Dr. Katie O’Dunne on Thursday\, March 19\, 2026\, at 7:00 pm.

Drawing on this experience\, she educates clinicians and clergy\, promoting culturally responsive treatment across religious/spiritual traditions. \nKatie is a Lead Advocate for the IOCDF and leads the IOCDF Faith & OCD Action Council.

SUMMARY:Treatment Options for OCD and Hoarding: Research\, Clinic\, and Experience
DESCRIPTION:What do researchers consider when designing effective therapies for OCD and hoarding\, and how do these treatments shape people’s lives? In this event\, researchers and clinicians will discuss current approaches to treating OCD and hoarding\, highlighting both what has proven effective and what remains challenging in practice. A speaker with lived experience will reflect on the personal impact of therapy\, offering insight into its difficulties as well as its potential for change. Together\, we will explore how science\, clinical expertise\, and personal stories intersect to improve support for people living with OCD and hoarding.
