It’s 100% your choice weather or not you want to be on here, although I will say for myself. I can not do NOCD therapy due to my location, but I’m still on here all the time. I find it’s nice to read people’s comments and to make some of my own. I don’t have a community of people who are in this position, so having nocd is great for me! It’s your choice what you do though.

They were/are run as a tech startup and raised $12m in their last round of Series A funding (when companies formally go out to fundraise for venture capital). They’re mainly using the money to help set things up so they can legally offer therapy in more locations… like recruiting ERP therapists to work with them in all 50 states, or like how they just recently added Canada to the list of places with NOCD therapists. So post, read the blog, use everything here that helps you. They’re doing fine, and you definitely don’t need to worry about whether you’re costing them 25 cents of web hosting. It’s what the fundraising is for, and venture capital will consider them more successful the more users there are. So being here helps them too 💜 (source https://www.crunchbase.com/organization/nocd )

The app is free for anyone to just download and have access to it's resources. They have a YouTube channel full of free videos and even host livestreams that anyone can watch and ask questions, even if you don't have the app. Basically they put out a ton of free content to help educate people about OCD and how to treat it. It's totally fine to use that information to help yourself or others. Maybe think of it like a study hall for school where anyone can come to learn, ask questions and get more info. Then, if you'd like, you can also meet with one of their therapists, which would be like hiring a private tutor on the side.

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! ❤️👈🏼

Any alternatives to therapy?
I tried contacting NOCD, but they said that they didn't accept my insurance, and even if they did, I'd have to provide co-payment. I felt devastated because I'm afraid of going to a therapist who will misunderstand me. I can't afford therapy at the moment but I might be able to in a few months. Are there any alternatives for self therapy?

are the therapists here actually reliable???
I feel really scared and worried that the therapist I find on NOCD might not be effective, and instead of getting better, I might end up feeling worse. I’m afraid that if I don’t feel any progress, I’ll want to switch therapists, but my mom might get impatient with me. I worry that she’ll lose faith in therapy, stop paying for it, and think it’s a waste of time and money. I know therapy takes time and it’s not a quick fix, but I’m scared that things won’t go the way I hope. What if I don’t connect with the therapist? What if they don’t understand my OCD as well as I need them to? I’ve already been struggling so much, and the thought of going through another disappointment is exhausting. I’m only 14, and I feel stuck because I can’t manage this on my own. I need help, but I also need my mom to stay patient and supportive through this process. I’m scared that if things don’t improve fast enough, she’ll give up on paying for therapy. I don’t know what to do, and it’s making me feel really anxious. I just want to get better, but what if nothing works out?
