The Center for Cognitive Behavioral-Psychotherapy is proud to host to new online OCD support groups. Both group facilitators, Dr. Jordan Levy and Dr. Amber Brandes, have received training in the understanding and treatment of OCD. Groups will be held via Google Hangout - one for those residing in the USA and one for those residing elsewhere throughout the globe. Each group lasts for approximately an hour and a half and is composed of 6-8 people, with the same goals and objectives as our in-person OCD support groups. Fee is $45 per session, processed by credit card. Please call (212) 686-6886 to inquire about attending, or email center686@gmail.com
