Hello LACPA community,

I am excited to announce an upcoming presentation with Dr. Max Maisel on Monday, October 6th, at 12 PM (via Zoom), hosted by the LACPA CBT SIG.

Dr. Max Maisel is a clinical psychologist with over a decade of experience treating OCD and anxiety disorders across the lifespan. He specializes in Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP), with a particular passion for treating complex, ruminative forms of OCD (“Pure O”). In addition to his expertise with OCD, he has extensive experience treating body-focused repetitive behaviors (BFRBs) and tics/Tourette's Syndrome.

Dr. Maisel is the founder and CEO of Beachfront Anxiety Specialists, a Redondo Beach–based group practice dedicated to evidence-based care for OCD and related conditions. He currently serves as president of the Southern California Chapter of the Association for Contextual Behavioral Science (ACBS) and is a longtime member of the International OCD Foundation (IOCDF). He regularly provides training for clinicians and graduate programs, and has presented at leading conferences, including the ACT World Conference and the annual IOCDF Conference. His work has also been featured on podcasts such as Your Anxiety Toolkit and Mindstories, and he develops on-demand training courses for clinicians, including programs offered through the OCD Training School.
