Dr. Wilson’s 2-Day Treatment Program

Reid headshot '15

This two-day Cognitive Behavioral Treatment Group, led by Dr. Reid Wilson, is a treatment opportunity for individuals with OCD who might not otherwise have access to an intensive OCD treatment program. Components of this program include: how to alter rigidly held belief systems, how to let go of obsessions, how to gain mastery over compulsions, and how to increase courage and determination.

This treatment opportunity will be held in conjunction with the 26th Annual OCD Conference at the JW Marriott Austin, taking place July 19–21, 2019. Two sessions of the treatment group will be held, one before and one at the end of the Conference.

  • Session I will be held on Wednesday, July 17 – Thursday, July 18, 2019.
  • Session II will be held on Sunday, July 21 – Monday, July 22, 2019.

Each session will be limited to eight participants on a first-come, first-served basis. Four health professionals will be present to observe each group.
