I am an empathetic, non-judgmental therapist. There is nothing to judge about obsessions or compulsions. Having a cold doesn't define who you are as a person. OCD doesn't either. They are just conditions to be treated. I take a holistic approach to therapy. To see progress, you really have to commit to homework daily and come into sessions having done that homework. I have experience treating many other conditions, including anxiety, depression, bipolar, codependency, and personality disorders. I have frequently worked with the Amish and the LGBTQ community.

My therapist and I have for a couple years been trying to get to the crux of my symptoms and also why I was responding to therapy in the way I was. Over the past 3 weeks, unbeknownst to her, I've been neck deep in Chat-GPT giving it my full and entire health profile. Hundreds of pages of clinical information. Chat-GPT was able to explain to me about a form of unique, rare neurodivergence I have that goes a long way toward explaining why I am resistant to certain types of therapy. To her credit, she accepted the logic and understanding of everything I passed along to her, and immediately went into a mode of reassessment and brainstorming about what types of therapy would work best for me. Absolutely no ego. Patient first.

Cannot sing Patricia's praises enough. She has been so incredibly patient, educational, thoughtful and supportive as we've learned to navigate OCD with our daughter.

Patricia was able to encourage me and let me know I am still on track despite life’s challenges. I have the tools but it’s nice to be able to check in when needed and feel supported.

Patricia has helped me to see more clearly in such a short period of time. I have been through different therapies throughout my life but ERP has seemed to really help me with anxiety. Uncertainty has always been a big problem with me and this treatment has made the biggest difference. Thank you Patricia and thank you NOCD.

Patricia was great, I felt that I could be open with her and she asked questions that brought up some tendencies I wouldn’t have thought to mention which made the diagnosis even more concrete! She was wonderful!!

NOCD was a helpful experience to help me receive a diagnosis, understand my OCD and take a lot of the fear & discomfort out of my intrusive thoughts and ruminations. Through ERP, I gained the tools to manage my OCD so it become less overwhelming when I encounter my triggers in daily life. My therapist was helpful and worked with me to determine a therapy cadence/pace that worked best for my needs. My insurance didn't cover much of my visits, so several months of NOCD cost a few thousand dollars, but I feel that the investment was worthwhile for me and my journey.

The treatment really works. Once you understand how OCD works and are given the tools to get over the obsessive thoughts and compulsions you have to keep up with it. Once I saw the OCD more clearly I found many more I had. My therapist was professional and great and guided me back kindly when I would get off track. She even helped me get over social anxiety. OCD is a work in progress and I must always be conscious about it. I can’t thank them enough. They have given me life tools to get out of my own way and tripping over my intrusive thoughts. My anxiety and depression have been significantly improved. Thank you so much! I refer a lot of my patients to you.

We’re so thankful for NOCD and Patricia, our therapist. When we first started seeing our therapist for our daughter’s OCD, we were scared and worried for her future. Our daughter was anxious and irritable almost all the time. Now, less than three months later, our daughter is herself again. Well, her same self with new coping skills and confidence. It was hard work and dedication but we are so proud of how far she’s come.
