What Members are saying about NOCD

I feel so much better after working with Kim. I am incredibly grateful to her for helping me live my life again.

Judy is the most awesomest therapist ever and always give relevant examples and ties them to things that are of interest to you and the coolest part is she is a faith based counselor who loves Jesus and ties your faith with your therapy she is awesome and give more stars if i could!

Brooke is an incredible therapist. Love her and all she’s helped me with. I have come so far since this year and gone through some of the toughest challenges of my life but since I had been going to Brooke I was able to handle all that life threw at me. Very grateful for her.

He creates a truly open and non-judgmental space where I feel safe talking about taboo themes and heavy emotional baggage. Unlike past therapists, he doesn’t feed into my compulsions with reassurance, but gently helps me recognize and understand the cycle more clearly over time. I highly recommend Aaron, especially for men who are struggling with taboo themes and men’s mental health challenges.

I have been with NOCD for a couple of years and have had some great therapists. Paula was amazing and eventually got promoted so I was paired with Lisa Marie Porter. She was like a best friend and so easy to talk to and so understanding. Provided me with great advice and tools. I am so glad I was paired with these great therapists and joined NOCD. I even called in a couple of times when things got extra heavy and the ladies who answered the phone were also very helpful. Thank you to this wonderful team! (:

Therapy has been life changing for me and Monica has been an amazing therapist! She is very understanding and gives me the tools necessary to treat my OCD effectively

Justin helped me tremendously with not just my OCD, but in helping me to care about myself. It was always clear that he genuinely cared about real improvement—not comfort or avoidance, but actual change. I may have called him a jerk a few times along the way, but I’m deeply grateful that he pushed me so hard and refused to let me sell myself short or stay stuck. He knew I could do better even when I didn’t. He pushed me to take better care of myself and to work on all areas of my life, not just my symptoms. He wanted me to grow as a whole person, and he consistently challenged me to move toward goals I didn’t yet believe I was capable of. Because of his encouragement and support, I started going to school and began building a future instead of just managing my OCD. I can honestly say he cared deeply about my life, not just my diagnosis, and that kind of investment changes people. I will always be grateful for the role he played in helping me become someone I didn’t think I could be. His belief in me mattered more than he probably knows.

Allen Kester is absolutely fantastic and I’m so excited to dig deeper with him. It’s taken me so long to find the right therapist and he is PERFECT!!

I feel relieved being able to see a way that I can get better.

Lauren is a wonderful provider! She's warm and has so much knowledge about OCD and therapies she recommends. I went from barely functioning as a human to going back to work, taking my kids school, and being social. I don't think I could have done that without her guidance!

I’ve been in and out of therapy since I was a kid, and Ken is truly the best therapist I’ve ever had! From the very beginning, he was so easy to build rapport with. Ken is extremely compassionate, understanding, and encouraging. He never hesitates to remind me of my wins, no matter how small I might think they are. I also love how flexible Ken is with our sessions. Some days, we tackle the OCD hard and get a lot of exposure and response prevention practice in. Other days (like today) I come to session overwhelmed and in tears, so he provides a patient, supportive listening ear with helpful advice on how to move forward. I couldn’t be more grateful for Ken. The progress I’ve made is substantial, and there’s no way I could’ve done that without his guidance!

I feel like we are going in the right direction at a good pace

Kellie creates a welcoming environment where I feel safe expressing myself. She is always compassionate and empathetic but holds me accountable because she truly wants the best for me. I highly recommend working with Kellie especially if you are committed to making a positive change in your life.

Melissa Arena is a wonderful therapist and has helped me make major progress with learning to deal with my emotions, anxiety and ocd.

I am really struggling with OCD. My kids are also. Andre is helping me to understand the dynamics of my struggles with OCD and giving me one thing to work on each session.

I understand things come up last minute, but this therapist rescheduled another time without asking if it would work for me and then said she was not available for a few weeks when I couldn't make the appt. she had rescheduled to, yet she had availability for the next day.

Rachel has been incredibly dedicated and supportive throughout my work with NOCD. She shows up consistently, pays close attention, and genuinely cares about helping you move forward, not just get through the session. She has a calm, steady way of guiding the process that makes even very difficult moments feel manageable. She’s thoughtful, patient, and deeply knowledgeable, but what really stands out is how present she is. She also knows exactly when to use humor to take the edge off without minimizing what you are dealing with, which makes a huge difference on the hard days. Her approach has helped me understand my patterns more clearly and given me practical tools I actually use in real life. I’ve felt supported while also being appropriately challenged, and sometimes gently laughed out of my own mental loops, which has been genuinely helpful. I’m very grateful to be working with Rachel and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a therapist who is both compassionate, effective, and human.

Barbara is very kind and explains everything very well. She’s a good therapist and person to work with in combatting OCD.

Adam is an answer to prayer for our family. He goes above and beyond to connect with our 9 year old son and motivate him to overcome some difficult and debilitating obsessions, compulsions, and negative thinking loops. Adam is a lot of fun, genuine, caring and so knowledgeable and supportive. We love the added text support for those crisis days too! We are so incredibly grateful for NOCD and especially ADAM! My son thinks maybe he’s actually an angel 😇 in disguise because he finds him so helpful and a real life line as he faces new challenges that OCD tries to throw at him and the whole family 👍. Thank you Adam!!

Kellie is a great therapist. She meets you where you are but pushes you just enough to get you where you need to be. She is calm and collected & has undivided attention during our sessions. She brings a “I believe in you” attitude that makes therapy exciting even when it’s uncomfortable. I am able to look forward to therapy rather than dread it when it comes to Kellie because although we may do hard exposures, I know it will benefit me and I have great support with Kellie.
