New to community but frustrated by lack of insurance acceptance for therapy.

Same... I just terminated my services with NOCD billing because they kept overcharging me hundreds per session and now I'm depressed because I can't communicate with my therapist anymore. She was super helpful in my recovery process and it feels like I am relapsing again because I don't have the proper guidance nor treatment in managing my symptoms. All the other online therapy services I've called weren't as decent and don't even use the standard practices of ERP to treat it. I'm devastated. I genuinely don't understand why it is so frustrating for OCD sufferers to get help. Finding an affordable OCD specialist in the US is like finding a needle in a haystick at this point.

new here too, i’m sorry to hear that. they also don’t take my insurance, but many of the posts and comments i read on here are quite helpful actually. i hope they can help you too.

I switched jobs recently and my new insurance is not accepted either. But I will continue using NOCD once a month and try a different therapist that takes my insurance to have different perspective. Listen to Patrick McGrath on you tube and you’ll learn a lot of things about ocd.

You could get in touch with Manhatten CBT. I'm from Europe, so there wasn't a chance, my health insurance would cover the costs for ERP therapy. But I got in touch with Manhatten CBT and they have therapists at different rates. My therapist there had still been in training, but she had already experience in doing ERP and she was amazing. I think her hourly rate was about 80 USD, which is pretty cheap in comparison to a ERP therapist who has already completed their training.
