I’ll be attending the Understanding OCD community event presented by OCD and Anxiety of the Woodlands, PLLC.

This event aims to be more than an awareness or networking opportunity. It serves as a community-level educational intervention aimed at closing the clinical and systemic gaps that contribute to these outcomes.

The event is May 1st, 8:30am - 11:30am at the Kevin Brady Community Center in The Woodlands, TX

Hello! I’m Dr. Chad Brandt. I am a clinical psychologist specializing in severe cases of obsessive-compulsive disorder. Originally from Florida, I moved to Texas to pursue a Ph.D. in clinical psychology.

While my initial focus was on anxiety disorders, I fell in love with treating severe OCD cases during my post-doc at the Houston OCD Program. While there, I was fortunate enough to be trained in B4DT which opened my eyes to a new approach to treatment. I am still in Houston, working with patients with severe OCD one-on-one in full day treatment sessions.

I believe that OCD is not a problem with you, but a regular thought pattern that has gotten out of control. Additionally, I believe that while the core process of OCD is generally the same, each person and circumstance differs. Finally, I believe that every person with OCD can get better and move on with their life if they truly want to and are ready to put in the work.

Please reach out to learn more about how you can get freedom from your OCD!
