What Members are saying about NOCD

I have been in therapy for years and no other therapist has been nearly as impactful and transformative in my life as Sarah has. She has taught me so much and I value her insight and feedback—it has truly changed my life and helped me heal on my road to recovery.

Lisa is always so helpful. No matter what I’m facing she is there to support me. She is an incredible therapist and I’m so grateful to have her help me through this journey.

I joined NOCD at one of the hardest times of my life, I was struggling and barely knew anything about OCD. A few weeks ago (after almost a year of therapy) I went to a yoga class and almost cried because I never thought I could find mental peace and quiet to enjoy myself in a space like this. I cannot thank Cher Alter enough she is genuinely AMAZING! So thankful for her!

Jenni Hardney is seriously a Godsend. I thought I’d NEVER find a theory I would click with, like this. She just immediately GOT me. It’s like everything she says resonates perfectly with me.

michelle is an unbelievably good therapist. i've been with nocd since april. my first therapist was alright, but i switched to michelle at the beginning of august, and the progress i’ve made over these 4 months with her is wild. michelle is... direct to say the least haha. she challenges me but also supports me during the process. she's taught me i can do hard things. i was terified of my thoughts before i started with michelle, but now i'm able to observe my intrusive thoughts and watch them float by instead of compulsing. i can't say enough about how great of a therapist she is, and i'm really glad i get to work with her!

I’ve been working with my Yvonne for about a month now, and I can genuinely say she has been very helpful and supportive. Even though her main focus is ERP, she always takes the time to truly listen to me and give me space for the “talk therapy” I need. I never feel rushed or dismissed — she helps me unpack my feelings, work through my exposures, and understand what’s really going on underneath my anxiety and OCD. I honestly feel like she’s in my corner. She encourages me, supports me, and gives me practical tools I can actually use in real life when things come up. She’s also helped me recognize things about myself that I didn’t even realize before, and understand the root causes of so much of what I struggle with. I’m really grateful to have a therapist who not only knows what she’s doing but genuinely cares. I would highly recommend her to anyone dealing with OCD or anxiety.

She was very kind and understanding

Anna is amazing! She has helped me so much. I struggle with pretty much all ocd themes is what it feels like. It bounces around very quickly. Today we handled a very strong wave of anxiety and were able to get it to go down. I’m optimistic I can beat this OCD even though it felt so intense. I’m glad I started therapy!

Wonderful. Therapy with Brooke has been literally life changing.

It went great! Sonja is an amazing support who really knows how to handle what I’m going through. She not only makes me feel like my OCD is important and worthy of treatment, but she is great to connect and converse with. I have never once thought or felt like I wasn’t being heard or cared for while in session. Sonja also is great at responding to messages I send her, and she constantly encourages me on how good of a job I’m doing, which definitely helps with the healing process. Overall, Sonja is a great therapist, and I couldn’t ask for anybody better!

I love working with Abby. She created a welcoming, safe space with me from the beginning. Her knowledge and expertise in treating ocd is vast and she laughs with me, which feels healing on its own!

Priscilla is very supportive during therapy sessions.

I really enjoy meeting with my Therapist KJ Foster. She has been such an incredible help in my OCD recovery journey. She is very compassionate and easy to talk to. She uses ERP in such a clear way and meets you at your comfort level which I believe is why it worked so well for me ❤️

It went well. Sometimes I don't know how much I should share based on her questions, and we don't end up with enough time to complete the exercise at the end. Then I feel like I've shared too many traumas for the amount of time we have. It's only been 3 or 4 sessions so I will vocalize that I need more structure, next time. She has been wonderful and has a great demeanor. I feel more comfortable with her than I expected, which in turn makes me more uncomfortable because I feel vulnerable, but I guess that's the whole point.

Kim is a kind, compassionate listener who takes the time to get to know you as a client and forms a genuine bond. She cares about your growth and healing.

Stephen is the best therapist I’ve ever had. He created a safe space where I felt comfortable sharing everything, and he always knew how to respond. He is very knowledgeable, patient, and consistently reassuring. We connected on many levels and with him I feel supported not only by a therapist but also a friend.

Really made so progress even just a little is good

I signed up for counseling with NOCD back in January 2025. I had no idea at the time that doing so would literally change my life. My therapist Melissa has been incredibly supportive and non-judgemental. We worked together doing ERP during our sessions and then I also did homework on days we didn't meet. All of this contained a lot of challenges but we worked together to make them doable. By taking these small steps on a regular basis I was able to take on bigger challenges as my skills and ability to tolerate discomfort increased. Today my OCD symptoms are significantly reduced. I also have the tools to know how to respond (or not! ha!) so as not to engage the cycle. What's perhaps most unexpected is how this has impacted other areas of my life, as my approach to both relationships and career has shifted to a much healthier, balanced perspective. Working with Melissa specifically was such a blessing as she was very understanding and supportive whilst also keeping us on track. She had to be extra creative at times and she was persistently solutions-oriented even when some of my difficulties presented unique challenges to the process. I cannot recommend NOCD counseling highly enough. Is it easy? Absolutely not. It was perhaps one of the hardest things I'd ever done. But it is 100% worth it - your future self will thank you!

Great session today! My therapist listened and gave me good advice!

Therapist never showed up, waited 10 minutes but no show
