Join us Friday, October 23, for an insightful workshop exploring “OCD Impostors,” presented by Michael Heady, LCPC, and Megan English, .

Not everything that looks like OCD is OCD—and sometimes, OCD can be overlooked when symptoms overlap with identity exploration, neurodevelopmental differences, safety concerns, or intrusive thoughts. This workshop will examine these complex clinical presentations and help counselors strengthen their understanding and assessment skills.
