obsessive-compulsive personality disorder treatment
obsessive-compulsive personality disorder treatment for adults and adolescents
At Galen Hope, we meet you with expertise and warmth. If perfectionism, rigid standards, and a need for control eclipse your joy or strain your relationships, there is a path forward. Our compassionate, evidence-informed care helps adults and teens enhance their flexibility, enhance self-compassion, and build connection—without losing their strengths or values. We’re accredited and led by a multidisciplinary team dedicated to sustainable, whole-person recovery.
what is obsessive-compulsive personality disorder?
OCPD is a personality pattern characterized by a persistent preoccupation with order, perfectionism, and control—often at the expense of relationships. People with OCPD make exhaustive lists, rework tasks repeatedly, avoid delegating, and become overly focused on rules or moral standards. These traits can bring short-term success but long-term stress, conflict, and burnout.
Obsessive-Compulsive Personality Disorder (OCPD) often shows up as inflexible standards, overcommitment to work or tasks, and distress when things don’t go “exactly right.” In our programs for adults and teens, we help clients understand how those patterns formed, practice new ways of thinking and relating, and reconnect with the people and pursuits that make life meaningful. Families are partners in the process whenever helpful, because real recovery exists in community.
our approach to obsessive-compulsive personality disorder treatment
Healing OCPD is about expanding flexibility and choice. At Galen Hope, we integrate cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) to challenge rigid core beliefs and perfectionistic rules, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to build psychological flexibility and values-led action, and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness. Schema therapy and psychodynamic/relational approaches help address early learning and self-criticism, while motivational interviewing (MI) supports readiness for change. Group therapy, family involvement, and real-life practice in community settings help translate insights into everyday habits.

obsessive-compulsive personality disorder faqs
how is obsessive-compulsive personality disorder different from ocd?
OCD involves intrusive, distressing obsessions and repetitive compulsions performed to reduce anxiety; these symptoms are unwanted. OCPD is a long-standing pattern of perfectionism, control, and inflexibility that often feels “right” to the individual, even as it creates problems. People can have either condition—or both—but the treatment focus and goals differ. In OCPD care, we emphasize flexibility, self-compassion, and healthy relational patterns.
what are the common symptoms of obsessive-compulsive personality disorder?
Common features include strict perfectionism, overfocus on roles or lists, reluctance to delegate, excessive devotion to work or productivity, and difficulty discarding items. Individuals are often highly self-critical and struggle to relax or prioritize pleasure. Interpersonally, they may appear controlling or rigid, leading to conflict and isolation. Many clients also report decision paralysis and chronic stress.
how does obsessive-compulsive personality disorder affect daily life?
OCPD can slow productivity through perfectionistic “redoing,” create tension at home and work, and make transitions or shared decision-making difficult. Vacations or unstructured time may feel uncomfortable rather than restorative. Over time, rigidity can narrow a person’s world, impacting parenting, friendships, partnerships, and health. Treatment helps expand their world through skills practice and gradual, supported change.
what therapy works best for obsessive-compulsive personality disorder?
Research and clinical consensus support integrative care. CBT targets unhelpful beliefs (“mistakes are unacceptable”), ACT builds flexibility and values-driven action, DBT strengthens emotion regulation and relationship skills, and schema therapy works with longstanding critical and perfectionistic tendencies. Family and couples sessions can improve communication and reduce conflict, and group therapy offers real-time practice.
what challenges do people with obsessive-compulsive personality disorder face day-to-day?
Many people face decision-making delays, conflict around control and standards, and difficulty delegating or trusting others’ methods. Self-care and rest may feel “unearned,” fueling burnout. When plans change, anxiety or irritability may spike. Treatment focuses on tolerating “good enough,” sharing control, and creating a kinder inner voice.
what’s the difference between an inpatient vs. outpatient treatment center?
Inpatient care provides 24/7 structure and is typically used when safety, medical monitoring, or stabilization is needed. Outpatient care offers intensive therapy while clients live at home or in supportive housing, helping them practice skills in real life. Galen Hope offers outpatient care with community integration from our Florida centers, blending clinical care with hands-on support.
how can I help a friend or family member with obsessive-compulsive personality disorder?
Start by listening with empathy and avoiding debates about the “right” ways to do things. Encourage professional help and offer practical support. Involve yourself in family sessions if appropriate, and celebrate progress, not just outcomes. Patience and consistent boundaries make change safer and more sustainable.
does galen hope take insurance?
Yes. Galen Hope accepts insurance for mental health and eating disorder treatment. We are in-network with ComPsych, Claritev (formerly called Multiplan), Aetna, and Optum/UnitedHealthcare plans. We also work with many out-of-network insurance providers and offer benefit verification to help you understand your options.
What insurance plans does Galen Hope accept for eating disorder and mental health treatment?
Galen Hope is currently in-network with ComPsych, Multiplan, Aetna, and select Optum/UnitedHealthcare plans. Through our Optum contract, we may also be able to work with commercial plans such as UnitedHealthcare, AvMed, and Oscar. We also support many clients through out-of-network benefits with providers like Blue Cross Blue Shield (BCBS), Cigna, First Health, and others. To determine how your specific plan may apply to treatment, please contact us for a complimentary insurance verification.
Can I use out-of-network insurance to pay for treatment at Galen Hope?
In some instances, we can accept out-of-network (OON) as full payment while in others, we provide a scaled partial payment. This may also be connected with your out or pocket max, as well as co-pays and co-insurance. The degree to which out of network benefits cover the full cost of treatment varies greatly from policy to policy. In some instances it can serve as full payment, while others may cover a portion. In all cases, individuals using out of network benefits will be subject to paying their out-of-network deductible and other fees such as the out of pocket max, co-insurance or co-pays as dictated by your insurance policy.
Does Galen Hope help verify insurance benefits for treatment?
Absolutely. We offer free insurance benefit verification to help you understand what your policy may cover before you begin treatment. We aim to provide full transparency around coverage and any potential out-of-pocket costs.
Can I get a Single Case Agreement (SCA) for treatment at Galen Hope?
When clinically indicated and appropriate, we pursue Single Case Agreements (SCAs) to help families access in-network-level coverage with an out-of-network provider. Our team advocates on your behalf and provides clinical documentation to support the request. We encourage you to call us so that we can determine if a SCA is warranted.
What happens if my insurance stops covering treatment early?
If your insurance coverage ends unexpectedly and we believe the denial of care is not in your best clinical interest, our team will work directly with your insurance carrier to appeal the decision. You will receive timely notification of any changes in authorizations for care in order to explore financial options and clinical recommendations to help minimize any disruption in care.
How can I find out what my insurance covers for eating disorder or mental health treatment?
Our admissions team will assess your insurance policy, the recommended level of care, and your treatment location to give you a clear understanding of what your plan is likely to cover. We’ll guide you every step of the way.
Are insurance benefits different depending on where I live?
Yes. Insurance coverage may vary by state and plan type. We consider your plan’s regional requirements when evaluating your benefits.
Will I know my treatment costs before starting at Galen Hope?
Yes. Before admission, we’ll walk you through all anticipated costs, including what insurance is likely to cover and any out-of-pocket expenses, so there are no surprises.
Can Galen Hope help me understand my insurance coverage?
Yes. Our experienced admissions team will break down your policy, explain your mental health or eating disorder benefits, and help you make the most informed decision possible.
