Our Mission.
On average, people live with OCD symptoms for around 17 years before getting an appropriate diagnosis and treatment. In the US alone there are 2-3 million adults and around 500,000 youths living with OCD. According to the IOCDF, there are over 2,000 therapists and medication providers worldwide who specialize in treating OCD and related disorders. This gap is staggering! At THRIVE. we want to help close the gap by spreading awareness, education and training on OCD and related disorders to reduce time to getting appropriate treatment and the lack of providers.
Our Story.
If you want to specialize in treating OCD with ERP, you’re in the right place.
THRIVE. was born from seeing the lack of appropriate care for clients living with OCD. As therapists, we heard countless stories from clients who were misdiagnosed and/or treated incorrectly for years before finally receiving the correct diagnosis and treatment. For more information see this article on the care gap with OCD in the US.
Reflecting on our own education, there was little to no information on OCD in our coursework. There are many other therapists out there who share that experience, and don’t learn much about OCD until they do clinical work or decide to specialize.
Both Danielle and Meghin have extensive experience teaching and training therapists of all experience levels, ranging from pre-licensed providers to seasoned clinicians, in the ins and outs of treating OCD with ERP. With this expertise in mind, we designed this course based on our own experiences training therapists. Moreover, we have added elements to further enhance learning and retention, ensuring a comprehensive and effective educational experience.
Our mission is to bring increased awareness to OCD and improve the gap of diagnosing and receiving appropriate care.
