Question 1

What is ERP therapy for OCD?

Accepted Answer

If you have seen ERP mentioned and want to know what it involves, it is worth asking before you start.

On Alma, filter therapists in New Haven who treat OCD and look for ERP on profiles.

Question 2

On Alma, read profiles of therapists in New Haven who treat OCD and choose someone you would feel able to talk to.

Question 5

Will I have work to do between OCD sessions?

Question 7

Does insurance cover therapy for OCD in New Haven, CT?

Question 8

Can I get therapy for OCD online in New Haven, CT?

Question 9

Is OCD therapy short-term or ongoing?
