Virtual OCD/OC Spectrum Disorders Consultation Group hosted by OCD Louisiana

This peer consultation group provides an opportunity for mental health practitioners and trainees in our region to discuss cases and learn about relevant resources to provide evidence-based treatment to individuals with OCD and OC Spectrum Disorders. Professionals in other healthcare disciplines are welcome. There is no cost associated with the group.

Disorders of focus include OCD, Body Dysmorphic Disorder, Hoarding Disorder, Illness Anxiety Disorder, Trichotillomania, and Excoriation Disorder. Discussion of comorbid presentations, differential diagnoses, and related disorders is welcome.

Evidence-based treatment of these disorders, across the developmental spectrum, will primarily be discussed with reference to cognitive behavioral and relational frame theories, and relevant psychotherapies including exposure and response prevention, acceptance and commitment therapy, and habit-reversal therapy, among others.

Alternates between the second Friday at 11am CT and the third Tuesday of the month at 7pm CT using Zoom
