Break the Cycle of OCD

OCD is more than just habits or routines. It involves persistent, unwanted thoughts (obsessions) and behaviors performed to reduce anxiety (compulsions). Over time, this cycle can disrupt daily life, relationships, and emotional well-being. Through OCD therapy, you can begin to interrupt these patterns and develop healthier ways to respond to distress.

Our approach to OCD therapy in Fayetteville and Rogers is grounded in research-backed methods. And, when appropriate, we may integrate medication management into your comprehensive treatment plan. We always personalize care to fit your needs and help you gradually face fears, reduce compulsions, and build lasting resilience.

REAL PATIENTS

Scott E.
Dawn Martin is an amazing and patient therapist. She agreed to accept me as her patient and allow my then wife to join a few sessions to work on communications. My now ex-wife was so disrespectful not only to me, but to Dawn that she had to ban my ex-wife from the building but agreed to keep seeing me. I was in an emotionally, mentally, verbally and physically abusive marriage (yes, women do those things too), and the only one who ever witnessed and believes that part of my ex-wife is Dawn. She has been so supportive throughout this entire ordeal and helped me realize that I’m not actually in the twilight zone.
Dominique C.
I love this place, love the people, and will continue to come here for years to come.
Krystal U.
I am a patient of Dr. Chapman and highly recommend her for medication services. She has given me excellent care and has helped my mental health tremendously with her expertise. I am so thankful to meet with her and have her guidance on treatment! She is very personable and thorough, I feel that I am in very good hands with her.
Astrid L.
I've been seeing Kathy Jordan for years and she has been an amazing therapist to say the least. I can confidently say her treatment has altered thr course of my life for the better!
Chelsea L.N.
I have been seeing Dr. Chapman forever and I just think she is very competent and knowledgeable about her practice. I have also seen a few therapists in the office. Matt at the Rogers location was incredible, but then I tried to switch to a woman - I don’t remember her name, and she said one of the most offensive and upsetting things she could have possibly said. I’m still giving this place 5 stars though because I do really like Dr. Chapman. She always tries hard to get me the right medications despite my insurance being a huge pain. And because my former therapist Matt was one of the best therapists I’ve had.
Hailey B.
I’ve been going here for about 5 years, and it’s been a tremendous hand in helping me navigate my life mentally. Knowledgeable staff and comforting environment
