The purpose of this study is to examine whether cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) can be helpful for children (7 to 17 years) with obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD) to eventually discontinue their medication without relapse over 24 weeks. This study includes CBT sessions across 14-20 weeks with a trained study therapist in addition to medication management. Eligible participants will also complete a total of four assessments. Participants will incur no cost throughout their time in the study.
Eligibility criteria include:
Youth between the ages of 7-17
Youth who have a diagnosis of OCD
Youth who are currently taking medications for OCD
