OCD Therapy Livingston, NJ
At A and J Behavioral Health, we work with children that have obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD). Our OCD therapy in Los Angeles, CA, helps patients find relief from their symptoms and develop healthier patterns of behavior. Children with OCD may display a range of symptoms. These include:

- Preoccupation with Bodily Waste
- Fear of Illness or Harm
- Preoccupation with Lucky & Unlucky Numbers
- Intrusive Words & Sounds
EFFECTIVE THERAPY FOR OBSESSIVE-COMPULSIVE DISORDER
OCD treatment focuses on exposure and response prevention. Children are taught to let their anxiety and obsessive thoughts pass through them without engaging in rituals or compulsions. Family involvement is important as well, as OCD symptoms often make an individual feel isolated. In many cases, behavioral therapy in conjunction with a serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SRI) medication is highly beneficial.
Contact us to schedule OCD counseling for your child. Our team of compassionate therapists is here to provide your child with the highest level of treatment. We look forward to meeting you and your child.

At A and J Behavioral Health,
We Believe:
- Every child is unique, and therefore the strategies we use to help each child and their family is individualized.
- Learning is fun and should not feel like work at a young age! We make every child feel special as they are learning and prospering with the family.
- Skills taught must be functional for the child and family.
- Teaching in the child’s natural environment with the family as a team promotes generalization (true learning) for the child and the family.
- AJB works with children of all ages and conducts psychological evaluations for diagnosis, if the parent requests. At AJB we believe learning is limitless like your child.
