Exposure and Response Prevention Therapy

"There is no normal life that is free of pain. It's the very wrestling with our problems that can be the impetus for our growth."

— Mr. (Fred) Rogers

Are there fears in your life that you can’t seem to control? Is it difficult to regulate your emotions and responses to certain stimuli or situations? Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) Therapy is an evidence-based treatment that alleviates anxious or compulsive responses during stressful situations.

ERP Therapy can help through challenges, including:

  • Fears and phobias

  • Complex anxiety disorders

  • Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD)

What is Exposure and Response Prevention Therapy?

ERP is a behavioral therapy that includes gradually exposing an individual to situations that are designed to provoke a person's obsessions or fears in a safe environment. ERP is fundamentally about shifting the orientation of unpleasant thoughts and feelings, not about getting rid of them.
