PEER SUPPORT SERVICES FOR OCD
Below you will find a list of Peer Support Services that Chrissie Hodges & Treatment for OCD Consulting provides. Learn more about how we can help you on your journey to recovery.
Peer Support Services
Peer Support Specialists are certified in their respective states and current on their credentials. We provide peer consultations and peer coaching across state lines and internationally. Peer support is incredibly beneficial for individuals working toward or maintaining recovery for mental health. Particularly with OCD, peer support will help normalize, support, and share experience in where you are at in your journey to recovery. OCD themes can often make us feel isolated, terrified, and not connected to our values. Working with a peer can help inspire hope and motivation in knowing recovery is possible for you. Peer support specialists use their lived experience with OCD intrusive thoughts to walk alongside you and empower you in knowing you can have a full and successful life despite OCD.
Referral Consultations for OCD Specialists & Resources
Treatment for OCD Consulting is committed to helping connect individuals to therapists who treat OCD anywhere in the world. OCD treatment consists of specialized therapy, Exposure Response Prevention therapy (ERP). Finding therapists adept in treating OCD with ERP is difficult. Treatment for OCD Consulting will provide referrals near you or those that will do treatment through telehealth across state/country lines. We will also provide resources that will help you along your journey to recovery.
Closed Peer Support Groups
We offer 8-week closed peer support groups to provide support, normalization of what you are going through and connection to other individuals living with OCD worldwide. Groups are $25 per week and they have 5-9 people in each. Signing up for this service is an 8 week commitment, and you will be charged each week group runs. We do weekly check-ins and discuss recovery topics. You can be in any stage of recovery -before and after treatment - to join.
Groups are confidential and a great way to meet others who live with OCD! If you are interested in joining, please email Chrissie directly at ocd.chrissie@gmail.com and she will get you on the email list so you will know as soon as they open up for registration.
In-House Peer Support
Chrissie is trained in working to provide in-house peer support and Exposure Response Prevention coaching services to individuals needing extra support with their treatment plan. Chrissie will work alongside the therapist in following the ERP treatment plan and can also provide information when working in-house that may help the therapeutic process by identifying obstacles that may be occurring in the home or environment. Peer support can help alongside ERP in the house to provide support and motivation, especially if the individual is stuck, or in a position of indecision about engaging in treatment.
Please message Chrissie about pricing and structure of in-house work or ERP Coaching opportunities
IOP Support Groups
Chrissie can work in your Intensive Outpatient program to provide group support to participants as well as peer support hours for one-on-one support to participants. The benefit of having peer support within an IOP is to give the participants an outlet of support around the lived experience and normalization of therapy with OCD. Sharing stories, sharing fears outside of just OCD fears, and creating community among participants can be a benefit to your program and increase hope and motivation within the program.
Please message Chrissie for inquiries about pricing and structure.
