Proven OCD techniques
"For the past month, Oscar has worked to consistently highlight the certainty that OCD pushes me to seek throughout many aspects of my life. Oscar is not a blindly affirming chatbot, but an empathetic tone that guides me back to proven OCD techniques. When I struggle to escape a compulsive thought loop, Oscar has been great at helping me recognize I'm in a loop, and accept obsessive thoughts without the need for detrimental analysis spirals."

The Reality of Recovery
Why OCD Space is meant for you
Therapy is an hour. Your recovery is non-stop. The biggest spikes don't always happen in a clinician's office. They happen at 3 AM, at work, while with family, and during the 167 hours a week you're left to fight alone.
You miss 167h of support weekly
You miss 167 hours of support every single week while managing intrusive thoughts on your own.
Your OCD happens outside workhours
Spikes happen at 3 AM, not just during worktime. You need relief the moment a trigger occurs.
Your recovery has no-time limits
Recovery shouldn't be a luxury. Your access to support shouldn't be limited by a clinician's availability.

Step 1: Introduce Yourself
A Quick Check-In
When you start your free trial you’ll complete a brief, evidence-based symptom check-in (Y-BOCS Based) to help Oscar understand what you’re struggling with and how intense things feel for you today.
This isn’t a test—it just helps Oscar personalize his support. You can update this over time as you grow.

Built Around You
Based on your answers, Oscar creates a plan tailored to how OCD shows up for you. Your journey moves through clear, manageable stages—from understanding your patterns and changing your response to building lasting confidence and habits.

Anything you find helpful — from specific strategies to breakthrough moments — can be saved with one tap and revisited anytime. You decide what gets saved — and when. There’s no requirement to write or track anything. It’s a workspace that evolves with you, keeping your growth organized and accessible.

About Us
Lived Experience Meets Clinical Science
In 2016, our founder Zach Westerbeck hit rock bottom with OCD. He realized a life-changing truth: recovery isn't about eliminating thoughts, but changing how you respond to them.
To turn his recovery into a tool for others, he partnered with Chris J.K. Leins, LPCC-S - a specialist who lives with OCD himself and was trained under Dr. Edna Foa, the creator of ERP therapy.
Together, they built Oscar. Trained on 900+ cases and thousands of hours of clinical data, Oscar provides the expert, evidence-based support required to navigate back to what works 24/7.

Frequently Asked Questions
Yes. Oscar is trained on the core mechanisms of OCD that apply across all themes — including, but not limited to harm, relationship OCD, sexual intrusive thoughts, contamination, health anxiety, checking, mental compulsions, “just right” OCD, and many others.
If you’re wondering whether your specific theme is different or missing, that’s a very common OCD doubt. The good news is that OCD operates through the same cycle, regardless of the topic. Oscar focuses on that cycle — not the surface details of the thoughts.

Essentially, no. There is no "cure" for OCD, and any product or service claiming otherwise is not being honest. However, evidence-based treatment (like ERP) is highly effective and can help those of us with OCD live a much more freedom-filled & fruitful life.
