[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I heard ERP is the best type of treatment for OCD but I was totally unsuccessful finding a provider in VA who could take my 12 yo.  It was so isolating and frustrating.  The CBT did nothing.  My child’s OCD tendencies were the result of PANDAS and seem to have subsided but I keep a close eye, not that I know who will help us if it comes back.[/quote]

Hmmm.  Recognize a bit of myself here.  What would be my plan to address this if it arose again?  I'd definitely want to have a well thought out action plan at the ready for this contingency.

I read many of the OCD posts as my DS has it (also PANDAS) and was helped tremendously by ERP at the Behavior Therapy Center in Silver Spring.  We live in the District and it was a very long haul for us as the appointments were around 6 and we had to deal with huge amounts of rush hour traffic.

I have never seen an ERP provider mentioned here for Virginia.  There are references to the Ross Center in Friendship heights of DC, which could be closer for you.  Or your plan could be to pack it all in and go to Florida for a couple of weeks for the University of Florida's outpatient intensive.  Parents with kids going to this program can stay for free at the Ronald MacDonald House.[/quote]
