New York, NY, April 23, 2025:  Thriveworks, a leading provider of talk therapy and psychiatry services nationwide has announced its partnership with NOCD , a national leader in exposure and response prevention (ERP) for obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD).

This new referral pathway will provide patients in care with NOCD with access to ongoing, high-quality mental health support through talk therapy and psychiatric services from Thriveworks.  Similarly, Thriveworks clients who have been identified as requiring additional support can continue seeing their Thriveworks clinician while also receiving specialized ERP therapy at NOCD, providing them with the full range of care for their needs. 

Dr. Dan Frogel, CEO of Thriveworks, said, “At Thriveworks, we’re committed to providing people with the right level of care, when and where they need it. We know OCD has a high comorbidity rate for other mental health disorders, yet care is often fragmented.
