Revolutionary OCD and Anxiety Treatment to Launch
The track will provide gold-standard ERP treatment in-person starting late October 2025, with virtual care statewide for children, teens, and adults.
Anxiety disorders impact a significant portion of the population, with nearly one in five adults in the U.S. affected annually. Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) is among the most troubling, influencing about one in 40 individuals throughout their lives. Many living with OCD experience serious daily impairments, making accessible treatment critically important. Until now, New Jersey families facing these challenges have lacked in-network, specialized intensive treatment options that meet their needs. Existing programs often require out-of-pocket payments, denying many individuals the quality care they require.
Innerspace Counseling is taking a bold step forward to fill this void in mental health care. As a prominent provider of primary mental health treatment in New Jersey, the practice will introduce the state’s very first in-network, in-person, and virtual Intensive Outpatient and Partial Hospitalization Programs (IOP & PHP) dedicated solely to OCD and Anxiety Disorders, featuring Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) treatment come late October 2025. This new track aims to enhance the practice’s strong array of services while reaffirming its mission to promote holistic wellness for all individuals. By focusing on children (ages 8+), teens, and adults, Innerspace Counseling ensures a pathway to lasting healing and wellness.
"For too long, families and providers have been challenged in locating affordable and accessible ERP treatment for OCD and anxiety in New Jersey," remarked Ajita Shah, LPC, NCC, ACS, the CEO and Founder of Innerspace Counseling. "Our upcoming program is designed not only to satisfy superior clinical standards but also to eliminate obstacles to care by collaborating with major insurers."
The upcoming OCD & Anxiety Track at Innerspace Counseling will offer evidence-based treatment options customized for individuals grappling with obsessive thoughts, compulsive behaviors, panic attacks, phobias, and other related anxiety concerns. This initiative runs congruently with Innerspace Counseling’s well-established General Mental Health Track, which employs Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT). The new OCD and Anxiety Track integrates ERP—recognized as the premier evidence-based approach for OCD—alongside Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), cognitive-behavioral interventions, and family education.
Research indicates that ERP is the gold-standard for treating Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder and associated anxiety disorders. Numerous studies reveal ERP’s capacity to instigate significant reductions in OCD symptoms when contrasted with placebo or minimal intervention frameworks. Major organizations, such as the American Psychological Association and the International OCD Foundation, advocate for ERP as the leading evidence-backed method for combating OCD.
