OCD and Anxiety Center of Minnesota

What OCD and Anxiety Center of Minnesota does

OCD & Anxiety Center of Minnesota (OCDMN) is a private mental health practice founded in 2020 and based at 370 Selby Ave, Suite 215, in Saint Paul, Minnesota, with a small team of approximately five clinicians. The practice specializes exclusively in evidence-based treatment of obsessive-compulsive disorder, anxiety disorders, and related conditions (e.g., harm OCD, contamination OCD, scrupulosity, postpartum OCD, BFRBs such as trichotillomania, and selective mutism), serving children, adolescents, and adults across Minnesota via in-person sessions at the Saint Paul office and statewide telehealth.

Its core service portfolio comprises individual therapy (45- and 60-minute sessions priced $175-$250), group therapy ($60/session), recreational therapy ($120/session), comprehensive psychological assessments ($300/hour for ADHD, OCD, and autism), RO DBT programs for overcontrol profiles, parent coaching through the SPACE protocol, and a clinician-education vertical with continuing education courses, mentorship, and certifications. Underlying "technology" is the integration of multiple evidence-based modalities — Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP), Inference-Based CBT (I-CBT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Radically Open DBT (RO DBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), mindfulness, and recreational therapy — delivered by credentialed specialists. The practice emphasizes clinical director Erin Venker's team plus therapists Marie Monson, Patsy Butterworth, Hannah Ose, and Halen Bower.

OCDMN operates on a private-pay model with support for out-of-network insurance reimbursement via superbills and sliding-scale spots, supplemented by the OCDMN Access Fund (fiscally sponsored by NOPI) that subsidizes care through tax-deductible donations. Go-to-market is a hybrid direct-engagement and community-led motion: clients onboard through website contact forms, while awareness and demand generation come from an educational blog, a resource hub, an email newsletter, and the annual Minnesota OCD Conference. Complementary partnerships include a care-extension collaboration with Introspect Mental Health, a venue partnership with St. Paul College for the conference, and an Access Fund relationship with NOPI.

• NOCD: Digital-first OCD therapy platform offering specialized ERP treatment via telehealth. Directly competes with OCDMN in OCD specialty, with broader geographic reach and insurance participation.

• Rogers Behavioral Health: Established specialty mental health provider with dedicated OCD and anxiety programs across multiple U.S. locations. Overlaps with OCDMN on OCD specialty but operates at much larger scale and offers residential/IOP levels of care.
• McLean Hospital OCD Institute: Harvard-affiliated specialty program for OCD and related disorders with residential, partial hospitalization, and outpatient levels of care. Overlaps in OCD specialty but serves a broader acuity range.
• Talkspace: Large online therapy platform covering multiple specialties including anxiety. Overlaps with OCDMN on therapy services but lacks OCD specialty depth and is insurance-network participating.
• Lindner Center of HOPE: Specialty mental health facility offering outpatient, partial hospitalization, and residential programs including OCD and anxiety. Overlaps with OCDMN on OCD specialty but at a larger institutional scale.

Emerging players

• Two Chairs: Outpatient therapy provider with a curated therapist matching model and in-person plus virtual sessions. Comparable in offering structured, evidence-based outpatient therapy with a curated clinician roster.

Others
