT is a highly effective approach for anxiety and OCD. It helps you identify and change negative thought patterns and behaviors that contribute to your symptoms. Through CBT, you’ll learn coping skills to manage difficult emotions, challenge unhelpful thinking patterns, and develop a more balanced perspective.
Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP): This therapy is specifically designed for OCD and is considered the gold standard treatment. ERP involves gradual exposure to situations that trigger your obsessions while resisting the urge to engage in compulsive behaviors. Over time, this reduces anxiety and fear associated with the obsessions.
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT): ACT teaches you to accept difficult thoughts and feelings without getting caught up in them. It helps you develop psychological flexibility and live a values-driven life, even in the presence of anxiety or OCD symptoms.
Mindfulness-Based Therapies: These therapies help you become more aware of your thoughts and feelings without judgment. By increasing your self-awareness, you can learn to respond to situations more effectively and manage stress in a healthy way.

Additional Support Systems

In addition to individual therapy, we offer a range of resources and support systems to enhance your treatment experience, including:

Support Groups: Connecting with others who understand what you’re going through can be incredibly helpful. Our support groups provide a safe and supportive space to share your experiences, learn from others, and reduce feelings of isolation.
Educational Workshops: We offer workshops on various topics related to anxiety and OCD, such as managing stress, developing coping skills, and building healthy relationships. These workshops can provide valuable information and tools to support your recovery journey.
Mindfulness and Wellness Activities: We believe in the importance of self-care and offer resources to help you incorporate mindfulness and healthy habits into your daily life. This may include yoga, meditation classes, or recommendations for relaxation techniques.

Developing a Personalized Treatment Plan

During your initial consultation, you’ll meet with a therapist to discuss your symptoms, goals, and treatment preferences. Based on this assessment, your therapist will develop a personalized treatment plan that incorporates the most effective approaches for your specific needs. This plan may include individual therapy sessions, participation in support groups or workshops, and recommendations for self-care practices.

Treatment Options Tailored to Your Needs

While we offer a variety of evidence-based therapies, some individuals may benefit from more specialized treatment approaches. Here are some additional programs we provide:

Intensive Outpatient Programs (IOPs): For individuals seeking a higher level of care, we offer intensive outpatient programs (IOPs) that provide more frequent therapy sessions and group support.
Body Dysmorphia Therapy: We recognize that body dysmorphia (BDD) can co-occur with anxiety and OCD. We have therapists experienced in treating BDD who can help you challenge negative beliefs about your appearance and develop a more positive body image.

Taking Control of Your Life

At The Scoggan Institute, we are committed to providing you with the tools and support you need to manage your anxiety and OCD symptoms and live a fulfilling life. We believe in the power of evidence-based treatment and the importance of a personalized approach.
