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.
That's a really good metaphor
They make plenty of money by charging people’s insurance for session
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!!
if this app has helped y’all, i’m very happy! but for me this has been about nothing but money. my therapist only cares about money. the people that work nocd only want your money. i’ve been worse ever since starting therapy on here. if you can get different therapists, please do so. i would not recommend this. the fees are also ridiculous. just giving you a heads up! the community is sweet and loving, but everyone behind this is sketchy. be warned. they just took $150 after i finished my payments already!
Does anyone think ERP therapy costs are really unreasonable? I stopped NOCD because I had BDD concerns, too and now go to another Telehealth therapist who is $225 per session. TWO HUNDRED AND TWENTY FIVE DOLLARS!!! 😡 I got an email about NOCD going to $210 per 1 hour session. It was $170 when I did it, which was already ridiculous and I felt taken advantage of for sure. Am I the only one who thinks this is just ripping off people when they're down and suffering and desperate for help? Doesn't it seem predatory and exploitative? That is a lot of money . . . and I'm now about $8,500 into getting help for my ROCD and BDDBP. The way I see it, $80 a session would be unreasonably high but $225?!?! $210??!? It’s just Insulting and a scam, especially when people (like me) were suffering so much they couldn’t hold down a job and can already barely afford food and rent. Do you agree?
