In OCD therapy, changes can happen quickly. Within months, people can have a whole new outlook on life. That is beautiful. In sessions, I'm collaborative, and I like to use a lot of humor. Whatever you bring, I'll start where you are, and we'll go from there. Therapy will stress you out and make you do things you don't want to do, but we can also have some fun. I also have experience treating complex PTSD, depression, anxiety, gender dysphoria, and trauma.

Shawna helped my quality of life improve so much in the last 2 years. I never thought therapy could help me turn my life around so dramatically. I used to feel so out of control with my OCD. It was draining and I was unknowingly feeding into my OCD. ERP has made my OCD completely manageable and I canโ€™t thank Shawna and NOCD enough.

Shawna is an excellent therapist! She helped me conquer pretty severe contamination OCD, which I never thought was possible. Shawna has a way about her that is not pushy, but motivating and that really helped with ERP. She continues to be an excellent therapist as I transition to a more maintenance schedule. I would recommend her to anyone that wants to prove OCD is a liar!

I am so grateful ๐Ÿ™ for my therapist, Shawna Ecklind. She is patient, kind, and motivating with helping me do exposures of intrusive thoughts. She has guided me tremendously in doing intrusive thoughts exposures without allowing me to engage in ressurance seeking nor useless ruminating about what these thoughts and memories may mean. She is guiding me through this very difficult process which no other therapist has ever done so effectively.
