About Us: Westminster Obsessive Compulsive Disorder Therapy
Our Journey
Westminster Obsessive Compulsive Disorder Therapy (WOCDT) was founded in 2012 with a vision to provide comprehensive and accessible information on understanding and managing Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD). The site’s inception stemmed from the recognition of an urgent need for reliable, unbiased resources on OCD, a mental health condition often misunderstood and misrepresented.
Over the years, WOCDT has grown from a modest online platform to become a trusted resource for individuals seeking support, education, and guidance related to OCD. We take pride in our consistent efforts to deliver accurate, evidence-based content, ensuring that every visit is a step towards enlightenment and healing.
Our Mission and Values
Mission: To empower individuals affected by OCD and their loved ones by offering an extensive online hub filled with reliable information, support resources, and hope for recovery.
Core Values:
- Accuracy: We uphold the highest standards of accuracy in our content, ensuring every article, guide, and resource is backed by scientific research and expert consensus.
- Unbiased Information: WOCDT strives to provide neutral, non-biased perspectives, promoting a comprehensive understanding of OCD without promoting any particular treatment approach.
- Reliability: Our commitment to reliability means we regularly update our content to reflect the latest findings in OCD research and therapy.
- Supportive Community: We aim to foster a sense of community among visitors by encouraging open dialogue, peer support, and shared experiences through comments and forums.
Filling the Information Gap
The internet is rife with misinformation, especially when it comes to sensitive topics like mental health. WOCDT was created to address the lack of credible resources available for OCD, a condition that often leaves individuals feeling isolated and confused. We bridge this gap by offering:
- Easy-to-understand explanations of OCD symptoms, causes, and treatments.
- Personalized guidance for those seeking therapy or support groups.
- Success stories and recovery testimonials to inspire hope.
- Interactive tools and resources for self-assessment and monitoring progress.

Ensuring the reliability of our content is paramount to us. Every article is carefully crafted, reviewed, and fact-checked by our team of experts, including licensed psychologists and OCD specialists. We collaborate with renowned institutions and organizations in the mental health field to stay abreast of the latest research and best practices.
