What Members are saying about NOCD

I cannot say enough good things about Lisa Marie Porter and the impact she has had on me. I have struggled with PTSD since being involved in a car accident in 2020, and working with Lisa has helped me tremendously. One of the things I appreciated most about Lisa was how laid-back and easy she was to talk to while still holding me accountable and encouraging me to push myself. I always felt comfortable being honest with her, even when I was struggling or didn’t want to do an exposure. She never made me feel judged, but she also didn’t let me give up on myself. Lisa genuinely cared about me as a person, not just as a client going through treatment. There was even a time when I really needed someone to talk to about something completely unrelated to my treatment, and she was kind enough to give me the space to vent and talk through what I was dealing with. That meant so much to me. She also went above and beyond when it came to helping me work through my fears. She was constantly willing to brainstorm different approaches when something wasn’t working and even advocated for me to have opportunities to practice certain exposures during sessions so I could get more real-life experience and build my confidence. PTSD and anxiety have taken a lot from me over the years, and facing fears that I’ve avoided for a long time hasn’t always been easy. Lisa made the process feel much less overwhelming. She celebrated my progress, challenged me when I needed it, listened when I needed to vent, and reminded me that progress doesn’t have to happen all at once. I am incredibly grateful for the time I spent working with Lisa and for everything she taught me. If you’re looking for a therapist who is compassionate, down-to-earth, supportive, and willing to go the extra mile while still holding you accountable, I would absolutely recommend her. Thank you, Lisa, for everything you’ve done for me and for helping me do things I once didn’t think I could do. -Elizabeth

I so appreciate her expertise.

Julie is an amazing therapist who knew exactly how to help me handle my OCD. She had so many ideas for exposures and ways to lower my anxiety. When I first started at NOCD, I had no idea what my sessions would be like, and I was pretty hesitant. But Julie was so kind and understanding, and I looked forward to every session. The best way to reduce compulsions is to practice a lot--and it was worth it!

Julie Groover has been wonderful to work with. She makes me feel comfortable sharing things and being myself. She genuinely listens and tailors the sessions in a way that makes sense for me. I’m very appreciative of the care I’ve received so far and look forward to continuing my progress.

Very receptive and listened well and understood me

My session with Gary today was so so helpful. I had a really rough weekend after a trigger on Thursday night, and so my boyfriend encouraged me to meet with him before my next scheduled time (in October). He helped me understand the situation and factors that triggered me so badly and why I reacted the way I did. He also gave me tips for when to not overwhelm myself with exposures. So grateful for him!

My provider was unavailable for my session, so Katie stepped in to help keep me on track. I was apprehensive at first, but Katie had such a welcoming and friendly energy that I immediately relaxed into the session. She gave me some great reframes and tools, I’m so thankful!

Kerry is a talented, wonderful therapist . Kerry is easy to talk with, Kerry is an active Listener who provides guidance and support to delve into the heart of the matter. Sessions with Kerry are insightful and impactful. I appreciate her asking the right questions. So thankful to have found Kerry through NOCD, I look forward to my sessions with her and progressing each week.

Angie is so knowledgeable and responsive when it comes to my treatment!

Natalia is the best. She's a great therapist, but she also makes me feel like im talking to a close friend.

Great session!

Alicia is kind and gentle in her practice:)

Steven has been wonderful to work with. He really listens, gives us practical feedback and recommendations, and helps guide us without making the whole process feel overwhelming. He also genuinely cares about connecting with our 11 year-old son. He’s teaching our son, but also teaching us just as much as parents. We really value his insight and feel very lucky to have found him 🙌

Alex was the right person at the right time for me in my therapy journey. I am glad that I wad paired with her.

Josh is a really great therapist and human. I greatly appreciate his humor and ability to be patient. He’s wonderful!

My last session felt really good. I feel like I had a big win this week. Rachel has been so supportive and kind. I like how she gently challenges me to pause and see where OCD may be trying to take over my thinking. And reminds me to be kind to myself. I am proud of my progress and feel confident that the work I'm doing will pay off.

Sarah is so insightful and is a talented clinician!! Her empathy is so genuine and she is passionate about helping you find relief. I have tried other forms of traditional talk therapy but ERP is by far the best at leaving me with clear objectives and strategies after each session. Sarah maintains the perfect balance of being relational while staying oriented towards movement and clear strategies. She truly helps resolve areas where you feel stuck or the areas where you started to believe will never get better. With confidence, I can say she is an actual specialist in OCD and implements ERP with fidelity.

Alyza is a good therapist. She feels like the friend that isn’t necessarily going to tell you what you want to hear, but will always tell you what you need to hear. She is neutral in the best way possible, meaning I never feel judged and she is very professional without being cold. She has a calming grounded presence and I always leave the session feeling more ready to take on my OCD. I am very thankful she is my therapist

This was the hardest session I've had. Krista helped me uncover some really difficult avoidance, but was so firm in her support of me. Krista continues to hold me accountable while also focusing on areas that are important to function in my everyday life. Krista continues to celebrate my wins and ensures I stay on track to make meaningful progress.

Love NOCD but my therapist did not address my needs correctly. Upper management stepped in and is doing a great job at addressing this poor experience.
