Related Conditions We Treat

Alongside OCD itself, Mind-U treats trichotillomania (compulsive hair-pulling), excoriation/dermatillomania (compulsive skin-picking), and hoarding disorder — conditions in the same clinical family, often overlooked by general treatment programs.

ERP Therapy: The Gold Standard

Exposure and Response Prevention is the leading evidence-based therapy for OCD, and it's a core part of treatment here, paired with individualized psychiatric medication management rather than therapy alone.

TMS for Severe OCD

TMS is available for OCD and other applicable conditions, starting in the third month of treatment. That timing reflects clinical calibration, not restriction — the first month of evaluation is what allows our team to target the specific brain regions each patient's treatment needs to address.

Diagnosed Elsewhere? We Evaluate Every Patient Ourselves

Even when a patient arrives with a prior OCD diagnosis from another provider, Mind-U's clinical team conducts its own evaluation before building a treatment plan — a diagnosis is never taken at face value, because getting it right from the start shapes everything that follows.

How Long Does Treatment Take?

Program length depends on severity; Mind-U offers a 35-day intensive, a 90-day comprehensive, and extended 6-month or 1-year options depending on the individual's needs.

Cost and Insurance

Mind-U is a private-pay program; many PPO plans offer out-of-network reimbursement, and our admissions team can help you understand what that looks like for your plan. See pricing and financing →
