What People Are Saying: 

I am so grateful to Anxiety Training! Their video series on treating anxiety and OCD across the lifespan has allowed me to more efficiently grow my practice. I know the new psychologists and trainees I have hired are getting  a strong foundation in CBT with ERP with these videos. The information presented is comprehensive and up to date. I have been impressed with how easy the training series has been to use for every single person I have hired and how much knowledge they have absorbed from the hours of training. I also love how there is  pre-and post data from the course. This allows me to best understand previous competencies of my trainees as well as what areas they have grown in from the series.

At Light On Anxiety CBT Treatment Center in Chicago, we have chosen Anxiety Training's CBT for Anxiety and OCD, a 12- session online training, to onboard our new therapists. We couldn't be happier with the results! Not only does this training save my center money and time but our therapists have been really happy with the training as well. The improvement in my clinician's scores between their pre -and post-test results shows that CBT for Anxiety and OCD provides the essential information necessary for them to quickly and confidently get started treating clients with these disorders using evidence-based treatments.
