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

Who are the best OCD therapists in Hawaii?

Based on the OLEE Index, the highest-scoring OCD specialists in Hawaii are Joseph Lee (85/100), Kimberly Hernandez (78/100) and Lisa Phillips (72/100). Scores reflect publicly verifiable evidence of OCD expertise, including how clearly a provider uses exposure and response prevention (ERP), how central OCD is to their practice, and specialized training.

How many OCD specialists are there in Hawaii?

OLEE has scored 15 providers in Hawaii who list OCD as a focus. 1 of them score 80 or higher, meaning strong public evidence of OCD-specific training and ERP.

Can I see an OCD therapist in Hawaii by telehealth?

Yes. 8 of the providers we scored in Hawaii offer telehealth. A therapist generally needs to be licensed in the state where you are located during sessions, so look for one licensed in Hawaii, or one who participates in an interstate licensing compact that covers Hawaii.

Are there OCD therapists for children and teens in Hawaii?

Yes. 1 providers in Hawaii list children or adolescents among the people they treat. For kids, look for family-based ERP, where parents learn to reduce accommodation at home.

What should I look for in an OCD therapist?

Look for someone who specifically uses exposure and response prevention (ERP), the first-line therapy for OCD, 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 and how they handle mental compulsions and reassurance-seeking.

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).
