Hello Sonotright and thank you for your question. Here is an answer to your question from Diane Davey, RN, MBA, Program Director, Obsessive Compulsive Disorder Institute at McLean Hospital:
It is quite possible that Exposure/Response Prevention would be helpful for his OCD symptoms. If you want to locate a provider in your area, you should go to the Obsessive Compulsive Foundation web site at www.ocfoundation.org. They have lists of providers from all over the country. If you cannot find anyone on this list, you can also try the Association for Behavioral and Cognitive Therapies at www.abct.org.
