OCD Group Therapy in Louisville, KY
OCD can be isolating—but it doesn’t have to be. Group therapy at River City OCD Clinic provides a space where individuals can build skills using Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), strengthen recovery, and connect with others who understand what OCD actually feels like. Whether you’re in active treatment or working to maintain progress, group work can offer both structure and support in ways that individual therapy alone often can’t.
What to Expect in OCD Group Therapy
Living with OCD or anxiety can feel isolating, but you don’t have to go through it alone.
This isn’t a group where you just talk about your week. Sessions are structured to help you apply ERP and ACT skills in real life—what to do when OCD shows up, not just how to describe it. Groups meet weekly, biweekly, and monthly and focus on keeping progress going, not starting from scratch each time.
Our therapy groups bring together people working toward similar goals in recovery. Led by clinicians who specialize in OCD and anxiety, these groups offer a space for connection, accountability, and real-world practice of the skills that support lasting change.
Many participants describe group as a turning point—a place where things finally click, and where they’re not the only one dealing with this.
Together, members strengthen what they’re learning in therapy, face challenges with support, and build momentum toward a life less driven by fear and avoidance.
