NOCD is the #1 telehealth provider for the treatment of obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD). OCD is one of the most severe, prevalent, and misunderstood mental health conditions. NOCD creates access to online therapy for people with OCD through our telehealth platform. In the NOCD app, members can quickly access and schedule live, face-to-face video therapy sessions with our national network of licensed therapists that specialize in Exposure and Response Prevention Therapy (ERP) - considered the "gold standard" in OCD treatment.
At NOCD, we help people reclaim their lives with clinically proven OCD treatment, by removing barriers to OCD care, and reducing the stigma associated with OCD. We're changing the world and need other like-minded individuals to accelerate and expand our efforts.
More About NOCD
Obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) is a stigmatized and mistreated chronic condition that affects over 8.25 million Americans and 181 million people globally. Often perceived as a personality quirk, this mental illness is far more severe than is currently understood. It's ranked by the W.H.O as a top 10 most disabling condition, causes people to become 10x more likely to die by suicide when left untreated, and costs the healthcare systems tens of billions of dollars annually. Yet, despite its prevalence, severity, and costliness, OCD is treatable. People with the condition can get better by doing a specific type of therapy called Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP), although specialists who deliver ERP historically have months-to-years-long waitlists and cost 3X more per session than generalist therapists. As a result, people with OCD today suffer for 14-17 years on average before getting effective care, leading to many preventable suicides and overdoses.
Co-Founder and CEO Stephen Smith formally launched NOCD in January 2018 to end this crisis, inspired by his personal experience suffering with OCD and the challenges he faced navigating the behavioral health treatment system. After being misdiagnosed 5 times and receiving harmful care that caused severe depression, Smith finally figured out he was experiencing OCD symptoms, which prompted him to find a licensed therapist that specialized in ERP. The specialist had almost a year-long waitlist, cost over $350 out-of-pocket per session, and was unavailable for support between sessions; but with the help of a family member, Smith eventually found a way to see the OCD specialist, get formally diagnosed with OCD, receive ERP Therapy, and regain his life. His experience catalyzed NOCD's creation.
NOCD is ending the global OCD crisis by using its community built by content to identify people with OCD in places where they feel comfortable seeking help (often online) and bringing care to them in those settings using NOCD's virtual therapy platform. Inside NOCD's platform, people with OCD can do live face-to-face virtual therapy sessions with a licensed therapist that specializes in OCD from NOCD's ERP-trained network, as well as receive always-on support between sessions from peer communities, self-help tools, and asynchronous messaging. The largest peer-reviewed OCD treatment study ever recorded proved that NOCD Therapy can significantly reduce OCD and comorbidity symptom severity in less than 14 hours of clinical time on average, the most effective and efficient OCD treatment model in history.
The model's operational and clinical efficacy has rapidly made NOCD the world's leader in OCD treatment. The company serves the world's largest OCD peer community, with hundreds of thousands of people per month engaging in it online. In addition, NOCD manages the world's largest and most-proven OCD-specialty provider network, annually conducting nearly a half million ERP therapy sessions, serving tens of thousands of people with OCD, and extending insurance-sponsored care to over 150 million Americans. Now, evidence-based OCD treatment can be accessed within 7 days, in all fifty states, and as an insurance-covered benefit to about half of the United States population!
The company's success has led top venture capital and private equity firms to invest in it. Since the company's founding, NOCD has raised $85 Million from strategic investors such as 7wire Ventures, F-Prime Capital, Eight Roads Capital, Kaiser Permanente Ventures, Cigna Ventures, Longitude Capital, Health Enterprise Partners, Chicago Ventures, Hyde Park Angels, and more. Moreover, one of the most successful CEO's in healthcare history, Glen Tullman, who scaled Allscripts, sold his previous company, Livongo for $18.5B, and has scaled Transcarent, is NOCD's Executive Chairman, and Howie Mandel is the company's spokesperson.
The investors not only view NOCD as the leader in OCD (and likely market winner), a $10 Billion opportunity, but also as the leader in building a new, better, outpatient behavioral healthcare system for the world's most severe and stigmatized communities. NOCD has used its innovative care delivery model to build a new outpatient behavioral health system in one severe and stigmatized community- those with OCD and related conditions- and its scale has shown its clear opportunity to expand its model, "community-driven therapy," to others.
