OLEE has scored 11 providers in Grand Rapids who list OCD as a focus. 0 of them score 80 or higher, meaning strong public evidence of OCD-specific training and ERP.
Yes. 5 of the providers we scored in Grand Rapids offer telehealth. A therapist generally needs to be licensed in the state where you are located during sessions, so look for one licensed in Michigan, or one who participates in an interstate licensing compact that covers Michigan.
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).
