Healing doesn't have to happen in a vacuum. While individual therapy provides the foundation, a support community offers the "real-time" practice that builds lasting resilience.

Led by Dr. Marisa Mazza, our virtual sessions combine expert-led mindfulness exercises with the accountability of a group that truly understands the nuances of OCD and perfectionism.

Why join the March cohort?
✨ Guided Practice: We engage in experiential journaling and "unhooking" exercises.
✨ Safe Haven: A judgment-free space to face fears and tolerate uncertainty.
✨ Consistent Support: 3–4 meetings per month to keep your skills sharp.

Space is limited to ensure an intimate and impactful experience for every member.

OCD thrives in isolation, often convincing you that your thoughts and loops are yours to carry alone. But there is profound power in realizing that your "hidden" struggles are actually shared experiences.

Our March enrollment is now open for the Virtual OCD Support Group. This community serves as a skill-building squad where we utilize mindfulness to "unhook" from the rituals that keep you stuck.

The Details:
💻 Format: Virtual (3–4 sessions per month)
👥 Vibe: Intimate, evidence-based, and highly interactive.
💰 Enrollment: $240/month

Note: This is a support community designed to supplement your journey; it is not a replacement for clinical therapy.

Is Self-Compassion just "Self-Pity" in disguise? 🤔

Your most skeptical clients might think so. They worry that if they’re kind to themselves, they’ll lose their "edge" or stop working hard in therapy.

But as clinicians, we know the truth: Shame is the ultimate driver of avoidance. In our March 20th training, we are learning how to decouple self-compassion from self-indulgence. We’re framing it as a source of emotional strength that actually increases a client's ability to stay in the room (and in the exposure).

Join us to learn:
✅ How to handle "Self-Compassion Resistance."
✅ The science of Inhibitory Learning.
✅ Why Kindness is a clinical "Power Tool," not a soft skill.

Do you ever feel "stuck" when a client’s perfectionism hijacks your ERP plan?

It’s a common hurdle: How do we seamlessly blend ACT principles with Exposure without losing the treatment's structure? If you’ve wondered how to introduce Self-Compassion so it feels like an evidence-based tool rather than "fluffy" self-help, you aren't alone.

Join me for our Monthly Training Series, where we bridge the gap between theory and practice.

Breaking the "Island" Mentality

The relief of being understood.

OCD often tries to convince you that you are on an island, but the truth is that connection is a powerful tool for recovery. While this is not a therapy group, our Virtual OCD Support Group community provides a structured space to break the silence of intrusive thoughts alongside others who truly "get it."

Join us 3–4 times a month to trade isolation for shared strength. Together, we discuss evidence-based tools like ERP and ACT and practice mindfulness and self-compassion to navigate the "mental loops" with more ease and less judgment.

✨ Community Benefits:

Weekly connection with a peer squad.

Expert-led experiential exercises to be more present in your life.

A safe haven to address your struggles and share wins.
