This is for you if...
This is for you if...
-
※
You’re at a loss for how to manage the intensely distressing, repetitive, unwanted thoughts that seem to crash into your mind like a lightning bolt of urgency.
The thoughts are completely contrary to your values, which causes immense distress and self-doubt. The more you try to push them away, the stronger they become.
-
※
You doubt everything you do and feel trapped in your own mind, unable to escape the constant cycle of relentless, distressing thoughts and the compulsions that follow them.
The thoughts cause you shame and make you doubt your character. You can’t risk sharing these thoughts with anyone, even those closest to you. Yet you feel unable to stop fixating on the thoughts, because they target the things you care about the most. -
※
You feel imprisoned to your
compulsions and rituals —
they feel like the only escape from the fear, guilt, or dreaded consequence.You think these attempts will stop the pain, and they might…temporarily...
but only until the next time OCD strikes. This becomes a never-ending cycle that feels life-consuming. -
※
You feel as if no amount of reassurance or action is ever enough
to quiet the anxiety and fear.
It’s like being at war with yourself —battling thoughts you desperately don’t want, but you feel intensely compelled to respond to. -
※
You worry that your intrusive thoughts define you — that you are somehow responsible for the dark, unwanted images and fears that flood your mind.
The shame feels unbearable, making you question your morality and worth.
You may live in constant fear of being "found out," believing that if others knew the thoughts you battle daily, you would be shunned or abandoned.
-
※
You are plagued with constant doubt, often about safety, morality, your identity, or making the “right” decisions.
"What if?" is infused into every aspect of life. You feel unable to trust your own mind. You check and recheck, ask for reassurance repeatedly, or question your own memories and decisions, yet no answer ever feels satisfying.

What’s inside the Program…
Why am I the one to help you?
Hi. I’m Tamara Harrison.
Helping others break free from the obsessive-compulsive prison is my passion and life’s work.
I've spent years learning from the top OCD experts in the country, gaining the best training and education to truly understand what works. But more importantly, I’ve helped hundreds of people just like you break free from obsessions and compulsions so they can take back their lives. I know how overwhelming it can feel, but I also know firsthand that real change is possible—and I’m here to help you get there.
I know what it’s like to feel imprisoned by your mind - I have a personal history of OCD that dates back to childhood, and I have struggled with almost every theme under the sun. Recovering from OCD through my own ERP treatment has given me my life back and gives me so much confidence in the work I do for my clients. I can confidently say that I no longer meet criteria for OCD, no longer suffer from obsessive thoughts, and no longer engage in compulsions. I love offering this same hope to those I treat.

"Finding Tamara was nothing short of a miracle. I came to her in a time of true desperation, feeling completely lost in the depths of OCD—a disorder I have battled my entire life. Before working with her, I had spent too much time in traditional talk therapy, unknowingly using it as a space to ruminate, seek reassurance, and endlessly analyze my intrusive thoughts. I didn’t realize that this cycle was actually fueling my suffering - and was my MENTAL COMPULSION.
Tamara changed everything. She helped me truly understand my disorder for the first time and gave me the tools to step out of the patterns that had kept me trapped for so long. Through her guidance, I was able to say my intrusive thoughts out loud and recognize how common my struggles were. She led me to a support group where, for the first time in my life, I didn’t feel alone. That moment was life-changing."

"Prior to getting help, OCD had worked its way into every facet of my life. Hit and run OCD meant that I was constantly gripped by the anxiety that I had hit someone. When walking downtown, I would redouble my route every time I stepped on a pebble to make sure it wasn’t a syringe. Fears of contamination and unintended harm plagued me everywhere I went. My family was exhausted. I was exhausted. Getting help for my OCD has given me my life back.
The techniques learned in therapy have allowed me to make incredible progress. ERP, running a scenario to its conclusion, and finding and accepting the possibility of core fears, among other strategies, are a set of tools that have allowed me to re-engage with the world. It wasn’t always easy and I still fight the battle, but I’m equipped to do so, and that’s a great feeling."

"With Tamara’s support, along with medication, I’ve learned how to navigate flare-ups so they don’t consume me the way they once did. The lows don’t last as long, and I have more moments of clarity and peace than I ever thought possible. Tamara’s expertise, compassion, and unwavering support have not only helped me heal but have also given me the strength to reclaim my life.
I will never stop working with her because I genuinely don’t know where I would be without her. She has been a godsend, a life-changer, and in many ways, she has saved me. I am endlessly grateful for her presence in my life.
I won’t say I’m fully healed—this is a lifelong journey—but I can confidently say that I’m in a better place than I’ve ever been.

"Before connecting with Tamara living with OCD was terrifying and all encompassing. The future felt hopeless. However, she gave me the tools, information and courage to take my life back.
Tamara is compassionate, so incredibly knowledgeable and easy to talk to. There’s nothing you can say about your experiences with OCD that will shock her. My time with Tamara has been life changing in the very best way."-Kiara L.

“Tamara’s guidance through ERP therapy has helped to completely transform my life. Before therapy I was living in a prison of OCD and anxiety. With ERP I have been able to start living a life I had only dreamed of.

"Tamara is truly amazing! I came to her desperate for help with an extremely overwhelming phobia and she helped me work with the obsessions safely and kindly at a pace I was comfortable with. I was terrified to do exposure therapy but she was so knowledgeable and safe and encouraging.
Each session left me more confident and calm than ever before, her help has improved many aspects of my life and I no longer struggle with the fear. Tamara is a genuinely wonderful and caring professional and I’m so lucky to have found her!”

"I had a sudden breakdown that left me stuck in OCD obsessive thoughts and compulsions for 12+ hours a day. It took a few years of difficult work, but with Tamara’s guidance I have completely recovered.
I am now in full remission with rare episodes. She saved my life. I know I will always have symptoms or bad days sometimes, but I don’t fear them because I know I will get through them now with the tools she helped me acquire. Tamara is an amazing therapist and person and I can’t recommend her enough.”

Frequently Asked Questions
-
Nope, you definitely don’t need a diagnosis! You simply have to be at a point where you feel that intrusive thoughts, and the things you do to deal with them, get in the way of living a value-filled life.
-
I will teach you all about ERP and ACT, which are cognitive-behavioral techniques specifically designed for obsessive-compulsive symptoms. It involves gradually exposing yourself to feared thoughts, situations, or triggers while resisting compulsive behaviors. It is the gold standard technique we have for helping this issue.
ERP helps retrain your brain by teaching it that anxiety and discomfort will naturally decrease over time without needing to perform compulsions.
-
Although I’m obligated to say that results vary from person to person, I know that with consistent practice, individuals typically start to see improvement in symptoms and reduced distress within a few weeks.
-
No, ERP is a gradual process. I will work with you to create an individualized hierarchy of exposures, starting with easier ones before progressing to more challenging situations.
-
Obsessive-compulsive symptoms can fluctuate, but continuing to practice ERP skills helps prevent relapses and maintains progress.
Spoiler alert: You will learn to live with any thoughts, no matter what they are, without them bothering you. The yucky ones will become quieter, less distressing, less frequent, and won’t get in the way of living your life!
-
If you experience distressing intrusive thoughts and feel compelled to engage in rituals (mental or physical) to relieve anxiety, this program is designed to help break this cycle. 🙌🥳
If you still have doubts, book a free call with me to talk it out 🙂
-
Yes! In fact, talk therapy may have made things worse for you up until now.

It helps you live your life without compulsions and fear getting in the way. The teachings in the program work where traditional talk therapy fails.
-
Nope, this isn’t Fear Factor :) I believe in challenging fear in a structures and manageable away.
The goal is to gradually build confidence and tolerance to fears over time.
My promise is that I will never ask someone to do something I wouldn’t personally do myself.
-
It’s normal to feel increased anxiety at first - anything new has the potential to be a little scary, but you can trust that my approach is individually tailored and gentle.
With practice, your brain learns that you can tolerate distress without engaging in compulsions!

Who is this program for?
This might be for you if…
✔ You struggle with obsessions and compulsions: If you struggle with intrusive thoughts and compulsive behaviors that interfere with your daily life, this program may help.
✔ You're ready to face your fears gradually: You’re sick of suffering and you’re ready to practice resisting compulsions. You’re open to change, even if it feels scary.
✔ You feel stuck in an obsessive-compulsive cycle: If avoidance, reassurance-seeking, or compulsions are making your world smaller, this program can help break that cycle and regain control.
✔ You want a structured, science-backed approach: This program uses approaches that are evidence-based and highly effective for reducing obsessions and compulsions.
✔ You’ve tried other treatments, but they haven’t worked: If traditional talk therapy or medication alone hasn’t helped, this program can provide direct, action-based methods to target obsessions and compulsions quickly.
✔ You’re finishing an intensive (IOP or PHP) program and you want support as you step down; or, you need more support than weekly therapy, but don’t need or want to enter into IOP or PHP.
This is not for you if…
✖ You're in crisis or experiencing severe distress: If you are dealing with intense emotional distress, severe depression, or suicidal thoughts, immediate crisis support or stabilization may be needed before starting ERP.
✖ You’re looking for a passive or quick-fix solution: ERP is active and requires consistent practice. Progress takes time, and commitment is key.
✖ You are experiencing a mental health condition that needs addressed before starting this program (Severe trauma, substance use disorders, major depressive disorder, suicidal /self harm behaviors, etc.) Since this is not individual mental health therapy, please know that I am not able to treat you for mental health concerns in this program.
✖ You’re looking for individual therapy. This is not individual counseling in any way; rather this is a skills-based program that is not intended to diagnose or treat a mental health disorder. If you’re looking for individual therapy, please reach out to me separately by contacting me on my therapy webpage.
