About the Center for OCD and Anxiety-Related Disorders Program

• This position is within our Center for Obsessive-Compulsive and Anxiety-Related Disorders (COARD), which provides specialty evidence-based assessment and treatment for a full spectrum of anxiety and obsessive-compulsive-related conditions.
• Treatment is provided within both a traditional outpatient behavioral health setting as well as an Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP). Therapists in the program carry their own individual outpatient caseload and may also provide treatment to patients within the specialty IOP program, if desired.
• Outpatient caseloads are tailored to the therapist's unique areas of expertise as well as their clinical interests. Therapists within COARD may treat anxiety/obsessive-compulsive disorders exclusively or can elect to treat conditions that extend outside of this domain (for example, treating eating disorders, health psychology-related conditions, etc).
• Therapists are afforded the opportunity to regularly engage in professional consultation and education with other COARD team members in a setting that is engaging, collegial, and enjoyable.
