Treating OCD: A Comprehensive Clinical Training
Assessment, subtypes & evidence-based treatment — an 8-week live clinical training with a primary focus on Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP), the gold-standard treatment for OCD.
Payment plans available · Recordings included · No prior experience required
One of the most misunderstood conditions in clinical practice.
Obsessive-compulsive disorder is one of the most misunderstood and frequently misdiagnosed mental health conditions. Despite its prevalence, many clinicians receive limited training in recognizing OCD across its diverse presentations — or in delivering evidence-based treatment.
This 8-week training gives you a practical, evidence-based framework for assessing, conceptualizing, and treating OCD. You'll learn to recognize both overt and covert compulsions, differentiate OCD from commonly confused conditions, and identify it across both common and frequently overlooked presentations. The emphasis is on accurate assessment, differential diagnosis, and evidence-based treatment — with a primary focus on Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP).
You'll also be introduced to Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), mindfulness-based interventions, and Inference-Based CBT (I-CBT), including how these approaches can thoughtfully complement ERP. Through case examples, clinical demonstrations, and practical application, you'll build skills you can use in your work with clients.
By the end of the training, you'll have practical skills you can incorporate into your clinical work right away.
Built for clinicians at every stage.
This training is designed for mental health professionals who want to assess and treat OCD with confidence.
