FEEDBACK FROM FORMER STUDENTS

Thank you so much for this presentation Keisha! I really appreciate your work and your help in consultation. The intimacy of the workshop was really helpful, I felt comfortable asking questions and sharing my experience with ERP. The role play and case conceptualization part of the presentation was really effective - it just helped everything to gel and really to process challenges. I appreciate the resources too especially the community based resources for our clients. I have lots of takeaways from the pres that I can't wait to delve further into. Thanks so much!
Tara Charpentier, LCSW
This class was an excellent introduction to diagnosing and treating OCD. Highly recommended for all therapists (even if the intention is not to begin treating OCD), but to just to be able to more accurately diagnose their clients and differentiate other anxiety presentations from OCD. The presenter is also very engaging, and teaches the information in a very relatable and easy to understand way!
Marielle Babb, LPC
This training helped effectively diagnose and treat OCD. Keisha is an expert clinician in treating OCD with many years of experience that made the training that much more powerful. She’s down to earth, relatable, and has tons of experience treating OCD with ERP. The course was well formatted and enabled me to begin using ERP immediately. The option to have was group consultation after was was incredibly helpful. I highly recommend this course.
