12-Week I-CBT Skills Group for Anxiety & OCD

12-Week I-CBT Skills Group: Empowering You to Manage Anxiety and OCD

At The Scoggan Institute, we recognize that anxiety and OCD (Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder) can be isolating experiences. Our 12-week I-CBT Skills Group provides a supportive and collaborative environment where you can learn powerful strategies for managing your symptoms alongside others who understand your challenges.

What is I-CBT?

I-CBT stands for Internet-based Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. This evidence-based approach helps you identify and modify unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviors that contribute to anxiety and OCD symptoms.

Our I-CBT Skills Group is designed to be a safe and empowering space where you can:

- Building coping mechanisms for managing anxiety and OCD triggers
Practice in a Supportive Setting: The group offers a platform to practice newly learned skills in a supportive environment with guidance from a trained therapist.
