partners of individuals with ocd
OCD does not exist in a vacuum; often, the entire family and/or relational system is impacted. Dr. Cook offers short-term or ongoing therapeutic support for individuals looking to better understand how OCD works, how it impacts the relational system, and how to support themselves and their loved one breaking out of OCD’s grasp.
