Good questions to ask when you call

1.

What percentage of your caseload is OCD?

Look for: Above 50% is a good sign. Below 20% and they’re a generalist, not a specialist.

2.

Do you use ERP as your primary treatment for OCD?

Look for: They should say yes clearly. CBT alone is not enough for OCD.

3.

Have you treated my specific subtype before?

Look for: Experience with your subtype matters more than general OCD experience.

4.

What does a typical session look like?

Look for: Good answer: exposure exercises, homework between sessions. Red flag: mostly talking about feelings.
