A question!

Hi everybody! I started with a therapist who’s super pricey outside of NOCD, when I had mentioned that I’m struggling with OCD she didn’t seem too well versed she said oh so you’re struggling with intrusive thoughts? Lady you don’t know the half of it!! But I’m afraid of continuing because I don’t want to waste $180 a week for what is sold as someone who can treat and help with OCD then turns out to just be talking about stuff I’ve already talked about with past therapists! Anyway onto the question at hand! If I join NOCD and they don’t cover my insurance but I pay out of pocket fora real OCD/ERP specialist because I really need the help! Is NOCD going to help me? Or am I going to waste my time and should I keep trying my hardest to find ERP specialists on Google. I’m exhausted I just want to know I’m going to get help and relief from this before I put more money into therapy Any advice or honesty would help greatly! ❤️👈🏼

This is just my personal experience and observation. I find this company a little hit or miss like most other things in life . I had a total of 2 therapists on here . One I would give a grade of C . The other one a B . You can do a fairly good amount of research of specific therapists and their backgrounds and if you feel that you might have good chemistry or not . You have to also be sure that a particular therapist is licensed for your state .

I am from Europe and my insurance does not pay online therapy abroad. It was no problem to pay out of pocket for NOCD, but it was quite hard to find a therapist, who was licensed to treat me. I got matched with a therapist I absolutely didn't like, so I stopped seeing her. But then NOC admins sent me a small list of NOCD therapists, who were licensed to treat me and amongst them was Lourdes De Las Haras Kuhn and she is the best! Kind, compassionate, empathetic, respectful and with a lot of expertise in treating OCD sufferers. I also had online therapy with ManhattenCBP, with a therapist who already had experience in doing ERP, but who had not yet finished her training. Back in 2021, I paid about 80 Euros per session and she had been an awesome therapist as well. I suffer from OCD for most of my life and I had some truly horrible therapists, therefore I strongly recommend, that you try to find a therapist, who is not only experienced in ERP, but who you feel comfortable with. It's not easy to open up about one's intrusions and doing ERP is even harder, so having someone at your side who you like and whom you trust is very important, in my opinion.

The prices without insurance are $200 an hour, $150 for 45 minutes, and 30 minutes for $100. When I first started, I did two times a week for three weeks thinking my insurance would cover it only to be hit with a $1200 bill. I spoke to about it and we were able to work it out where I saw her one time every two weeks for half an hour. However, if you’re going to do exposure response therapy, you would need at least 45 minutes at one time a week which is what I started to do. That’s $150 a week so it’s a bit less than what you’re doing, but hopefully this helps. Good luck with everything because OCD is very difficult and I feel for anyone that has to go through this

Therapists

I'm currently visiting my third therapist in the last three years and none of them have helped me so far. None of them have given me any type of diagnosis so I'm not even sure if I actually have OCD, and it's driving me mad. The last session I had, I even felt like it made things worse rather that it helped. I wanna feel that trust to my therapist that you should feel to be able to share your emotions but I don't. I feel like its not going anywhere, like it's useless. Lately I've been thinking about finding a therapist here at NOCD, I've even looked up some specific people and they all seem really nice and sweet.

Affording Therapy

Hi Guys, I was wondering if anyone has advice for affording NOCD therapy? I’m from the UK so cannot get this service on insurance and the therapy is costing me A LOT of money. I’ve contacted the billing team who have put me on a payment plan but this doesn’t make it any cheaper. They can’t do anything else for me to help so I’m stuck - I’m not in the right place to stop therapy but I also just cannot keep paying this money for it. Help!!

Insurance recommendations / can't afford therapy

Hello everyone I've been suffering with OCD since quarantine; so about 5-ish years. Im now in my first year in college and to be honest I have nothing. No insurance, no job, and no car. Recently ive been going through POCD and its really messing me up a lot. Im scared, worried, and confused because its the opposite of what I visualize myself and my future, which is having a nice house and a family. I recently found out about the NOCD app and I still learning about it. I obviously can't afford therapy at all but I heard that with insurance can cover most of it or even all of the cost of therapy. When I look into it, it turns out theres many insurance providers and I have no clue if there's any that covers therapy or even how to apply for it. So please, can anybody recommend any good insurance providers that can cover therapy?
