Online Training You Can Immediately Apply to Your Practice

Have you found yourself exhausting all the available ERP resources for your OCD clients with no significant improvement?

Are some of your clients too scared to even think about exposure therapy?

If you said yes, let me introduce you to our new course: “The ACT for OCD Toolbox: A Guide for Therapists”.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) is an empirically based treatment that has shown efficacy in treating different mental conditions, including Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder, throughout the lifespan.

This course is designed to help you broaden your therapeutic skills for treating OCD beyond the traditional exposure-based therapies.

In ACT, we believe that each human is capable of a rich and meaningful life regardless of their situation or their internal distress.” – Kate Morrison, Ph.D.
