Group Therapy

OCD Basics Group

For NeuroDivergent people With recently discovered OCD

In 8 meetings, Build a solid foundation for managing OCD, with others in a neuro-affirming space

Tuesdays at 4pm, 8 week package

Currently Recruiting for JAnuary 13, 2026

I created this group because OCD discovery when you are autistic, have ADHD, or have other learning differences or diagnoses can feel overwhelming. Although OCD overlaps with other conditions commonly, OCD treatment that centers the neurodivergent experience is hard to find. OCD thrives off secrecy and isolation; therefore, gathering with others who have similar experiences is powerfully healing. This group will follow principals of of emergent strategy and universal design to not only address OCD, but create a non-masking, collaborative experience with others that I hope will be healing.

This group offers:

  • A place of belonging and acceptance, where neurodivergence is centered

  • A complete overview of how OCD works and the different ways to tackle it

  • Help distinguishing OCD from stims, processing, and planning

OCD Recovery group

For NeuroDivergent people with OCD in remission

Focused on Meeting Neurodivergent needs and building a good life

Time TBD

Currently Recruiting for Spring 2026

I created this group because so many neurodivergent people I know developed OCD when life was feeling out of control. OCD can take over for large chunks of time, leaving some big gaps. Once you understand OCD and get the hang of managing it, there can be a lot of work waiting on the other side. For some, this is when other neurodistinctions such as ADHD or autism are discovered. I want to create a space where people with fast, creative, sticky brains can feel kinship, learn from each other, and manage their mental health and life goals in a sustainable collective model. This is for people looking for ongoing light support.

This group offers:

  • A place of belonging and acceptance, where neurodivergence is centered

  • Practical skill building to address challenges like burnout, intense emotions, and sensitivity

  • Help navigating relationships, especially cross-neurotype relationships

  • Support with career and workplace navigation or vocational goal development

  • Planning and brainstorming time for you to create routines and resources that help you reach a healthy baseline and stay there

  • Focus will be tailored to group member needs and requests

Details:

  • Sessions run 80 minutes

  • For clients who have had OCD treatment or are in concurrent treatment.

    • This group will not cover the basics of OCD, although we will spend time at the beginning building shared language and concepts.

  • $90 fee per group

  • 6 week commitment required. Only enroll if you can make at least 5/6 meetings

  • This will be an ongoing group with opportunities to re-enroll and take a short break every 6 weeks

  • One time intake/goal setting individual session required ($250 for 50 minutes) (Waived for current and former clients)

  • Max 8 group members

  • Adults (18+)
