What Members are saying about NOCD

I’m still learning about OCD. Natalie Fleming is really helping me through my journey to conquer OCD. She is very knowledgeable on the subject,humble and very easy to talk to.

Kimberly is amazing. She's very understanding, thorough, intentional, encouraging, and knowledgeable. She's helped me immensely and I'm so grateful.

The journey of sperating OCD from myself has been very rewarding and empowering! The act of discovery through ERP has been most impactful. My therapist has been very patient helping me navigate through the emotions and chaos that is OCD.

When I first met Veronica over a year and a half ago, I thought I was truly stuck FOREVER (something which I am sure every person with OCD can relate to). I even said to her when I first met her that I wasn’t even sure if what I was experiencing was OCD anymore. That’s how bad it was. However, with her guidance and support, gradually I got better. Her amazing expertise in many different fields of therapy, as well as her truly lovely personality and warmth, allowed me to trust in her and the process fully. From our first session, I knew that I was in the right place. She would turn up to every session full of joy and smiles and was completely unfazed by any of my deepest darkest OCD fears. Veronica got the balance of the treatment process exactly right. Veronica would never ask me to do any exposure in sessions or for homework that she thought I couldn’t handle, but simultaneously gave me confidence when I needed it that I could take on the higher-level exposures when it came to them. Because I trusted her fully, I knew that I would be able to. I’m glad to say that it has been over a year since I have had any disruption to my life because of OCD, which has been truly life changing. I owe that entirely to Veronica. In my view, she really is one of a kind as a therapist and I really couldn’t recommend her more if you’re looking for OCD treatment.

Last session went very good. I felt comfortable to express my self and talk about my day.I got some good advice and overall had great therapy session.

Morgan is an amazing and knowledgeable therapist. We have been working together for six months on my OCD issues, and she has helped me a lot. She is always attentive and gives helpful assignments. I’m in a much better headspace right now thanks to her.

Incredible. Melissa is the best therapist. She is thoughtful, understanding, and nonjudgmental. She challenges OCD while providing clear instruction and support. I truly accredit my success to her, she has changed my life entirely.

Jen is someone who truly cares about the work that she does. She is so kind and non judgmental. I would recommend her over and over again!

Andrew is an incredible therapist who truly listens and creates a safe, non-judgmental space. He truly helped me shift my perspective with my OCD and taught me to lean into it rather than fight it. His personable approach made all the difference in my treatment. Highly recommend!

Kat is fantastic. The past two sessions including today have somehow given me the impetus to do exposures in my own, and I feel like im making real breakthroughs here.

Lisa has such a great balance of giving feedback and letting me figure things out for myself. She has helped me become more patient, loving, and self-compassionate. I’m so grateful for her help, it makes a profound difference! 💐🌷🪷🪻🌹🌺🌸🌼🌻

When I first started therapy with Ms. Casey, I felt very uncomfortable because of the exposure therapy. At some point, I even wanted to quit. Every time I had a session with her, I would think to myself, “Here we go again.” She was very persistent and sometimes felt pushy about giving me assignments. One day during a session, she asked me to touch my dirty shoes and rub them on my face and arms. The distress I felt at that moment was extremely high. Throughout the exercise, she asked me every few minutes to rate my distress on a scale from 1 to 10. I told her my distress was a 9. She responded, “Okay, we’re not going to stop until your distress level goes down to a 4.” In my mind, I was thinking, “No, please help!” because the anxiety felt overwhelming. The following sessions were also focused on contamination exposures. At that time, I felt like I was not getting any better. Because of that, I told her I wanted to stop therapy. Aside from financial concerns, I genuinely believed the therapy was not helping me, and I felt like giving up. I explained everything to her and expected that she would simply say she understood and allow me to stop. However, instead of giving up on me, she tried to find solutions to the problems I was facing. She encouraged me to continue and showed that she still believed in the process. Because of that, I decided to give therapy another chance and continued working with her. Over time, things slowly began to change. I started to notice improvements in my daily life. Now I am able to touch door handles at home and at work without immediately washing my hands. I can flush the toilet without feeling afraid of contamination from the handle. If my clothes accidentally fall on the floor, I can still wear them without feeling the need to wash them right away. I am able to press elevator buttons without sanitizing my hands afterward. I can touch my phone after touching things in public places. I can also touch my car’s steering wheel without sanitizing my hands or wiping the steering wheel and gear before touching them. My anxiety related to contamination has decreased dramatically. I am also starting to become more open and vulnerable with Ms. Casey. In the beginning, I was very guarded and uncomfortable sharing personal things with her. I felt like I had to hide my true self because I thought she might not understand my behavior or the way I communicate. I live with ADHD, Autism, OCD, Major Depressive Disorder with psychotic features, Generalized Anxiety Disorder, PTSD, and Borderline Personality Disorder. Because of these conditions, interacting with people can be very difficult for me. I often feel worried, stressed, scared of being judged, misunderstood, or rejected. Many times, I felt like I was completely alone and that I was the only person who could understand myself. But through this process, she showed me that I was wrong. She made me feel heard, cared for, understood, and valued. Because of her support, I am beginning to see myself differently and recognize my own progress. She probably does not realize how grateful I am for her patience and dedication. I feel safe under her care, and I want to continue my healing journey with her.

Very hard day but Mike always puts me at ease and gives me real tools to help me deal with everything

Excellent. This has been life changing.

Gina is an amazing therapist. I’m just five sessions, I’ve seen tremendous improvement. She is kind, compassionate, and the most understanding therapist I’ve ever worked with. I cannot recommend her more highly. You won’t regret working with her!

I was able to start identifying and addressing some of my fears and I am looking forward to my next session! Ms. Turner-Harris was very accommodating and patient with my explanations and concerns! It gives me some confidence that my condition can improve.

Excellent therapist. Very supportive with great wisdom.

Amazing. Really feels like every week I'm growing and learning how to better manage the symptoms. I don't feel like OCD is running my life anymore. I feel more in control of my life and how I manage the discomfort in a healthier manner.

This therapy cost me over $400 per session. Those sessions involved endless questionnaires and no actual therapy. Extremely disappointed and feel ripped off.

Ms. Rebecca is an incredible therapist. She is kind, patient, non-judgmental, and encouraging. I have a lot of fun working with her and I feel safe with her. She is very smart and knowledgeable about OCD. I never met anyone or any therapist who is as knowledgeable about OCD as her. For example, before coming to NOCD I use to work with an OCD psychologist who was way too harsh on me. I ended up quitting. So when I signed up for NOCD therapy I was hoping for a better experience and to work with a gentle therapist but helpful at the same time, and Ms. Rebecca exceeded my expectations. I only been working with her for about 2 months and I can already say she is helping me turn into a strong and more self-compassionate woman. We are seeing positive results already, and she is saving my life. I would recommend Ms. Rebecca for anyone!
