What Members are saying about NOCD

Stephanie has been so supportive through my process of understanding my condition to how I can take action. I am grateful to have her help me on this journey.

My experience and my healing through NOCD with my therapist Kat Thompson has been life changing. I lived many years with OCD not knowing it. I was excellent at distracting and keeping busy and then one day after many life changes my OCD came to the forefront like no other time in my life and became totally unmanageable. I have never been so scared. From my very first meeting with Kat, I had a sense I was where I needed to be to get better. Kat is kind, attentive, patient and motivates me in non-intimidating way. I trust her completely. What a comfort it is to have somebody who is on your team who cares just as much as I do that I get better. I still have some more work to do but I believe with my entire being that I am going to be OK thanks to NOCD and Kat. I am getting my life back.

I greatly appreciate that Val was able to help me form a strategy on how to manage my compulsions in real-life triggering scenarios, by helping me to understand what responses I could use to challenge those compulsions, and accept uncertainty. The sessions that I have with her greatly motivate me to stay dedicated to the path of OCD recovery.

Each time I meet with Liisa she gives me valuable advice and tools that I can use in my everyday life; things that I would not have realized would be so helpful. I am only a few months into therapy but things have changed dramatically! My worry is so much less! Instead I have an unfamiliar sense of calm - I cannot say thank you enough for such an exceptional therapist and a program that really does work! THANK YOU!

While I searched forever for an in person provider, I am so glad I found NOCD—I had two therapists and Marah was my second. I finished treatment a while ago and I can finally drive (anywhere and everywhere!) so life looks so different now I still can’t believe it. I also wanted to let others know that Marah is especially good at dealing with taboo/unconventional/niche themes and that’s so hard to find. Realizing that my fears of faking illnesses/being all kinds of a terrible person etc. has changed my life profoundly and I don’t feel like a fundamentally broken person anymore…I just have a bit of a broken neural pathway but hey everyone has something. Marah will stick by your side and do whatever they can to help and having a provider with that attitude makes a big difference! I’m now in school to become a therapist and naturally, my specialty will be ocd :)

Great! I got so much help from Liz to know how to respond to my son when I trigger his OCD.

Before staring therapy, I was struggling with Relationship OCD and was terrified that I would lose my relationship because of my fears. Because I didn’t know it was OCD, I was fighting between parts of myself that knew my fears weren’t true and the undiagnosed that was fighting against my logic at all costs. I was introduced to NOCD and after getting diagnosed, my therapist Gail taught me how OCD acted and how to overcome it. Almost 6 months after starting therapy, after putting in the hard work required to recognize OCD patterns and work to rewire them, I can confidently say that I feel so much better and am confident and hopeful in my future! Thank you Gail and thank you NOCD <3

I worked with Allen K. over the past few months and made life-changing progress on managing my OCD. Allen was so supportive throughout our time working together, providing me a safe space to share all the difficult details of my OCD experience. When it came to ERP treatment, he helped me find a balanced approach to pushing myself through incremental progress. I’m so grateful for his guidance and expertise, and I’ll be happily reminding myself “Maybe. Maybe not.” to maintain the progress I made working with him.

I have been through so many therapists in my life, but none of them have ever helped me the way Lauren has. Lauren truly saved my life. I was in a bad way when I started therapy with her, and within a year’s time I can feel the difference our sessions have made. Lauren has a way of holding you accountable while also being kind, caring, and compassionate all at the same time. Lauren came into my life and helped me in a way I feel I could never repay her. There are not enough good things I could say about her and I am eternally grateful to NOCD for introducing me to her.

Doing well with practicing my exposure therapy and seeing significant reduction in anxiety when triggered. Aaron works well with me and I appreciate his process.

Tracy has helped me overcome my fears and rebuild my life. She treats me as a whole person, not just as OCD. I appreciate her ability to be no-nonsense when I need it.

Nick is a fantastic provider and I have really enjoyed working with him. He is very insightful and really dedicated to helping through these complicated issues.

Kellie is incredible. I cannot say how much my work with her has changed my life. I never thought my ocd would improve so much and am so thankful for her care and expertise!

I really enjoy talking with Cathy and time really flies by. She’s funny and also very knowledgeable. She is easy to talk to and understanding of all situations. I appreciate it greatly!

As always the best with Anastasia. She listens, remembers and gives great feedback.

My therapist, Malini, is an absolute pro when it comes to OCD treatment. When I first booked a session with her in November, I thought I was going to suffer for the rest of my life and was debating in-patient treatment. I saw her 2 -3 times a week to help with my struggles. She was never judgmental when I was crying and was always supportive without feeding into reassurance complusions. This is an amazing talent because that is a very thin line to walk on as an OCD professional. Before meeting with her, intrusive thoughts and complusions plagued my life for what felt like 10 hours a day. After only 4 months of sessions, I barely have any intrusive thoughts at all and when I do, I know how to handle them without complusions through the techniques she taught me. I sincerely feel like Malini has changed and saved my life. Without her, I would be battling, on the very of a mental breakdown from this invisible disease. Now, I am happier than ever and feel incredibly mentally stable. I hope everyone suffering with OCD has the opportunity to receive the treatment I did and to meet a therapist as hardworking, understanding, and intelligent as Malini. I could not recommend her services and NOCD enough. If I could, I would give her 100 stars.

jeff is the best. saved my life.

Sarah is very calm, cool and collected as I navigate the myriad of ocd and stinking thinking scenarios that I have. She validates me, corrects my mismanaged thoughts and helps me to know that, although a difficult path, the benefits of daily practice and ERP can help mitigate the symptoms of ocd and formulate ways to combat the pestering thoughts. I hope everyone can have the help they need through NoCD like Sarah provides!

Katie is great to work with. She’s very personable and easy to connect with. I appreciate her willingness and honesty to help me through this difficult time. She’s great at listening and challenging me to be true to myself. She also has a great way of lightening up the conversation at times and brining in a few jokes which makes me more comfortable!

Dan has great insights and advice ! I always feel better after a session.
