NBI Ranch is for adults suffering from Anxiety, Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) and Related Conditions who would benefit from a supported living program in addition to their intensive treatment at NBI.
NBI Ranch is in Southwest Ranches, Florida, a serene and beautiful rural town just west of Fort Lauderdale and north of Miami. It's a great setting to start changing your life.
ABOUT NBI RANCH
Together, NBI Ranch founders Drs. Katia Moritz and Jonathan Hoffman have over 50 years of experience and dedication to patients and families impacted by severe Anxiety, OCD and Related Conditions. Overseeing the Ranch Team, they are actively engaged in each resident's care plan.
NBI Ranch is a supported living experience that provides residents with the chance to practice and generalize what they are learning each day in treatment while going about their lives in an enriching and normalized environment.

Healthy Lifestyles Begin at NBI Ranch
One of NBI Ranch’s goals is for residents to have a sense of independence, capability and adventure. Residents are offered nature-based and wellness-enhancing activities, including equine therapy, cultivating the vegetable garden and CBT yoga. Together, residents prepare meals and take care of common living spaces. NBI Ranch is the perfect place to start making your life enjoyable again.
Admission Criteria
Residents are adults with a primary diagnosis of Anxiety, OCD and/or related condition. They must be non-violent nor at imminent risk to self; not acutely psychotic; no history of fire-setting or similar endangerment; able to manage medication(s) independently; can “come and go” without undue risk and have a sufficient “readiness for change.”
Is NBI Ranch The Right Fit?
For NBI Ranch residents, even the most effective clinical treatment alone would be insufficient. There’s a bigger picture. Many have been impacted by extended periods of social isolation. Some, after years of their symptoms being overly accommodated, are difficult to engage, have not learned to properly care for themselves, take initiative, or adhere to a healthy dietary or sleep schedule. Others have lost the joy of life and literally need to learn how to have fun.
NBI Ranch is a place where young adults who have been “beaten down” by Anxiety and OCD Related Conditions can experience mutual support and understanding from peers “who can relate to what they are going through” and start their path toward being an adult not just in name, but in actuality.
Meet our In-House Team
At the frontline of NBI Ranch, Residential Counselors ensure safety and security as well as troubleshoot and communicate any issues that may arise. Always on-premises and awake 24/7, RCs have degrees in related fields and foster teamwork, social communication and problem-solving skills.
The in-house team provides each resident's clinical team at NBI with meaningful data collected daily as designated by a Board-Certified Behavioral Analyst. The integration of this information creates the synergy between treatment at NBI and life at NBI Ranch, thereby improving the prognosis for residents to successfully return home or move on to a “next steps” program.
