BOCA RATON, Fla., Sept. 19, 2021 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- A
Florida high school senior is now offering virtual OCD coaching on
a sliding scale to teens worldwide.
According to Livvy Silver, a
17-year old student at Saint Andrews School in Boca Raton, FL, her unique coaching practice
emerged from her own multi-year struggle with obsessive compulsive
disorder, known as OCD.
"At one point, I could barely function because of my compulsive
need to wash my hands. I had a fear of contamination, which is very
common way for OCD to manifest itself. After two years of struggle
and finally finding the right therapist, I learned a set of
exercises that really helped. And then after meeting some other
teens who were also suffering with OCD, I discovered that sharing
my own experience with them, together with compassionately teaching
them the same exercises I had learned actually led to their
conditions improving."
Recognizing that she could make a positive impact on the lives
of other teens suffering from OCD, Livvy took the unusual step of
seeking out a life coaching certification program that would accept
younger applicants and then getting herself certified as a life
coach.
Once armed with professional level coaching skills to add to her
personal life experience battling OCD, Livvy founded OCD Mastery
and built a website, OCDMastery.Com, to offer virtual OCD coaching
to teens worldwide.
According to Livvy's mom, Leslie
Silver, "The fact that the world was in the middle of a
pandemic made my daughter's offer of virtual Zoom OCD coaching the
right approach at the right time. The whole world has grown more
comfortable doing so many things via Zoom that the response to
Livvy's coaching practice has been incredibly positive. I'm so
proud of her!"
Livvy wants any potential client to recognize that she is not a
licensed therapist and not able to diagnose or prescribe
medications. However, for those suffering from OCD and looking for
emotional support as well as access to exercises that can help
transform their conditions, Livvy is gratified to have found her
niche.
What's more, by offering services on a sliding scale,
OCDMastery.Com can be the perfect solution for those families
without the resources to pay for the services of an adult
professional.
"I battled back from OCD and now I have my life back," says
Livvy. "I have had the opportunity to coach teens suffering from
OCD from all over the U.S. and as far away as Australia. My work is incredibly gratifying,
and I'm proud to be able to offer help to those who might not be
able to afford other alternatives."
