Specializes in Clinical Psychology

Don't think "cure": Therapists who use hypnotism might employ that tool - along with others - to treat symptoms of ocd. Meds may also be advised. These are mental health practitioners, not hypnotists. Most mental health problems can be treated well - even gotten beyond - but few are thought of as cured. Severe ocd is serious & hard to treat but good therapists can help significantly. Ask your md for a referral.
