any recommendation on CBT or ERP professional

[rockytop]

We are looking to PEX very soon for one child (but either way- I really do believe that therapy to learn to cope is necessary for this) and now possibly at PANDAS in our 5yo I NEED a REALLY good therpist for them.. Please, any ideas? Preferably Virignia (near DC)

Yes! We see a psychologist who does CBT in Virginia & is working with both me and her regarding the PANDAS in positive ways, as well as educating us what is happening in her brain, especially during episodes - I can't tell you how much I appreciate having someone educate us on this instead of the other way around. He is fantastic, but he is not in Northern Virginia. How far would you be willing to travel to see one?

 

If you are willing to travel, let me know & feel free to inbox me for further info. As I think you know (you commented on one of my threads), my daughter is in the hospital due to several ER visits the last few days (now admitted) and receiving IVIg, so while I try to get on here, my time is limited at the moment and I don't want to miss it if you need his info.

I would try the International Obsessive Compulsive Foundation (IOCDF) web site. They have a "Find a Therapist" section. The IOCDF is a great resource for OCD and especially ERP. You may even have a local branch that would be of even more immediate help to you.

 

IOCDF - Find a Therapist

 

Good luck!
