OCD Anxiety Centers Richmond

For individuals ages 8 and older who need structured support beyond weekly therapy, OCD Anxiety Centers in Richmond delivers two levels of intensive outpatient care focused on obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) and anxiety-related conditions. The day treatment program (PHP) runs six hours per day while the intensive outpatient program (IOP) runs three hours per day, both Monday through Friday. The IOP spans 16 weeks at an 8:1 client-to-staff ratio, with 95% of clients able to use insurance.

Exposure-Based Care Across Two Levels

OCD Anxiety Centers specializes in exposure-based therapy, with exposure and response prevention (ERP) serving as the clinical foundation across both day treatment and IOP. IOP clients receive individual therapy with a primary therapist alongside exposure practice groups, specialty skills groups, process groups, and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills groups. Day treatment (PHP) adds monthly psychiatric appointments for medication evaluation and a family group offered up to twice weekly.

Daily Therapy and Family Involvement

IOP clients attend three hours of programming daily, completing exposure exercises, joining skills groups, and meeting with a primary therapist throughout the week. Day treatment (PHP) clients follow a six-hour daily schedule that includes structured group programming, clinician-guided ERP, one individual therapy session per week, and monthly psychiatric oversight. For youth clients, OCD Anxiety Centers runs parent support groups and parent DBT skills groups alongside treatment, with the program reporting a 64% average symptom reduction and a 79% recovery rate.
