What It's Like To Be A NOCD Therapist

Get to know OCD

Show Notes

Barbara Windeknecht and Alexi Pyles have both worked traditional therapy jobs so they know what the tradeoffs usually look like: commuting, shared offices, rigid schedules, and trying to squeeze the rest of life around the work. At NOCD, they’ve found something different: a fully remote setup where they can see members from home, build schedules that actually fit their lives, and still feel connected to a larger team of clinicians doing the same work. In this video, they walk you through what that day-to-day looks like and why this setup helps them show up better for the people they treat.

If you’re ready to deepen your ERP skills and work somewhere specialized OCD treatment is the focus — not an afterthought — explore joining the team at NOCD: https://learn.nocd.com/therapist_careers
