About NOCD
NOCD is the nation's largest provider of virtual therapy for Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder, founded in 2018 by Stephen Smith who struggled to find accessible OCD treatment himself. Headquartered in Chicago, Illinois, NOCD has raised over $90 million in funding and employs more than 500 licensed therapists specializing in Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP), the gold-standard treatment for OCD. The platform offers video-based therapy sessions complemented by a mobile app that provides between-session support, including tools for tracking exposures and messaging therapists. NOCD accepts most major insurance plans including Aetna, Cigna, Optum/UnitedHealthcare, and various Blue Cross Blue Shield plans, making specialized OCD treatment accessible and affordable. For therapists, NOCD provides comprehensive ERP training, handles all credentialing and billing, and offers competitive W-2 employment with benefits. The company has treated over 100,000 patients and has partnerships with many health systems and employers seeking to offer OCD treatment as part of their mental health benefits.
