Find the right specialist

How to find a qualified OCD specialist on OLEE

Most therapists who list OCD were never trained in the treatment that works. Here’s how to find one who was.

  1. Search your state, sorted by score

    Open OLEE search, choose your state and sort by score. We scored more than 5,000 OCD providers on publicly verifiable evidence of OCD expertise. No one pays to be listed or ranked.

  2. Narrow it to what you need

    Filter for telehealth, your insurance, accepting new patients or Spanish-speaking providers.

  3. Check “What we verified” on each profile

    Every profile shows the evidence behind the score. Look for: A clear description of how they use exposure and response prevention (ERP); specialized OCD training such as the IOCDF’s Behavior Therapy Training Institute (BTTI); and an International OCD Foundation listing.

  4. Ask before you book

    “Do you use exposure and response prevention, and where were you trained in it?” and “How many of your current clients have OCD?” A real specialist answers clearly and specifically.

FAQ

Which top OCD therapists in Colorado are accepting new patients?

Based on the OLEE Index, the highest-scoring OCD specialists in Colorado who appear to be accepting new patients are Josh Kaplan (95/100), Eliza Lanzillo (92/100) and Dr. Julia Carbonella (91/100). Availability changes often, so confirm directly when you reach out.

How do you know a therapist is accepting new patients?

We use what providers publicly state on their profiles and websites. Availability changes quickly, so treat it as a starting point and confirm directly.

What if the OCD specialist I want has a waitlist?

Ask to be added to the waitlist and whether they offer a consultation or group in the meantime. You can also look for a telehealth OCD specialist licensed in your state, which often widens your options considerably.

What should I look for in an OCD therapist?

Look for someone who specifically uses exposure and response prevention (ERP) and for whom OCD is a large part of their caseload. Specialized training such as the IOCDF Behavior Therapy Training Institute (BTTI) is a strong signal. Ask how many of their current clients have OCD.

OLEE scores measure publicly verifiable signals of OCD expertise, not treatment outcomes. Always confirm licensure, availability and fit directly with a provider. If you are in crisis, call or text 988 (US).
