Our process sets a new standard for training therapists to treat OCD
NOCD's 4-step training approach equips therapists with the skills to offer people with OCD evidence-based treatments like Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) therapy.
- Selective hiring
- Our interview process assesses whether therapists are qualified to treat each of our members with specialized, personalized, and empathetic OCD care.
- Comprehensive training
- Upon joining the NOCD Network, therapists begin an intensive, expert-designed program that trains them in ERP therapy, the most effective OCD treatment, and the identification and treatment of related conditions.
- Thorough evaluation
- Before starting to see NOCD Members, each NOCD Therapist must demonstrate retention of their training and pass multiple exams.
- Continuous learning
- While working with members, NOCD Therapists receive continuous education and consultation from clinical leadership to ensure the highest quality of care.
With NOCD, you'll work with a therapist who is trained to understand exactly what you're going through and to help you conquer your OCD.

Properly treating OCD
Therapists receive instruction on administering ERP, including hierarchy development, exposure techniques, response prevention strategies, and building of custom treatment plans to match severity levels and subtypes.
Treating related and co-occurring conditions
NOCD Therapists also learn to treat related conditions such as hoarding disorder, tic disorder, hair pulling, and skin picking, as well as conditions like PTSD, depression, and anxiety.
