"OCD makes you believe you are alone, unworthy, and unlovable. My goal is to walk alongside you and support you in believing you deserve recovery. You do not have to go through this alone."

Chrissie Hodges - Peer Support Specialist

— My Mission

I believe every single person deserves to have someone walk alongside them on their journey toward recovery with mental illness to help normalize, support, and help them to know they are not alone. Connection and community in the face of shame and guilt that comes with OCD is vitally important in grieving, healing, and living life with OCD.

Our mission at Treatment for OCD Consulting is to continue to strive to bring lived experiences with OCD to others in support and understanding of living with OCD. We provide one on one support and we also run groups at OCDPeers.com to help provide a professional group setting where clients can feel less alone. Our continued goal will be to work toward being able to provide peer support no matter what your income is. In growing our team, we are hopeful to scale our peer support price points and eventually be able to support individuals to ‘pay what they can’. Everyone deserves peer support, and it is our mission to fulfill this goal as soon as we possibly can.

What is Peer Support?

Peer support is supplementary support for individuals working toward recovery with mental health/addiction & substance use disorders. Peer Support Specialists are trained, certified individuals with lived experience in mental health/addiction or substance use disorders to provide support, normalization, and empathy. Peer support specialists help teach empowerment to the individual they are supporting in areas of shared decision making, advocacy, and their personal recovery journey. We walk alongside individuals with the goal to meet them where they are at while practicing inclusivity, mutuality, and respect. 

 
For individuals living with OCD, peer support is invaluable to help eliminate the shame, guilt, and stigma that accompanies intrusive thoughts. Helping clients understand they are not alone is crucial in providing normalization and can also help in motivating them to seek treatment. Our peer supporters at Treatment for OCD Consulting have experience with terrifying, shameful intrusive thoughts and have successfully worked through treatment and actively work on their emotional recovery by cultivating self-compassion and self-love.
