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

Who are the best Spanish-speaking OCD therapists in New York?

Based on the OLEE Index, the highest-scoring OCD specialists in New York who offer therapy in Spanish are Dujardin Bonet (87/100), John Silvestre (85/100) and Carlos Rivera (82/100).

¿Hay terapeutas de TOC que hablen español?

Sí. Esta página muestra especialistas en TOC en New York que ofrecen terapia en español, clasificados según la evidencia pública de su experiencia en exposición con prevención de respuesta (EPR).

Does therapy language matter for OCD treatment?

It can. OCD treatment depends on describing intrusive thoughts and rituals in detail, and many people find that easier in their first language. It also makes it easier to involve family members in treatment.

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).
