About Conicia
Common questions about Conicia
Plain answers about what Conicia is, who made it, what it costs, and how it fits alongside professional OCD care.
What is Conicia?
Conicia for OCD is a step-by-step program for understanding obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) and building skills for daily life, from a psychiatrist who has treated OCD since 2012. It is built on exposure and response prevention (ERP), the first-line psychotherapy for OCD, and informed by inference-based CBT. You can use it on your own, or alongside the care you already have.
Conicia is written for adults 18 and over. It is educational and is not a substitute for diagnosis, assessment, or treatment by a licensed clinician.
Who made Conicia?
Conicia was created and is clinically directed by Weston Scott Fisher, MD, a psychiatrist who treats OCD. He reviews and approves every lesson and every article before it publishes. Drafts are prepared with editorial and AI assistance, and his clinical review governs what Conicia says. The full process, in his own words, is at How this was made.
There is no chatbot on this site, on purpose. An answer machine that never tires of the same question can turn into a compulsion with a text box, so AI works behind the scenes here, never between you and the material.
What does Conicia cost?
Your account is free to create, and your first two lessons and three relief tools are free to use. The full program is a subscription: $20 per month or $144 per year. For clinicians, the dashboard is $10 per month, and there is a separate self-paced, accredited 6-hour CE and CME course.
The article library is free for everyone, with no account needed.
Can I use Conicia with my therapist or psychiatrist?
Yes. Conicia Together is one OCD program you and your clinician share, so the work continues between sessions: your clinician can see the program work you choose to share and build on it in your appointments. Many people also use Conicia on their own, or connect a clinician later.
Is Conicia therapy?
No. Conicia is structured education and skills practice. It does not diagnose any condition, and it is not a substitute for professional medical advice or for treatment by a licensed clinician. If you are deciding about treatment, the Conicia library explains what evidence-based OCD treatment looks like and how to find it.
