What Members are saying about NOCD

Victorria is a thoughtful therapist who takes time to understand what I need before being outcome (or hierarchy) driven. She always has thought-provoking questions when I'm out of words, and shares useful tools with me.

Irmgard has been an amazing therapist! She is very kind and knowledgeable. I have learned a lot of strategies from her that have been helpful.

Cody has saved my life. No exaggerating when I say that. OCD used to rule my mind, and it's still a battle, but having someone like him, who gets it, makes a world of a difference. Feel ready to challenge my most difficult obsessions with him.

Gaby is an excellent therapist. She makes sure she understands what you are saying and she has excellent educational tools to use between sessions.

I have been with NOCD for most of this year and I think the app and ERP are tools that were missing in my previous attempts at improving my mental health. The support groups, psychoeducation, community and tools practiced in therapy have made a significant improvement in my quality of life. Gaby Tessielli has helped me accept my ADHD brain, recognize OCD symptoms and discern different strategies based on what is present at this moment. Experimenting with different tools with a couple of other NOCD therapists has given Gaby and I lots of material to incorporate into reducing rumination, perfectionism and addressing situations instead of avoiding them. I still have many medical and mental health diagnoses, conditions and symptoms. Gaby has reinforced many of the skills I have learned in the OCD support groups, providing a seamless experience. She is responsive in the app, very knowledgeable and doesn't make assumptions.

I have been working with Jessica McGraw for close to a year with multiple sessions per week and she is outstanding. Her compassion is unmatched, she is skillful and practical in the way she gives advice, techniques and guidance, and she is a fantastic listener who is able to recall even minor details from past sessions. Most of all, it's very apparent that she truly cares- she always makes herself available through the app and is always there in moments where it feels like a crisis. Can't speak to her aptitude as a therapist highly enough.

I've seen therapists for years and my OCD has only gotten worse. I've been seeing Bri for a month and I'm already "sub-clinical". How is this possible?? One big thing I learned so far is that when they teach empathy in school, they're teaching it for normal brains who need to be told "put yourself in that persons shoes". If you already have a lot of empathy AND have OCD, this is catastrophic advice. I can do things now that I've feared for years. I'm so happy with my progress.

Marcy is amazing. She is so good at what she does and has provided guidance and support without “feeding” my OCD so to speak like past therapists did. Finding her when I did turned my life around. I was struggling postpartum with near constant fears and compulsions, living in my head with my fears most of the day. It was hard work she had me do but here I am over a year later with a life that looks completely different. My quality of life has gone from abysmal to amazing. I really can’t express enough how thankful I am I found Marcy when I did, she has changed my life ❤️

Dear Nicole, Thank you so much for everything you have done for me. You have helped me so much with my OCD. I don’t have nearly as many intrusive thoughts as I used to, and when I do, I use the tools you have taught me. I’m so grateful for my experience with you. You have been a wonderful teacher and have shown me so much patience along the way. Thank you for all you do and for helping me make so much progress. ❤️ S.Q

Bethany has been a huge help to me throughout my journey with ERP. I was highly skeptical after creating my exposure hierarchy with her. I took a step back and stopped therapy for a couple of weeks and joined some of the support groups offered from Bethany's recommendation. That was the best recommendation she could have given. To hear other people share about their journey with ERP and how much it has helped them was enough to allow myself to get back to attempting the exposures themself. I was diagnosed 5 months ago and am in the maintenance phase of therapy. I know their can be relapses and I know that other's may take longer, but the change I have noticed in myself along with the change my partner and family have noticed is incredible. To let go of control, but feel more in control of my own thoughts and actions is something I wasn't even sure existed anymore. I am incredibly grateful to Bethany and glad that she encouraged me to stick with ERP.

Jasmine has truly been a Godsend! She is compassionate, caring, and professional. She’s never failed to make me feel heard, seen, and worth it. It’s been a journey the last three months and this session was cool because I got to celebrate the progress I’ve made! 100/10 recommend Jasmine!

I go into every session dreading what it might bring out of me. But after every session I am happy that I completed another session. All thanks to Beatrice and the amazing work she does. She always brings out the best of me.

The best decision I ever made. My Therapist has really help me transition from threw som really difficult situations with various techniques. I'm Forever Greatful. THANKS JESSICA WILEY

Kamden is so helpful. We practice actionable things every time I meet with her. It’s amazing how much of a reduction in distress I get from my sessions and overall OCD symptoms. She’s really knowledgeable about OCD. Between teaching and helping me understand the loops, every session has a lot of value for me.

Ellie Seoane is very knowledgeable and is great at making sure we focus on what I find important at the moment during the session. Because she is very knowledgeable and understanding, it is easy to share my thought processes with her and do exposure practice. She always makes sure you aren't too uncomfortable. I am so grateful to be working with her.

I have nothing but great things to say about nocd and Toni sands. I went from debilitating OCD and emetophobia to living a fairly normal life. I never thought it was possible and I will be forever grateful

Dr. Phil is genuinely great at what he does. He breaks down your OCD in ways that actually make sense, and his advice feels personal to what you’re experiencing. I think having a therapist who also experiences OCD, even if it’s a different form, makes a huge difference. There’s an unspoken level of understanding and connection that makes the therapy feel more genuine and effective. The vibe is great, and you can tell he actually cares.

Debora is very kind and patient. She does well creating a safe and judgment-free atmosphere where I feel I can share anything I need to.

She is so understanding and patient! I tend to get off track when talking about certain things but, she lets me finish what i’m saying before redirecting me back to talking about other triggers!! She’s really great and just makes it feel safe to talk about things!!

Dr J continues to provide insight and guidance through both practice and shared knowledge leveraging similar success stories from first hand experience. I see him 1/week now, and even though things are steadily improving, he still guides and makes suggestions that I know are uncomfortable, but eventually make progress on my journey. And it is a journey.
