OCD requires specific treatment called exposure and response prevention (ERP). Your advocate finds ERP-trained therapists, coordinates intensive outpatient programs for severe OCD, and ensures you get evidence-based treatment. They connect you with therapists who won't just tell you to stop your compulsions.
Body dysmorphic disorder and hoarding need specialized approaches. Your advocate finds BDD specialists who understand appearance obsessions, coordinates hoarding-specific therapy and home support, and ensures proper diagnosis. They help you get treatment for the specific type of disorder you have.
OCD affects everyone around you. Your advocate helps families understand accommodation versus enabling, coordinates home visits for hoarding situations, and connects families with their own support. They ensure your whole environment supports recovery.

With Solace, you get both a patient advocate and a supporting physician, which we refer to as your “care team”.
Your advocate will be there to manage the day to day aspects of your care: coordinating with doctors, researching potential solutions and communicating updates to you.
Your supporting physician can unlock resources for you and your advocate that might otherwise be out of reach.
Not all OCD involves visible rituals - Pure O causes mental compulsions like counting or praying that others can't see. Solace advocates help identify hidden mental rituals, find therapists who understand Pure O, and coordinate treatment for obsessions without obvious compulsions. They ensure intrusive thoughts are properly treated, help track mental compulsions for therapy, and validate invisible OCD struggles. Your advocate recognizes OCD in all its forms.
When OCD takes hours daily or hoarding makes your home unsafe, standard therapy isn't enough. Solace advocates coordinate intensive outpatient or residential OCD programs, arrange home-based treatment for hoarding, and ensure safety while addressing compulsions. They help with legal issues from hoarding, coordinate cleaning services with therapy, and support gradual exposure to feared situations. Your advocate provides comprehensive help for severe cases.
BDD makes you obsess about appearance flaws others can't see, leading to hours checking mirrors or avoiding people. Solace advocates find therapists who understand BDD isn't vanity, coordinate treatment that addresses both obsessions and depression, and help navigate plastic surgery requests appropriately. They ensure BDD is treated as OCD, not dismissed as low self-esteem, and support you through appearance-related distress. Your advocate understands the torture of perceived flaws.
Living with OCD means learning to resist compulsions daily, not achieving perfection. Solace advocates help you understand OCD as a medical condition, coordinate relapse prevention planning, and support gradual reduction of rituals. They celebrate small victories over compulsions, help identify new obsessions early, and ensure long-term support strategies. Your advocate helps you become stronger than your OCD.
