Emma Beneke

Emma continues to be great for our son. We have been with her for 4 years and she has drastically helped our son giving him the tools to be successful!

Seeing Emma for therapy is such a wonderful experience and I highly recommend her. She is a highly skilled ERP therapist. Specifically, she is skilled at not offering reassurance in not only her words but her tone of voice and body language. She is also extremely compassionate, smart, empathetic, and intuitive. She is not afraid to utilize other therapy methods when helpful such as ACT, DBT, and CBT.

In addition to ERP, Emma is also trained in BFRBs and tic disorders. We have been working together on habit reversal training for less than 2 weeks and I’m already noticing a significant improvement in how often I engage in BFRBs and experience tics. I feel like I have much more control over BFRBs, more than I ever have in my life. It’s hard to put into words how good it feels to begin watching my hair grow back after years of compulsively removing it. Cannot recommend Emma enough.

Emma is a highly skilled therapist and an incredibly compassionate person. She is incredible at listening and reflecting back. She also provides incredible insights. She has made multiple statements over the months I’ve worked with her that I found extremely profound and have had a significant impact in my life (‘mic drop moments’, as I refer to them). She also always makes sure to end each session with a check-in to make sure I’m feeling good about my progress and our direction as well as a list of recommendations to work on between sessions. Additionally, she checks in at least once but usually multiple times during a session to make sure it’s clear her questions or recommendations are invitations not demands, making sure I know I ultimate have the choice (“all ERP is optional”). Finally, though I don’t personally have the expectation that my therapist will check in with or respond to me via messaging between sessions, she does and is consistently responsive if I do have a question, which is going above and beyond in my opinion. I feel so grateful and fortunate to be working with Emma and NOCD.

In my opinion, Emma is one of the greats. My experience with her is that she’s an extremely skilled and intelligent therapist and compassionate person. I could list multiple tangible examples of the progress I’ve made in having more control over my obsessions and compulsions since I first started ERP around 7 months ago. For example, I’ve had more moments of joy in the past few months than I had the entire previous year by far. Like any good therapist, she gives me the credit for my progress but I’m not sure I’d have made this much progress without her (maybe maybe not). In addition to be an amazing listener and reflecting back, she makes incredible insights that have felt life changing. I am so grateful for Emma and for NOCD.

I have been seeing Emma for ERP since May and I am so grateful she is my therapist. She is brilliant, compassionate, insightful, and a great listener. Learning ERP from her has been truly life changing. I highly recommend her as a therapist.

I’ve been working with Emma for 5 months now and I find her to have incredible skills, knowledge, insight, ability, and compassion as a therapist. Though my progress hasn’t been linear (and, as I’ve learned from Emma, it often isn’t), I’ve progressed. I went from laying in bed most weekends hiding from the world to laying in bed some weekends hiding from the world and some weekends being out in the world engaging in activities I want to be doing. So I’m very thankful for her and for NOCD

Love her and her ability to help me in all parts of my life not just my OCD!

I am so happy to have Emma! She is very considerate and well-versed on dealing with anxiety and OCD.

Emma was wonderful as always. I leave our session feeling challenged and supported.

Emma is an expert. She is knowledgeable and helpful and understanding and personable.

I have had a great experience with NOCD. Emma B. is incredibly skilled, knowledgeable, and compassionate. The app is very easy to use and I’m very impressed with it.

Emma was a wonderful help, and I am excited to start a treatment plan.

Emma is wonderful. Her style of therapy comes from equal parts compassion, kindness, wisdom, and intelligence (in no particular order:). I am progressing much farther along than I expected to and I credit skill and ability to listen and reflect back. I feel so fortunate and grateful to be working with her.

Emma is an amazing therapist!! I truly have grown from her sessions. She is always willing to listen and very patient. She helped me get my life back! I’ll forever be grateful.

Emma is very skilled — she’s an excellent listener, empathetic, encouraging and kind. She was able to construct a really good “big picture” of me, my OCD concerns and trauma issues that will be important to address. I was impressed by her ability to plan next steps for me, prepare documents, figure out and modify the best approach for my needs as I provided her with more and more of my story—all while listening very carefully. I felt very comfortable and know that I’m in good hands! Thank you.

Emma is compassionate, knowledgable, and supportive.

Excellent session!

Emma is quite knowledgeable about working with people with OCD and is also great at including parents in treatment plans.

I am really looking forward to my future sessions with Emma!

I was feeling very anxious about a situation. Emma helped me understand how I had a particular way of viewing it. She explained a way for me to perceive it differently which gave me a lightbulb moment. I have been feeling better and empowered ever since!

Concrete advice!

Emma is an expert therapist. She is compassionate. She clearly explains treatment plans. Her verbal communication is clear, and her tone of voice is calming. Her facial expressions convey openness and non judgement.

Emma is very skilled at summarizing what I explain. She makes me feel comfortable during therapy.

Emma is a perfect combination of expertise and compassion and encouragement.

Optimistic she’s willing to help for sure. Optimistic I’ll be able to do this? It’s going to be hard

Emma is amazing! I look forward to our sessions as she is helping me tremendously through this journey.
