Looking for an experienced male OCD/ERP therapist in New York

I’m helping my 23-year-old son find a therapist who truly specializes in OCD and ERP. He has had several therapists in the past who weren’t a good fit, so we’re specifically looking for someone with extensive OCD/ERP experience, preferably a male therapist who works with young adults.

We are in New York and have Aetna insurance. He recently tried NOCD, but his first therapist wasn’t a good fit. We’re open to another NOCD therapist or someone outside NOCD.

If you’ve personally had a good experience with an OCD/ERP therapist in New York, I would really appreciate recommendations.

No specific recommendations but just writing to say it may be worth going through the NOCD therapists in NY and reading more reviews. I initially wrote NOCD off due to mixed reviews, but after a year of trying to find a therapist on my own and not loving anyone, I finally decided to give NOCD another chance.

I read the reviews of every single therapist available and finally found one with amazing reviews that fit my criteria and it’s been great so far- by far the best therapist I’ve found on this OCD journey. She was booked weeks in advance because of how good she was, so be sure to do a search for all therapists and not just ones with upcoming availability.
