Meeting Information:

Meeting day and time: Wednesdays
Open To: Teens with OCD
Fee: $300 for 6 sessions
Description:

Being a teenager is hard enough. Being a teenager and struggling with OCD is even harder. Know YOU ARE NOT ALONE. Join our support group and hear from other teens about their OCD journey and what they have learned along the way. The in-person support group is led by Melanie Loya, M.S.

We understand that joining a group can be hard. You will never be forced to participate, some people start out just by listening. Group members will learn how to relate to OCD in new ways so they can be more present and get back to doing what matters most in life. The group allows participants to openly share struggles and successes and gain understanding from other teens that can relate to the unique experience of navigating OCD.

This is a support group and is not meant to function in place of therapy. This workshop is a part of an educational series and is not considered therapy. Please consult with your therapist about what interventions are right for you.

Participants: The group is open to older teenagers with OCD that are currently in treatment or have graduated from treatment. Topics will vary slightly based on age and interest.
