About

You may be coming into sessions feeling anxious from your OCD. You may fear that your intrusive thoughts may reflect the type of person that you are. Nothing could be farther from the truth. You are not your OCD. During sessions, I'll make you feel calm and in-the-moment with you, so you can feel safe sharing your OCD experience while using each session to gain progress. Members describe me as approachable, compassionate, and supportive. But your treatment is not about me. I’m here to work with you towards your goals, so in a way, our time is a collaboration. Together, we can find the happiness in life that you desire as you learn to manage OCD on your own.

You are not your OCD. Your OCD is just one area we're going to focus on as part of your mental health as a whole. I’ll help you to incorporate self-compassion and to let go of any shame, judgment, and guilt.

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.
