Treatment

With virtual therapy, sessions can be done wherever obsessions are most likely to be triggered. This opens up the option of getting the right care.

One question I often get asked is, “How can my therapist treat my OCD if they do not share my faith?”

The use of creative interventions within exposure and response prevention (ERP) therapy can aid treatment for people with OCD.

One of the most difficult parts about recognizing OCD is that it can take on so many forms . It can look very different in each child who develops it.

I hid my OCD symptoms to protect myself, but it backfired. In the end, it would do more harm than good.

What drew me more into wanting to learn more about OCD specifically was seeing the struggles that a loved one of mine had.

When I saw the NOCD job listing, I saw an opportunity to be able to have a solution for this surprisingly common disorder.

I got so much satisfaction from helping people get on a path to recovery from OCD that I went full time after a few months. Learn more.

Many therapists who are licensed have a chance to make a transformative impact - but sadly some who are not prey on people with OCD in need of help.

Community-driven therapy means a deep commitment to “connecting the dots'' for members that we serve, and focusing on offering extreme personalization.

After months of inadvertently making my OCD stronger with the wrong kind of therapy, I'd found a way to sap its power over me.
