In Episode 8 of Character Clinic, licensed therapists Karla and Haley discuss mental health and treatment for one of the characters from Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets!

This week's episode is on the yet-to-be-released movie Exposure (as of 3/18/24). Exposure is a psychological thriller about OCD. We were especially excited to do this particular episode, with Karla's OCD specialization, the uniquely accurate representation in this movie, and the overall entertainment factor of it. This week is also extra special because we include an interview with the film's writer/director Peter Cannon!

As always, Character Clinic episodes feature licensed mental health counselors Karla and Haley, who discuss mental health and treatment through all of our favorite and most relatable fictional characters. We include a role-play of an intake appointment and a discussion of treatment planning.
