Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) at House of Wellness

You are not your thoughts — and you are not alone.

OCD is often misunderstood, minimized, or portrayed inaccurately. But if you’re living with OCD, you know it can be consuming, exhausting, and deeply isolating. It’s not about being “neat” or “quirky.” It’s about intrusive, unwanted thoughts and the urgent need to neutralize them through compulsive behaviors or mental rituals.

At House of Wellness, we see you — and we take your experience seriously. Dr. Maniar provides compassionate, evidence-based support for individuals across California navigating the challenges of OCD. We create a judgment-free space where healing begins with understanding.

What Is OCD?

Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder is a mental health condition characterized by two key features:

Obsessions — Intrusive, persistent thoughts, images, or urges that cause anxiety or distress.

Compulsions — Repetitive behaviors or mental acts aimed at reducing the distress caused by obsessions.

This cycle can be incredibly disruptive and painful. Common themes include fears around contamination, harm, morality, health, religion, or a need for symmetry — but OCD can attach to anything.

Common Signs of OCD

Repeated handwashing, checking, or arranging

Intrusive thoughts you feel ashamed of

Mental rituals (e.g., counting, reviewing conversations, praying)

Avoidance of people, places, or situations

A feeling that something “bad” will happen unless a ritual is performed

Significant anxiety when things feel “off” or uncertain

You may know your thoughts are irrational — and still feel powerless to stop the cycle. That’s the nature of OCD. It’s not your fault, and it’s not something you can “just get over.”

Our Approach to OCD

Dr. Maniar offers a calm, respectful, and informed space for healing. While OCD is highly treatable, the right approach matters. Our care may include:

Diagnosis and psychoeducation

Medication management to help reduce symptoms

Coordination with Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) therapy, the gold standard for OCD treatment

Support for co-occurring conditions like anxiety or depression

We’ll help you better understand how your brain works — and how you can regain a sense of peace and control.

Freedom from OCD Is Possible

We know how real — and painful — OCD can be. We also know it’s possible to live a full, joyful life with the right support. At House of Wellness, you’ll never be dismissed, judged, or rushed. Just seen, heard, and supported with care that fits who you are.

Let’s work together to quiet the noise and reclaim your peace of mind.
