Demystifying ERP

NECOA Virtual Information Hour

February 5,  5:30 PM EST

Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) is an effective, evidence-based treatment for OCD. However, it can be hard to understand what this treatment involves, how it works, and how you can find clinicians who are truly skilled and experienced in its use.

 

Join Dr. Lisa Coyne, PhD and Kristen Perrelli, LICSW, on March 5th at 5:30 pm EST for a free consultation group to learn: 

​

  • What ERP is and how it works

  • How to find and evaluate clinicians who can help

  • How families can best support their youngsters

​

We look forward to seeing you!
