Rivulet Clinical Services
About
Sometimes OCD symptoms themselves obstruct access to recommended treatment (such as group therapy, in-person sessions, or residential care for OCD). Additionally, you may wish to access evidence-based psychotherapy for OCD while waiting for admission to a recommended treatment or to prevent OCD relapse. A good option as well for rural residents with OCD who have difficulty accessing effective treatment.
