OCD & ANXIETY SUPPORT
Living with anxiety or obsessive-compulsive patterns can feel both relentless and isolating—a constant struggle between striving for control and yearning for peace. In therapy, Dr. Schroeder offers a compassionate space where clients can safely explore the roots of their worry, intrusive thoughts, and compulsive behaviors, while learning to relate to these experiences with curiosity rather than judgment. Drawing on insight-oriented approaches that explore grasping and avoidance, Dr. Schroeder integrates evidence-based methods such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT).
Through this integrated lens, anxiety and OCD are understood not merely as symptoms to be eliminated, but as signals of deeper imbalance—inner parts seeking safety, expression, and integration. Mindfulness, self-compassion, and somatic awareness help clients interrupt habitual cycles of fear and avoidance to invite a gentler dialogue with the mind’s patterns. In this process, the work extends beyond symptom relief toward cultivating a more grounded relationship with uncertainty, one that honors both the complexity and resilience of the human psyche.
Ultimately, therapy becomes a path of transformation: learning to meet the anxious mind with steadiness, to see beneath the surface of fear, and to live with greater freedom, authenticity, and calm.
