Obsessive Compulsive Disorder
The Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy Center of WNC is offering an intensive outpatient program (IOP) for adults with Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD).
This program consists of both group and individual components and uses the most effective evidence-based therapy for treating this disorder, specifically Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP).
There are also opportunities for support and guidance for loved ones of clients participating in the program.
