Format & Objectives

  • Target audience

    This advanced consult series would best serve mental health clinicians who already have a working knowledge of CBT with ERP and have at least one current client with OCD and/or anxiety related disorders.

  • Logistics

    Before each meeting, participants will be asked to complete a reading or assignment on a concept that will then be discussed as a group. The remainder of the session will be spent on case consultation and planning to apply the concepts discussed. Participants will receive up to 8 CE Hours, which includes out of session homework time.

  • Modalities

    The trainer/consultant will reinforce evidence-based standards of care, with emphasis on integrating ERP with newer, third wave treatments such as Inference Based CBT (I-CBT) and ACT.
