Ruthie is compassionate yet truthful in therapy. She sits with me in the discomfort and helps me process all the thoughts and feelings as we move through the distress. She is very knowledgeable and helpful in her approach to helping me recover from some of the most horrendous thoughts of my life!!

There are not enough words to thank my incredible therapist, Ruthie, for helping to transform my life. With Ruthie's guidance and support, I was able to get my life back, something I didn't even think was possible before starting our sessions. Over the past five years, I have suffered from intense intrusive thoughts that have left me anxious, depressed, and isolated. While sessions were challenging at times, Ruthie was kind and encouraging. The possibilities for my future and who I can become are endless now that I have conquered OCD!

Ruthie is the most kind and compassionate therapist I’ve ever had. Through ERP, she has helped me overcome so many obstacles that I once thought were impossible. I will always highly recommend Ruthie and NOCD to anyone struggling with OCD!

Ruthie is fabulous! 2 sessions in and I feel soo called out but in the most respectful way. She has already helped me recognize so many things I never correlated to be connected and I am so eager to keep pushing through the uncomfortable with her!

Ruthie has been fundamental to my recovery from OCD. She is supportive, constructive and has taught me many strategies to combat intrusive thoughts and behavioural compulsions. Ruthie has challenged me when I needed it the most and has enabled me to push back against OCD and continue to live my life. I am SO grateful to have Ruthie as my therapist and so thankful for her help in my recovery!!

Ruthie is a fantastic therapist. She has so many great ideas for you to practice ERP that make it easy. They are specifically tiered to meet your needs and comfort level so you are able to make so much progress. She shows you how to use all of the tools so you can also function well without her. She is warm and caring and kind and messages patients in between sessions. I love the quotes and reminders she sends and of course, they always seemed to be right at the exact time you need them. I feel very fortunate to have such a wonderful therapist.

Ruthie was wonderful! I was very comfortable talking to her and felt it was a safe, non-judgmental space which makes me excited to go through a process that previously was very daunting. The session felt relaxed and less clinical than I had imagined, which made discussing the difficult topics very easy.

I have nothing but great things to say about therapy and my therapist . a few months back I came into therapy feeling completely hopeless and in constant worry . After working with Ruthie, I have been able enjoy life more and apply my ERP to my compulsions . I am still a work in progress and work on improving everyday but I am able to no longer give my OCD power over my life and can accept that it is there .

I was incredibly lucky, when I reached out for help NOCD happened to have discounted prices for therapy and because of that deal, I was able to start this process. My therapist, Ruthie Brooks, is amazing. This is a tough path but well worth it. Not sure if I would still be here without this program. Changed my life.
