Single Outpatient Session for Anxiety/OCD

Single Outpatient Session: Targeted Support for Anxiety and OCD at The Scoggan Institute

At The Scoggan Institute, we understand that mental health challenges can be unpredictable. Sometimes, you may need additional support beyond your regular therapy schedule. Our Single Outpatient Session option offers focused support for individuals with anxiety or OCD who require a targeted intervention to address a specific issue or challenge.

When is a Single Outpatient Session Right for You?

A Single Outpatient Session can be beneficial in several situations:

  • Managing a Recent Trigger: If you’ve encountered a situation that has exacerbated your anxiety or OCD symptoms, a single session can help you develop coping strategies and regain control.
  • Skill Development: Need a refresher on a specific coping skill, like relaxation techniques or cognitive reframing? A focused session can help you refine your skills and ensure you’re using them effectively.
  • Pre-Event Support: Do you have an upcoming event that triggers your anxiety or OCD? A single session can equip you with strategies to manage your symptoms and increase your confidence.
  • Relapse Prevention Planning: If you’re experiencing a potential return of symptoms, a session can help you identify early warning signs and put your relapse prevention plan into action.
  • Post-Inpatient Transition: Are you transitioning out of inpatient treatment and need additional support before your next scheduled therapy session? A single session can bridge the gap and ensure continued progress.

What to Expect in a Single Outpatient Session:

  • Assessment: We’ll start by discussing your current situation and the specific challenge you’re facing.
  • Goal Setting: We’ll work together to identify a clear and achievable goal for the session.
  • Targeted Intervention: Depending on your needs, the therapist may utilize various techniques like:
    • Psycho-education: Providing information about your specific anxiety or OCD symptoms and triggers.
    • Skill Building: Practicing coping mechanisms to manage your symptoms effectively.
    • Cognitive Reframing: Identifying and challenging negative thought patterns that contribute to anxiety or OCD.
    • Exposure Therapy (for OCD): Briefly exposing you to a trigger in a safe and controlled environment to practice your coping skills.
    • Relaxation Techniques: Utilizing techniques like deep breathing or mindfulness meditation to manage stress and anxiety.
  • Relapse Prevention Planning: We may review your existing relapse prevention plan or develop new strategies to prevent future challenges.
