OCD is complex, often misunderstood, and frequently misdiagnosed. Treating it well requires more than general clinical skills—it requires specialized, evidence-based training.

Our OCD Therapist Training is a 16-week virtual program designed to help clinicians confidently assess and treat OCD using Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP). You’ll gain practical, real-world skills for hierarchy building, exposure planning, troubleshooting, and working with nuanced presentations like scrupulosity and sexual obsessions.

Begins February 4, 2026
11:00 AM – 12:00 PM EST
Fully virtual | 13 CEs available
Developed by leading OCD experts

Medication can help quiet the symptoms—but sometimes it’s not the whole story.

CBT goes deeper, helping you change the thought patterns and behaviors that keep you stuck, and giving you tools you can use for life.
When medication isn’t enough, therapy can be the missing piece.

At BWC, we often combine CBT and medication to support real, lasting change—because you deserve more than “almost okay.”

When panic strikes without warning, it can feel overwhelming—your heart races, your chest tightens, and fear takes over. At the Behavioral Wellness Clinic, we specialize in helping individuals break free from the cycle of panic and avoidance.

Our evidence-based therapy focuses on understanding the mechanics of panic, reducing fear of physical sensations, and gradually returning to the activities you’ve been avoiding. Treatment typically lasts 10–20 sessions and is paced to your comfort—offering structured guidance, compassion, and lasting tools for recovery.

You don’t have to live in fear of panic attacks. Learn to feel safe in your body again—with expert, human-centered care.

When fear starts to control your life, it’s more than discomfort—it’s a specific phobia. Whether it’s heights, needles, flying, or enclosed spaces, avoidance can shrink your world and limit your freedom.

At the Behavioural Wellness Clinic, we use evidence-based exposure therapy to help you gradually face fears in a safe, supportive environment—at your pace, with your comfort in mind.

Fear doesn’t have to define your life.
