Most people can’t overcome OCD on their own. I support and guide clients in learning the skills they need to control intrusive thoughts and anxious feelings so they can feel safe and live the life they want.

William Schultz Counseling

You keep having thoughts you don’t like. You can’t make them go away. They make you feel anxious.

These intrusive thoughts and anxious feelings hurt. They make it hard to live your life.

Some behaviors make the thoughts and feelings go away. But only for a little while.

Then another intrusive thought shows up.

This cycle leaves you feeling afraid, frustrated, and isolated.

You wonder:

“Will I be stuck with these thoughts, feelings, and behaviors forever?”

If any of this sounds familiar, then you're likely experiencing symptoms of obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD).

You’re not alone. Millions of people feel like you. Millions of people have OCD.

• I’m the president of OCD Twin Cities, a local non-profit and the Minnesota affiliate of the International OCD Foundation;
• I’m a recognized OCD researcher and my research was relied on by the International OCD Accreditation Task Force in crafting international knowledge and competency standards for specialized cognitive behavior therapy for adult OCD;
• My mental health practice is focused on supporting individuals overcoming OCD
  

OCD almost never goes away on its own. But OCD can be overcome. 

I can show you the way. 

How do I know this?

Because I lived with and overcame OCD.

I hope you’ll let me be your OCD guide:

Here are the basics:

• Our first step is understanding what OCD is, what causes it, and how it works. This includes seeing why your attempts to feel better haven’t helped.
• Next is learning about the new skills that will work for you. Learning these skills includes a detailed review of what the skills are, how they work, and how to use them.
• Third, we'll practice your new skills. Like any skill, it takes practice to master managing OCD. I’ll be there to guide and support you, step-by-step, throughout the process (you can learn more about these skills by clicking here).
  

As you master your skills, you’ll gain control intrusive thoughts and anxious feelings so you can feel safe and live the life you want.

So, how do you overcome OCD?
