Melanie Dideriksen

I’m glad I had courage to sign up at NOCD. And, am lucky to have been matched with Melanie. She’s so understanding and compassionate. Very patient, and a great listener. She really cares about what I’m going through, and genuinely wants to help me improve. I’ve only had three sessions, so it’s too early to tell how this will work out. But, so far, I feel very comfortable being open and honest with Melanie.

Amazing therapist and has taught me so quickly how to manage a lot of my main obsession currently. Thank you so much Melanie. I’m so ready to continue therapy and learn how to manage this beast. Thank you for everything ❤️

Melanie is so great! I really feel heard and understood and she is very good at helping me push myself while knowing where my boundaries are.

NOCD has saved my life. Before therapy, my mind was in constant distress. I couldn't stop thinking about negative things in my life. I wanted to know what they meant. But as I went through NOCD, the therapists taught me that there is nothing to figure out; it's just the OCD cycle or "loop" I was trapped in. ERP taught me not to be scared of thoughts or past actions. It is the present that counts. A special "thank you" to Melanie who was always there for support if I needed to message her. My advice if you think you have OCD: Get involved with NOCD and save your life!

Melanie is truly the best! Before I started working with her a month ago, I was feeling hopeless and barely getting through each day. I had never done therapy before, couldn’t imagine sharing my thoughts with anyone, and honestly didn’t think I could ever get better. But from that very first session, Melanie made me feel comfortable, cared for, and deeply understood—all without judgment. Melanie has an incredible way of showing care while also helping you build confidence in your ability to face even the hardest exposures. The work is challenging, but over time, she’s helped me see that doing the hard things is actually one of the kindest gifts you can give yourself. She seems to know exactly what I need every day, and already, I’m doing things I never imagined I’d be able to do again. I tell my husband almost daily how much I wish everyone struggling with OCD could have someone like Melanie as their therapists. In such a short time, she’s become one of the greatest blessings in my life.

There was a lot of anxiety about starting exposure therapy. Melanie has been amazing every step of the way. We havent even started exposure yet because she is so thorough. Melanie is patient, understanding, kind and reassuring. She has been on the other end of this therapy and has been successful with the treatment. I can't say enough positive words about her!!

I recently started therapy with Melanie, and she's already proven to be an incredible therapist. From our very first session, Melanie has been warm, understanding, and incredibly accommodating. She creates a space where I feel safe and comfortable opening up about anything on my mind. Melanie listens attentively and offers thoughtful guidance that's already making a positive impact on my life. I'm grateful to have Melanie as my therapist and look forward to continuing our journey together!

I 10/10 recommend NOCD to anyone struggling with ocd. I was diagnosed nearly 30 years ago and have been in and out of therapy during that time. Nothing has helped me like NOCD. My therapist is amazing 👏

She was easy to talk to and non-judgemental.

Melanie has quickly helped me understand what I’m dealing with and our plan forward. Very very helpful

I’ve recently seen quite a few therapists, none nearly as good as Melanie. I’m glad I’ve got her on my side

Sessions with Melanie have been great thus far, still a long journey of recovery and ERP ahead to get into but I value the first couple of sessions we’ve had and hopeful about the next steps.

Melanie really knows how to get me centered again. She doesn’t reassure me (of course) but I always somehow feel more.. centered and ready to take on my challenges after I speak with her.

I absolutely love Melanie. I actually feel genuinely comfortable telling her my fears and my truth. She’s kind, professional and I feel like I’ve known her forever. She certainly has a way of making me feel comfortable, seen and not judged.

My therapist is amazing!

Melanie is fantastic! She always knows what I’m feeling and has great ideas for exposures.

Melanie is awesome!!

Melanie is very empathetic and caring. I’m so happy that God brought her into my life to help beat this.

It’s safe to say that Melanie is the best OCD therapist I have ever worked with. She understands the OCD experience and it well-trained in ERP and ACT tools. Truly, I have made more progress with her in one month than I have with previous therapists. She is thoughtful of her clients and is easy to relate to. She’s seen it all, so there is no judgement with obsessions (a fear I had when finding a therapist). Melanie balances empathy with pushing you to confront your fears perfectly. I feel so lucky to work with her.

Shows a lot of concern. Understanding. Good listener. I feel comfortable talking with therapist

I am really happy that I found NOCD

Melanie takes the time to truly understand the issues going on with her patients. Her ability to identify with her patients in an uplifting way is very helpful.

Melanie is amazing! Already seeing progress I didn’t even know I was making! I can see the light!!!

Melanie is amazing! I’m scared but also excited to start my ERP therapy. I know she can help me thru this.

Thank you

I have felt really positive after every session.
