Mr Friedman is compassionate, non-judgemental and eases you into the difficult parts. He is also very knowledgeable and knows how to help you apply his knowledge. 

A.K.

Stella is encouraging and so knowledgeable. She is very helpful to me and also is a good teacher. I highly recommend her. She had empathy and holds space for issue and feelings and celebrates successes. 

B.H.

My therapist was very professional, yet empathetic. I felt safe enough to discuss my symptoms. So far, so good

A.T.

My therapist was Very thorough and explanatory. She seemed like she really understood what I was saying and I felt heard. I believe she’s going to be very helpful.

A.R.

I like Andrew. He seems locked in and I’m optimistic

J.D.

Clint just makes it so simple for me to understand.  I just need to listen! 

S.K.

She always makes me feel validated in what I’m feeling. I always feel more hopeful after my treatment.

K.W.

Melissa is awesome...very knowledgeable, patient, and encouraging!

E.M.

Danielle is helping me with exposures and response again and assigning new areas to work on the next 2 weeks. 

R.O.

My therapist is great. He helped me a lot with a hard issue I had been dealing with and still made sure we were able to discuss my OCD specific issues as well. He seems to genuinely care about helping people which has made the sometimes difficult (but very worth it) process of going through ERP a lot easier. Being able to trust what my therapist says makes facing the fears a lot less scary

S.Ö.

The session was well paced, did not feel rushed, was given some good ideas of how to respond to thought patterns. 

M.T.

I don’t know. There is a lot to understand 

R.M.

There is a lot to understand, and OCD will want you to doubt that you can do this, but we believe that you can do this and learn to ignore those OCD doubts!!

April is excellent.. Fantastic first session 

D.R.

O.O.

I did a few sessions with April and it was great! Thankfully after around 4 sessions i had a strong mindset shift and since then i have little to no ocd symptoms so i stopped treatment. If i do get in serious trouble with ocd in the future I'll definitely go with nocd again for help :)

K.K.

I had a good experience with nocd

April is an excellent therapist. Insightful, observant, kind, caring and leaves me with homework to help me make a full recovery. 
Very pleased with the NOCD organization because of their openness and honesty. Thanks for everything.

J.T.

I can’t speak highly enough of Leah! I’ve spent countless hours and $$$ with other therapists who didn’t understand the intricacies and nuances of panic. And I’m learning I certainly didn’t either. Even though I’m in the early stages of my ERP journey, I finally have some hope that I can take control back of my life and feel like I am in the right hands. Thanks, Leah! 

B.C.

We love that hope is instilled when the right therapy is employed with the right therapist!! Welcome to the NOCD family. 

Skillfully provided guidance with support leading to substantial progress.

E.W.

Fantastic and we hope that it only gets better from here. 

Robyn is an absolute rockstar! ?
I am just incredibly grateful I have the chance to work with her as my ERP therapist as well as have her as an Mental Health advocate whilst I learn to navigate my newly diagnosed, (although it was decades long persuit for this true and correct diagnosis to go alongside my Bipolar I). 
In Robyn I have found someone whom not only BELIEVES me and what I’m saying, but also believes my symptoms are REAL and not made up and are really are intrusive to the point of receiving the official OCD diagnosis. She agrees that I am not the terrible person OCD wants me to believe and accept. She also understands and non judgmentally supports my own kind of debilitating hell consisting of horrific, and just disgustingly appalling and totally unwanted thoughts that would give any neurotypical person nightmares. Through my time consuming the ridiculously mindlessness of “being afraid of everything” and avoiding most things in life, it has completely traumatized me and completely ruined my self esteem, self confidence and self image, it’s just a long heartbreaking story…..and I am at the point where I believe I am deserving of a new happier chapter in the story of my life! Still though, along comes Robyn, and she STILL ACCEPTS me! She is constantly validating me and really just shows the most utmost respect to me through all of this! 
Robyn is incredibly kind and personable and I feel so incredibly fortunate that she was available to take me on as a new client! 
As I am officially starting ERP at my next appointment on July 4th, 2022 and I know life is going to change for me, drastically. It’s going to be a pretty tough at first from what I remember from working on exposure therapy more then a decade ago, and I know with Robyn, the multitude of NOCD support groups I have joined, my own mental health providers outside of NOCD and my lovely family, that anything really and truly is possible! I am ready to face this unwanted entity, (OCD) that wants to control me and see me fail….not this time OCD, I have an army fighting for me, and 3 amazing children to fight for! They deserve a level headed and present mama. I got this, I am scared, but then again I am only human and there has been so many years of fears, phobias, superstitions that got out of control, hellish obsessions and debilitating compulsions. My children deserve the best version of there mom as well as my partner for 26 years does as well, for those reasons I am relentlessly, and on my own, perusing ERP to be the best version of myself for me, I deserve joy and happiness, love and kindness. I just want to be free. 

Thx ☺️ 

C.S.

You do deserve all of those things and more!!! Not just for you but for your entire family. We wish you all the best. 


We are on the same page with my checking compulsions. He gets whats going on and we are on the path to recovery 

S.B.

Keep on that path and keep pushing forward. 

Eri is awesome and a gift from God.
He actively listened and I never feel threatened or reprimanded on things that I can't do at that time.
The ultimate thing was allowing him to see the clutter in my front room.That was a major step towards my healing and self awareness. 
I showed him additional pictures this morning of 3 large bags of trash that he celebrated with me.
Thanks Eri!

T.B.

We love a great celebration of decluttering!!!

I’ve been meeting with Neil for a few weeks now and I’m starting to see progress. It’s a good feeling to know it’s working especially when OCD sneaks back up and tries to trick you. 

M.K.

OCD is one tricky jerk, but you got this and we believe in you!!!!

It was really nice to share my recent accomplishments regarding the mini camping vacation I had l. It made me feel good to know that putting my mind set on positive reinforcements, I can conquer some of my stressful compulsions.

P.M.

Keep that mindset going and do not let OCD's fear of uncertainty stop you from anything. 

Always meets me where I am and knows what I need to progress

T.A.

Sounds like everything one would want in a therapist. 

She was very nice and compassionate and wanted to help.

We appreciate you sharing this feedback. Happy to hear you've formed a great connection with her!

G.W.

Glad to hear you received a warm welcome from your therapist--thank you!


I was very comfortable sharing my experiences with Ursula during my first session with her.

S.F.

Thank you for sharing this feedback, and we are glad to hear that you have had a positive experience with Ursula! We know you will be in great hands with her. 

Ruthie is so sweet and thorough! I'm looking forward to working with her.

C.T.

Thank you for sharing this feedback, and we are glad to hear that you have had a positive experience with Ruthie! We know you are in great hands with her. 

Neil is a fantastic therapist and I’m making tremendous progress working with him

C.C.

We love a good progress!! Excellent news!

K.L.

Marcio has been great and very helpful throughout this whole process and learning how to face my OCD. 

J.S.

J.B.

Listened to me, didn’t interrupt, didn’t appear to be judging me and helped clarify some things. Very understanding.

T.H.

Thank you for sharing this feedback, and we are glad to hear that you have had a positive experience with Emily!

Rex could relate to my 10 year old really well and made him feel like he understood exactly what he was going through. 

C.F.

Thank you for sharing this feedback, and we are glad to hear that your child has had a positive experience with Rex!


We are getting to the meat of the therapy. We went through our first ERP exercise, and Kelsey led our daughter and us through very capably. We still have a lot to work through and learn, but we’re so thankful to have Kelsey walking us through it all!

K.M.

Thank you for sharing this feedback, and we are glad to hear that Kelsey has been such a help to your family!

I finally feel hopeful that my daughter will be able to improve.

E.P.

We are hopeful that your NOCD experience will be awesome. 

Very professional, helpful, and informative. 

A.B.

Fantastic - all the things we want in an NOCD therapist. 

Clint pulls everything out the bag to help me.  Much appreciated! 

Thank you for sharing this feedback, and we are glad to hear that you have had a positive experience with Clint!

Tamara has been amazing with my son who is 11 years old. It is difficult for him to open up and talk and Tamara was able to get him to that point in a short time. He feels very comfortable and at ease with her. She is so patient and kind. 

G.B.

We agree on the kindness and are pleased that you find Tamara to be so helpful. 

Jeff has been absolutely amazing. He has great rapport with my 7-yr old, and I'm just amazed at how willing my son is to share things with him. It's generally so hard to find an OCD therapist, and I'm just thrilled with the expertise Jeff clearly has. And we had no local OCD therapists available, so NOCD really filled a gap for us.

F.S.

This is one of the reasons NOCD exists - to make specialists available to people anywhere they may be. 

She is so supportive no matter what crazy thought I throw at her. I feel confident in her knowledge of OCD and anxiety and hopeful in this treatment process. 

A.W.

Thank you for sharing this feedback, and we are glad to hear that you have had a positive experience with Sheena! We know you are in good hands with her. 

My therapist Paulina has really helped me build awareness around my condition. I’ve learned skills to help me reduce my trich and anxiety. 

L.M.

Thank you for the feedback, that is excellent to hear!

Such a compassionate and helpful therapist!

P.F.

She is absolutely the best therapist I have ever worked with! Her advice is so wise, perfectly timed, and always completely addresses my needs.

Thanks for letting us know. We really appreciate it. 

I feel like I am challenged and pushed in the right way and am learning 

Keep learning and keep challenging the OCD - you will see great results!

Marybeth just GETS it! She’s got great intuition and such a pleasant spirit. I genuinely look forward to my sessions with her, and I’m not sure I’ve ever felt that way about therapy before! I always leave sessions with her feeling hopeful and encouraged. I’m so excited to continue this journey! Thanks Marybeth!! 

A.C.

We are thrilled that you are so excited about doing ERP and working with a great therapist!!!

Great first session, felt seen and hopeful of my upcoming journey! She was very kind, helpful and down to earth!

Thanks for letting us know - we appreciate  it. 


Good first session with specific aims. Arlene was kind and patient.

J.H.

Arlene is great-- we love to hear that our therapists are kind, patient, and organized!

Ruthie has been like a steady light in my  darkness. 

T.M.

What a nice compliment - we are very pleased to hear this. 


My therapist is outstanding! I’m so blessed to have Leah! Thank you! 

R.B.

We are thrilled that the experience has been going so well for you. 

Ultimately it’s decided I don’t have ocd but I felt David was very thorough and discussed my experiences in a way that added a lot of light and to my future outcomes as well.  I wish I had a reason to work with him. If you land up with him. Then you’re surely in good hands ✨

N.P.

We're glad you had a positive experience, and that you are able to find awesome treatment for what you are going through!

Whitney is great and I've had the best experience working with her. I would highly recommend her to anyone. 

Wonderful news we know that she will appreciate this. 

I had lot of improvement and felt so happy. 

Well the happiness abounds!! We are happy for you. 

Excellent program and therapist 

I already feel like I’m being heard so much more than my last therapist who only specialized in CBT. Really happy with how things are going after our first two visits.

J.M.

This is great news. We look forward to your continued success.

I felt like I had the courage to finally try and tackle a compulsion

Wonderful to hear that your collaboration with your therapist resulted in you having the courage to resist a compulsion. Keep up the great work!

Very understanding and felt seen as to what I am dealing with

S.G.

So important to feel heard and understood, and I'm glad that's how your therapist made you feel. We appreciate the feedback!

Before I started NOCD in February of 2021, I was silently struggling with OCD since March of 2020. It had taken over everything and it was taking me hours to do simple things like getting dressed, turning off lights, etc. From my first session I knew that NOCD was going to work. My therapist was so sweet and I connected with her immediately and felt comfortable to tell her anything. Now, over a year later, I have control over my life, not my OCD. I highly recommend NOCD!

K.D.

Thank you for sharing this heartwarming feedback with us! We couldn't be more happy for you and grateful for the opportunity to work with you.

NOCD Changed My Life

My first session was great! My therapist Miss Susanne was very nice and knowledgeable! 

L.P.

Really happy to hear that things are off to a good start and you made a nice connection with your therapist! Thank you for sharing the feedback with us.

Another great session, really happy with how things are going. I know this will help change my life. Alfredo is an amazing therapist 

P.T.

We are thrilled to hear that you are benefitting from your work with your therapist. Very appreciative that you were willing to share this with us!

Shezad is very good at his job. His is knowledgeable and very patient

Very pleased to hear this. We hope your experience with NOCD continues to be so great. 

So far I have seen 3 NOCD therapists and Shezad is by far the most knowledgeable and helpful. He has done more in one session than the others in 5 sessions.  5 stars for Shezad.

Fantastic that you and your current therapist have had a great connection. We would like to reach out to you and see what could have been improved in your previous sessions. Dr. McGrath

Keep looking till you find the right fit.

I was really nervous about starting treatment for my ocd. My therapist made me feel not so alone in that he completely understood the fear I am experiencing. I trust that I can go forward at a manageable pace now. 

It is very encouraging to hear that you felt comfortable with and understood by your therapist despite some initial nervousness, which is very understandable. We are hopeful that you will find the pace of your therapy manageable and that you have a beneficial experience overall!

My therapist is always very supportive and shares useful tactics. 

We are happy to hear that you appreciate the good support and suggestions from your therapist. Thank you for taking the time to let us know about your positive experience!

Always great to have a therapist who is both nice and knowledgeable. Thank you for letting us know. Take good care!

Teda rocks and me and my family truly are grateful for her help. 

We're so pleased to hear that you and your family have found the work with your therapist to be so helpful. Very grateful to you for sharing your feedback with us!

I am learning a lot about my ocd & I am really starting to get somewhere with it. 

T.D.

Wonderful to hear that you are noticing some clear steps taken forward in your recovery journey. We're here to support you every step of the way!

Jamie Fall is the best therapist. I have seen quite a few therapists in my life and she is a keeper!

H.P.

Very happy to hear that you've found a "keeper" in your therapist. Best wishes for a successful outcome, and thank you for sharing the positive feedback with us!

literally love my therapist so much. joined the zoom call with one of the worst panic attacks and she helped calm me down and was just so kind and patient. very grateful to have been given her as a therapist 

j.s.

Fantastic news. So pleased to hear this. And good on you for attending your session even when so anxious!!! 

Super excited to begin ERP with Denissie. She is a great person to talk to and I am confident to overcome OCD thru the upcoming sessions.

R.C.

We are excited for you as well. Keep up the great work and keep going to your sessions!!

Danielle is having me do exposures that will hopefully help me tolerate the uncertainty of the exposure causing harm. She does not force me to do an exposure. 

Awesome - and congrats on learing to tolerate that uncertainty that OCD hates so much and tells you that you should not do!

I am so glad that I attended my session today. The compassion and support that all the staff at NOCD has given me so much hope. If you are on the fence about starting treatment, this is your sign to start ?? I actually look forward to next week’s session rather than dreading it like past OCD therapy sessions


S.S.

We are thrilled that you came to meet with us today and wish you nothing but the best in your sessions moving forward. 


Wonderful! We are equally looking forward to working with you.

Thanks Alysann for all of your help this past year and a half!!

W.K.

You're so welcome. It was a privilege to serve you. Best wishes for continued success!

Was worried about having a man but really felt comfortable and seen. 

B.A.

Very glad that things are off to a good start. At NOCD, we try to ensure that each member has a great experience. Please continue to let us know how we can best serve you.

Reminding me of past techniques and helpful tools. Introducing new ideas

C.P.

It is our sincere hope that you find the techniques and tools you implement with your therapist's guidance to be successful!

NOCD is the hardest and best thing I’ve ever done for myself. I’ve had OCD since second grade and at the height of the pandemic it got so bad I couldn’t walk outside or be in the same room as my partner. I felt helpless and started intensive therapy with NOCD at the recommendation of my regular therapist. 

My NOCD therapist was kind and empathetic but also didn’t let me fall into the trap OCD was putting out for me. 2 years later my OCD is in remission and I can live life without the torture of OCD, I’m feeling my feelings for the first time without OCD covering them up and I feel free. Though the therapy itself is unbelievably challenging it’s worth it if you want to be free from OCD and I can’t thank NOCD and my therapist Sue enough. 

S.D.

Wonderful feedback - thank you for sharing it. Success stories like yours warm our hearts! Thank you for giving us the opportunity to work with you.

Changed my entire life 

E.N.

Great to hear this! Thank you for sharing your feedback with us.

I’ve learned so much about my OCD from my therapist Ruthie. She is always warm and friendly and makes me feel comfortable. 

T.L.

We are very happy to hear that you have benefitted from your work with your therapist. Best wishes for continued success in your therapy!

Great experience

I have found out more about OCD from NOCD than I have in 28 years of having OCD. The app has been a great comfort- from reading forums, life stories of OCD survivors or realizing that OCD has subtypes that I cycle through. The customer service was top notch and also having a peer advisor was wonderful. But when it came to actual therapy I was less impressed. My therapist only seemed interested in the ERP process rather than finding out anything about how my OCD makes me feel-which could help her know what exposures I should be doing. She took days to respond to my messages sometimes and came to sessions underprepared in my opinion. Sessions felt more like a class than a therapy session. She was very easy to talk to and kind but I just didn’t feel a connection that would lead to healing.
Also kudos to NOCD because when there was a billing issue, they took responsibility and ate the cost for which I am super grateful.
Thank you for this beautiful resource. When the time is right I may try another therapist in the future. ERP takes commitment and time which I was lacking at the time being a busy parent.

E.C.

Whereas we are pleased to hear that you found benefit from some aspects of your NOCD experience, we are saddened to learn that you did not have a good experience with your therapist. I will personally follow up to make sure that we learn from this and can improve internally. I would also like to reach out to you personally, if that is okay.
Best,
Dr. Nick Farrell
