When Alessandra Rizzotti first started her therapy career, OCD was barely covered in her training — just a brief mention, without much depth or real guidance on how to treat it. Like many therapists, she had experience with approaches like CBT and DBT, but didn’t truly understand how OCD works or how often it gets missed, misdiagnosed, or treated the wrong way.

In this episode, Alessandra shares how that changed 180 degrees after joining NOCD. She talks about what surprised her most, how her understanding of OCD completely shifted, and what it actually takes to feel confident treating a condition that’s often far more complex than people realize.

At NOCD, we specialize in exposure and response prevention (ERP) therapy, the most effective treatment for OCD—a treatment that can help you live a fulfilling life. If you’re ready to take your first step, book a free 15-minute call with us at https://learn.nocd.com/YT
