Obsessive Compulsive Disorder Institute of Greater New Orleans: Dr. Suzanne Chabaud

Unfortunately treatment that instructs people to “stop compulsive behavior” or stop thinking about a feared concern, or provides reassurance that a consequence will not happen are not sufficient to help people with OCD and often worsen the condition. We utilize evidence-based therapies of Exposure Response Prevention (ERP), Acceptance Commitment Therapy (ACT) and other approaches that supports implementation of mindfulness practice.
