Unwanted Thoughts Don’t Define You
If you struggle with intrusive, unwanted thoughts that cause anxiety, guilt, or shame, you’re not alone. OCD can feel relentless—your mind constantly bombarding you with fears, “what ifs,” or compulsions you can’t control. These thoughts can take over your day, affect your relationships, and make it hard to enjoy life. You might feel trapped in a cycle you don’t understand, frustrated with yourself for thinking things you “shouldn’t” think, or anxious that your thoughts mean something about you.

Evidence-Based Help for OCD
I’m Cade Causey, a pre-licensed counselor and Knoxville native, and I specialize in OCD treatment using ERP (Exposure and Response Prevention)—an evidence-based therapy proven to help people face intrusive thoughts without letting them control their lives. My approach also integrates cognitive-behavioral techniques and supportive, personalized guidance to help you gain control, reduce anxiety, and reclaim your freedom.

Finding Freedom from OCD
Through ERP, you’ll learn how to confront your intrusive thoughts safely, stop the compulsive behaviors that feed them, and realize that these thoughts do not define who you are. Many clients experience relief, confidence, and the ability to enjoy life again—without constantly feeling trapped by their mind.

I also know you might be thinking, “But what if this doesn’t work for me?” I’ve heard that alot! And I’ve likely heard many more of those kinds of thoughts. I’d love to talk with you about them.

Compassionate, Individualized Care
I’ve seen firsthand how isolating and exhausting OCD can be. My goal is to help you slow down, understand what’s happening inside your mind, and build lasting strategies to manage your thoughts. Together, we’ll focus on practical, evidence-based steps that give you real relief and hope.

About Me
I earned my Master’s degree in Counseling from Johnson University and my undergraduate degree from the University of Tennessee, Knoxville. Outside the office, I’m a husband and dad who loves sports and a good cup of coffee!
