Although it was an EARLY morning session, it was somewhat disconcerting that when I was talking my therapist was yawning. I pushed through but it brought up a bunch of self-doubt.

anonymous

Excited to learn whatever tools she can give me!

Danielle was encouraging me as I did an expose of discarding unnecessary paperwork. 

She understands the issues my son has and can pinpoint things he is doing to avoid the real problem. She always brings him back to the real issue at hand and is firm, but supportive through the exposure process each time. 

Discouraged because our adult son will not seek help. We’ve tried many times seeking support and are very concerned about his mental and physical well being presently and in the future. We don’t want to feel hopeless in supporting him. 

Good listener, gives good feedback and advice.  Easy to talk to, and I have made a lot of progress in just 4 sessions and am extremely optimistic and happy with him.

Last week I had some huge milestones in my progress with my contamination OCD thanks be to therapy with Char'lee, I did things I never thought I'd be able to do during the pandemic, it just made it stand out to me even more just how effective therapy has been in helping me see life in the outside world again first-hand. Now, as I'm tasked with some hard (but for a good reason) ERP exercises I need to do for my Just Right OCD and Health Concerns OCD, and encouragement to practice mindfulness for ME (vs. doing things to please others), I TRUST that Char'lee has my best interest in mind. That trust feels really essential in really going out on a limb to take risks I haven't done before and/or have been avoiding. Thankful for NOCD, and for having a legit-qualified therapist like Char'lee.

I feel like he knew exactly what I was trying to say, I felt very understood :)

Best therapist I’ve ever had. So resourceful and intelligent

Not sure if I can afford 2X a week treatment :(

Again, Whitney Peters goes above and beyond. She’s an excellent communicator and also listens. I’ve made progress with her. 

Allie is very supportive and understanding.

My therapist is the right amount of stern and caring. I finally feel like i'm not the only one in the world who deals with these things. I feel that she has the right training and tools - my old therapist would look at me funnny when i explained what i was dealing with. This i feel like is what i need. 

Leela was very nice and a pleasure to talk to. I had my concerns before going to my first session, and was also excited, but Leela helped me feel even more comfortable. I look forward to continuing therapy with NOCD and hopefully with Leela. “Hopefully” because Leela didn’t have a lot of availability coming up, so we had to schedule a few weeks out. 

I’m very excited to continue treatment. I felt as though Leah really understand and heard what I was going through and I feel very happy to continue sessions moving forward

Great session today! There has been alot going on, with Ms. Gershenson's help...it is helping me challenge those difficult stressful moments. So, that I can try to get thru it as best as possible.

Mrs. Gonzalez has been hospitable and empathetic and is a well-rounded therapist. She is knowledgeable and is always respectable. She helped me to develop effective coping skills and I’m grateful for her. She is a valuable asset and your practice is fortunate to have her.

I really enjoyed our sessions, thank you 

She answered all of my questions thoroughly and she remained positive through the session. She got me excited to start the therapy! 

I love the way my therapist can diagnose my problem areas and give me solutions to implement.  Truly feel hopeful of changing my cluttered house.

Mary Beth is very patient and understanding. Even when I was freaking out, she was gentle and helped me settle back into my body.

We had a great session with Amy today.  My daughter was really resistant to the appointment but Amy knew how to connect with her.  

Adriana was very helpful at listening to how my week was going and super supportive of my progress that I have achieved so far. She also did great at helping me with more ERP exercises.

Glad to get help on how to stop my tiggers

All went very good. Making some progress already. 

Updating my review to say that at this appointment, Emma helped to essentially fix a reaction that was interfering with my work and was one of the reasons why I reached out about exposure therapy in the first place!!! 

I was not able to be in work meetings for long before I would have a reaction and have to leave, always missing a lot of it.

Therapy goals were to gradually increase the amount of time that I stay when the reaction starts before leaving. I had tried about 2 times so far.

At this meeting, she helped me break down my thought process and change my way of thinking. The following days, I was able to stay for the entirety of THREE meetings (total 5.5 hours)!!!

Emma makes me feel comfortable and is amazing!!

She’s the best person I have spoken with in regards to my issues. She understands and is patient and respectful.

This is tough work but Carnice really helps us get through it calmly and knowing that it is our choice to make progress and she is there for us along the way.

Jamie is wonderful. It’s good because I didn’t have a great experience with the first therapist I was paired with. But Jamie more than exceeds my expectations. She is a pleasure to work with. 

Excited to start learning more and working through my issues. 

She has a very soothing voice that puts me at ease. 

She calls me on my avoidance and victim behavior. I need this feedback in order to change my behavior.

Robert has a genuine interest in the patient; he’s knowledgeable and has a clear vision on how he can help tackle the disorder depending on the kind of OCD you have. He’s definitely helping get my life back.

I practiced driving car with my therapist Erin, because of the OCD problem I'm not driving till now I'm scared to drive but today I took the switch car, I went down in the parking lot of the apartment with talking with Erin on the zoom phone she stayed with me on the phone then I opened the car door I sat in the car, I switched on the car, I started driving, first I backup the car from the spot then I drove one round in the parking lot, then I came back and parked in the same spot, I was so scared but at the same time I was happy because I did it, we still on the zoom phone talking then we closed the phone so I just want to say,  thank you Erin, you are the best, she let me drive, thank you thank you with my love 🙏🥰

Another wonderful session with Carly. I am feeling more confident with each session. She is very helpful and I’m very thankful for her.

My therapist is very fun, kind, and helpful. He is very helpful to my daughter and every time they meet up with each other she always has a smile on her face.

My therapist, Heather is very nice and understanding. She is knowledgeable and non-judgemental and is helping me find the tools to overcome my OCD.

Maybe this was because I spoke a lot, but I was hoping to get more actionable strategies to try out to help the problem. That also might be coming next session in which case I had no issues. 

I have learned a lot from Alissa so far and we are only on our third session. I am already reaping the benefits from therapy with her!

Paria’s patience is reaaaaallllllllllllly high omg. Thank you Paria!

She pushes my son and keeps him focused on the goal 

Eleni has been amazing. She has really.listen, target effective & hand made proxess & I have my thought back!

I'm excited to start erp. It was not a waste of my time.

Brianna is so kind and patient with my son, Dante. After his session, I notice he is in a better mood 

She had me do a good exposure and helped me through my anxiety from when I shot myself in the foot trying to get reassurance immediately after

I really like my therapist, but sometimes it felt like she was distracted and looking at other things when I share some stuff about how my week was. 

Session went well. Looking forward to learning more about my OCD. So far so good. 

I find that our sessions are very calming. But… we haven’t practiced exposures yet, which I’ve I learned is meant to bring anxiety (and not respond), so th sessions may not always be calming. All in all, they have been good.

She seemed lovely, but I dont know the approach well enough to confirm 5*

Didn’t feel like she understands what I’m saying

Tammy was very understanding, empathic, and encouraging! She showed that she geniurely cares about my health. I'm looking forward to continue this journey with her!!

I just wish we had more time haha. Initially I was worried of speaking with Ken since he seemed a little distant and cold and I was concerned we wouldn’t be a good fit for each other but once you start opening up and talking with him, Ken is really easy going and comfortable to talk with. It’ll take some time to warm up but once you start talking with him he’s quite easy to get along with :). Also very attentive as well and asks great questions!

Ms Courtney is very nice and easy to talk to. I feel like she has the ability to help me with my Anxiety and my OCD. Because I have ADHD its hard for me to remember stuff so I like that she arranged my exposures/homework in the app for me. This process is hard but She makes me feel like there is hope for me.

She continues to be amazing! I couldn’t ask for a better therapist than Alexandra and feel so lucky to be working with her. 

Great first session. Felt at ease and understood. Thank you 

I’m my own rock, but Ruthie is my anchor. 

Great session as always! so appreciative of the helpful and realistic ideas for issues currently experiencing..
Feeling confident about my progress, it's very slow but promising...?

Paria is great at listening and helping me work through stuff

Maria is the best! Very encouraging, not too hard on you but also pushes you to be your best self.

I’m grateful for the space she holds for me. Richelle has helped me regulate my nervous system with her steady, centered presence so that over time I was able to learn & integrate new ways of thinking. Yes, ERP is the focus, but she also knows when I need to process difficult emotions, & never makes me feel less than for needing that support. I am grateful for this opportunity, because it gets passed down to my kids.

Danielle was with me during an exposure giving good support. 

I love how my Hilary listen to me and really felt and was compassionate about my story. I felt a  connection with her

Alysann is great, very knowledgeable and patient. 

I’ve had 2 sessions with Sebastian and I am feeling so good about where we are headed. 

My therapist is great, helped with routine maintenance and gave new erp suggestions. It’s been  4-5 months working with her , I can say with her help a lot of my ocd symptoms have drastically reduced ! I still have moments of uncertainty but I know it’s only ocd . 

My therapist is literally the best. I feel like she’s is committed to my well-being not just with our erp but holistically.  

Jennifer is amazing! She brings such a diversity of support to our sessions. She is kind and understanding but also not afraid to call me out on BS when it’s needed!

It really helped that my therapist also struggles with OCD and understands how frustrating OCD can be. I also liked that she acknowledged there’s no real pattern to it and doesn’t make sense most times. 

I feel hopeful for the first time in a long time that I can receive the help needed to overcome my challenges. 

Tamara is very easy to talk to, you very understanding. Having OCD herself makes me feel very comfortable and knowing she knows what I feel.

My therapist is so awesome! This journey is definitely a cha-cha with two steps forward and one step back but I have regained so much of my life with the skills my therapist has taught me. 

Too soon to tell but hopeful Allie will be able to help!

I felt so anxious and nervous so it was hard, 
But I think he is a good therapist will just take time to get used to this 

I will be working with a therapist in person soon but I do like the way Bethany explains things and I would be willing to work with her again should the in-person not work.

As always, the session was wonderful and I feel more at peace and ready for the rest of the week! 

She was very easy to talk to, was direct and very clear. I really look forward to working with her. 

Jeff is the best therapist i have ever had

Agnes is an amazing therapist. Really makes me feel heard and understands everything that I am saying. Explains ERP thoroughly and skillfully 

Very comfortable environment, I am feeling optimistic

I feel very seen and heard by Char’lee. She has the patience to listen to me and hear me out even with things I feel self-conscience about, while also having the wisdom to help me implement the discipline around my OCD that I need while also helping me learn how to be more compassionate towards myself. She’s also really good at recognizing OCD things in me and challenging them when I think out loud, and points things out I wouldn’t have noticed before. And she is helping me feel a bit more confident in my ability to do things I wouldn’t have otherwise thought I could ever do. Like, maybe things I’ve only dreamed about, can actually happen one day. Grateful. 

My therapist is helping me  be focused on my goal.  I easily can feel
overwhlemed by the  work  that  this entails for me both emotiinally and  physically, to  improve from my  hoarding behavior.

Really love Ruthie, she is helping me so much. Always listens and answers me clearly with zero judgement.

I could not have made it this far without an amazing therapist!!!!

She was very kind, feeling very optimistic! 

Felt seen and heard. My therapist makes it easy for me to open up to her

Alexandra was phenomenal. I have so much hope about the future of my OCD and feel so safe with her! 

Moving right along. Changes are happening. I am surprised how fast a close report was established. Helps me to be transparent 

i think its just my own concern,i will have to take few more sessions to be determined. 

This is such new and scary territory for me. I even had several moments where I began crying bc of unearthed/revisited traumas and Camille was super understanding and allowed there to be space for me to feel the emotions that were presenting themselves.

Brian always has a way of helping me with great examples that can help me see my OCD in another perspective and challenge them.  

Excellent therapist! Easy to share my experiences.
