WHO IT IS FOR

What This Group Is For

The OCD and Related Conditions Therapy Group is for adults with obsessive-compulsive disorder and related conditions who want structured, skills-based Exposure and Response Prevention practice alongside others with similar experiences. The work moves beyond habituation into the inhibitory learning framework.

Murad Counseling offers OCD and skills-based group therapy, but groups don’t run monthly. They open when there’s a clinical fit among waiting members, with workshops scheduled as needed and announced separately.

THE FORMAT

What to Expect

Group ERP practice

Structured exposure and response prevention work is done together in session, moving beyond habituation into the inhibitory learning framework.

Homework between sessions

Practice continues between meetings. Between-session homework is part of the group.

Between-group support

Support between sessions via message and email. (Limited support; non-emergencies or crises.)

A closed, confidential group

Groups close once they begin, to protect confidentiality and cohesion, with up to 8 members to support individualized attention, participation, and meaningful discussion.

IS GROUP RIGHT FOR YOU?

Who Groups Tend to Fit

Not everyone may find groups suitable. During intake, potential members undergo a clinical screening to confirm that the group matches their needs, safety concerns, and treatment objectives.

Many people with OCD, anxiety, or other mental health concerns initially feel uncomfortable in group settings. These groups are structured to foster a supportive, respectful environment where participation can feel manageable over time.

Group therapy is not the right format for everyone or every clinical situation. Fit is reviewed before enrollment.

$1,200 total at the general adult rate, or $1,000 at the college student rate. A $200 deposit reserves your seat and is applied to the total program fee.

Yes! The College Student Rate is $1,000 total, and it’s available to all currently enrolled college or university students—whether you’re studying at the University of Austin, Dartmouth College, the University of Washington, or even a community college in Florida. Just remember, you’ll need to provide proof of current enrollment, like a student ID or another enrollment document. The $200 deposit and interest-free payment plans work the same way for everyone!

Yes. Interest-free payment plans are available. We don’t accept insurance for group work. The interest-free payment plan lets you pay the balance over time, and it requires no credit check.

Attend the first group session to see whether the format is a good fit. If you decide not to continue, email Murad Counseling within 24 hours of the first group session, and we will refund your $200 deposit. No further payment will be due.

Yes. Groups are telehealth-only and conducted on a HIPAA-compliant video platform with no in-person component. They are available to adults in Texas, Washington, and New Hampshire, where Felix Murad is licensed, and in Florida through out-of-state telehealth provider registration.

Prospective members complete a clinical screening during intake to ensure the group aligns with their needs, safety, and treatment goals. The fastest way to find out is to schedule a group screening or to email the practice.

The OCD and Related Conditions Therapy Group has up to 8 members and runs for 8 weeks. Each session is 90 minutes. The groups are closed once they start to ensure confidentiality and cohesion.

Groups do not meet monthly; instead, they open in cohorts when enough members are interested. OCD/ERP groups typically begin every two months. After screening, you can join a waiting list for the next group. Groups open in cohorts when there is enough clinical fit among interested adults.

That concern is understandable, especially when OCD targets themes that feel shameful, disturbing, or difficult to say out loud. You will never be required to share details you are not ready to discuss. The group is structured around respect, confidentiality, and understanding OCD as a disorder, not judging people by the content of their intrusive thoughts. You can participate at a pace that feels manageable while still doing meaningful ERP work.

OCD Therapy groups are offered more often than other groups due to demand. However, we try to run groups focused on skill development using CBT and ACT. These groups teach evidence-based skills that can be applied across different diagnoses.
