Evidence-Based OCD Treatment
Perfectionism OCD Therapy in Indianapolis
Perfectionism OCD can make everyday decisions, responsibilities, and goals feel overwhelming, stressful, and never “good enough.” At Sommer Psychology Group, we provide evidence-based therapy for Perfectionism OCD, helping clients reduce obsessive doubt, overthinking, compulsive checking, reassurance-seeking, and fear of mistakes while building greater flexibility, confidence, and self-trust.
Perfectionism OCD often involves intrusive fears related to making mistakes, failing, disappointing others, being irresponsible, or not doing things “exactly right.” Individuals may spend excessive amounts of time checking work, rewriting, researching, reviewing decisions, mentally replaying conversations, seeking reassurance, or avoiding tasks altogether out of fear of imperfection or uncertainty.
Many people with perfectionism-related OCD experience intense anxiety around school, work, relationships, productivity, morality, or personal standards. Even small mistakes or uncertainty can feel deeply distressing, leading to chronic self-criticism, procrastination, burnout, or difficulty feeling satisfied with accomplishments.
Unlike healthy motivation or high standards, perfectionism OCD is often driven by obsessive doubt, fear, and compulsive attempts to gain certainty or prevent mistakes. These compulsive patterns may temporarily reduce anxiety, but they often reinforce the cycle over time.
Our therapists use evidence-based approaches including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP), Inference-Based Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (ICBT), and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT). Treatment focuses on helping clients better understand obsessive doubt and perfectionistic thinking patterns, reduce compulsive checking and reassurance-seeking, challenge fear-based reasoning, and develop healthier ways of responding to uncertainty, mistakes, and discomfort.
We offer Perfectionism OCD therapy in Indianapolis and secure online OCD therapy across Indiana.
