Introducing: The OCD Skills Lab — A 6-Week Live Virtual Skills Class for individuals struggling with OCD!

If OCD has been running the show—looping thoughts, rituals, second-guessing—you’re not alone. It can feel exhausting and isolating. The OCD Skills Lab offers evidence-based skills to help you take back control.
In this live, supportive class, participants will learn ERP-informed strategies and leave each week with practical tools they can use right away.

What you’ll gain:

Clarity — understand OCD’s cycle
Confidence — practice ERP principles step by step
Tools — build an exposure ladder, SOS plan & relapse-prevention checklist
Momentum — track progress & strengthen self-trust

Details:

-Tuesdays, Oct 14 – Nov 18, 2025 (6 sessions)
-6:00–7:00 PM ET
-Live via secure video (not recorded)
-$450 (installment option available)
-Ages 18+ in MD, DC, VA

Spots are limited — first come, first served.
