Groups & Support

Connection and support alongside specialized care.

OCD and anxiety can be isolating. Our groups create space to connect with others who understand, keep practicing what helps, and build support around the work you're already doing.

Current Groups & Programs

Different groups serve different purposes.

Some groups offer connection and support alongside OCD treatment. Others are part of a more structured treatment program. Here's what we're currently offering.

OCD Support Adults Virtual

Adult OCD Support Group

Who it's for: Adults who are currently receiving or have previously received evidence-based OCD treatment such as ERP or I-CBT.

A weekly space for adults with OCD to connect with people who understand, talk openly about the ups and downs of recovery, and strengthen the skills they are already practicing in treatment.

Why Groups?

Group support can add something individual therapy can't quite recreate.

Individual treatment can be incredibly important. So can being around people who understand parts of the experience from the inside.

Being understood.

Spend less time explaining and more time connecting with people who recognize parts of what you're going through.

Feeling less alone.

OCD and anxiety can be isolating. Hearing someone else say something familiar can make an experience feel a lot less lonely.

Learning from each other.

Other people's questions, setbacks, insights, and successes can offer perspectives that are difficult to recreate one-on-one.

Not Sure What Fits?

You don't need to sort it out before reaching out.
