Paria Maghsoudi

I have been working with Paria for almost 8 months now and I have never felt more in control of my OCD. I came to therapy at NOCD during a difficult time and have been able to work through my compulsions in a way that worked for me. Paria tried many options and we landed on reflective writing and talking about them and it has helped me tremendously.

I’ve really enjoyed working with Paria. Before starting ERP, I never realized how much it could actually help me. Since working with her, I’ve learned so much about my OCD, myself, and (most importantly) how to help myself when OCD gets difficult. I’ve recommended this app to three of my friends because of how much my experience with Paria has changed my perspective on ERP. I’ve learned that ERP isn’t something I need to be afraid of. Therapy with NOCD truly is a judgement-free experience. Additionally, Paria has made me feel supported while also encouraging me to challenge my OCD instead of letting it control me. I’m really grateful for everything I’ve learned through this experience, and I’m excited to keep building on the progress I’ve made. ☺️

Paria has been a great therapist so far. She is very caring and open. I appreciate the time she takes to understand the root causes, not only brush the surface. I feel supported and encouraged in her care and feel that I am making progress.

I’ve had a really positive experience. She is very calm, smooth in her approach, and clearly knows exactly what she is doing. From the beginning, she guided me step by step through the process without overwhelming me. What I appreciate most is how confident and structured she is. Her techniques are practical and effective, especially for managing intrusive thoughts and rumination.

I would 100% recommend Paria and working with her has honestly made a big difference in my life for the better.

My OCD consists of being a germaphobe. I was scared of germs, scared of using public restrooms, constantly washed my hands, avoided touching door knobs and I avoided shaking people’s hands. After having exposure therapy with Paria, she has helped me overcome my fears and now I live a more normal life! It’s nice to be no longer afraid of daily interactions that everyone else has. I feel better and happier that I got the help I needed. Thank you Paria! My friends will be hearing about you! And I’ll shake their hands.

I have no regrets in starting therapy. This may not have fixed my “problems” but it’s helped me learn how to better handle my “problems” and my emotions regardless of any kind of diagnosis or future life circumstances. If you even have any slight thought you might have OCD I recommend trying NOCD because it’s more tailored and better suited to those who do than traditional therapy.

My experience with Paria so far has been very positive and I’ve seen significant improvement in my symptoms

I have been working with her for 3 years and counting! I have received the best care, she really dives into the practice and allows you to feel safe. I am proud to say that working with her as helped me get through my toughest times!

My work with Paria over the last few months has helped me get over certain anxieties that were taking over my life. While I still have a long way to go, my anxiety, confidence, and sleep has significantly improved since starting NOCD. Thank you Paria!

I cannot stress how apprehensive I was to jump back into therapy. My walls were up and high. But slowly, brick-by-brick, she chipped away until I was willing to open up. And I'm so glad that I did. I feel like for the first time a professional is giving my words and feelings 'hugs'. And strangely, that's exactly what she has given them, without me having to ask. Highly recommend.

I wasn’t expecting NOCD to be so in-depth. It’s not just a “don’t do this” type of deal. I have learned the root and motive behind my triggers and why my brain is thinking the way it does, which has allowed me to face my triggers more confidently just by having awareness. My therapist is very thought-through in the way she handles things and has helped me tackle OCD in a way I didn’t know could be done. NOCD has given me back the part of my life that OCD tried to steal.

Paria Maghsoudi helped empower me to become the version of myself I knew I could be - just did not know how to get there myself. She is kind, knowledgable and intuitive in her approach - which worked very well for me over just a few months. She is very detailed and through. I always leave every session feeling better than before. Paria has been a miracle in my life and she has my highest recommendation.

Paria was the first person I opened up to about my symptoms. I was scared and doubted the efficacy of therapy for my recovery. Paria was to the point and quickly helped me get the tools to get back on track. I’m super grateful for that.

I am having a wonderful experience and I cannot recommend highly enough!

I really appreciate my therapist Paria and all NOCD has done for me. At first NOCD seemed too good to be true, but I’ve made more progress with my OCD and mental health in just 4 weeks here than I have with any other therapist in years. Thank you!

I can see where things are challenging and changing for me. For the first time in a long time, I see where I can make changes. This is vastly different from my therapies before, that focus on validation. Knowing where I can learn and what I should take time trying to do, is exactly what I need to facilitate the changes I want. My therapist knows what she's talking about, isn't dismissive and redirects me in ways that I hope to be able to learn to do better for myself. Last session, I left feeling hopeful. This feels like a big deal because my symptoms often leave me feeling confused and hopeless.

I just started with NOCD a couple of months ago, and although ERP can be hard and uncomfortable, Paria makes it so much better! She is encouraging, she makes you feel comfortable, and she wants to see you get better. I really enjoy meeting with her every week as I try to recover from OCD. Thanks Paria for all that you do! 🤗

Paria has been amazing in each therapy session. She encourages me to do exposures and has helped me identify my triggers. Since starting therapy sessions with her I have felt empowered and in control!

My therapist Paria has completely changed my life! She has taught me to see my OCD in a different light and I’ve been able to learn new tools and techniques to stop this from taking over my life. Starting with NOCD has been the best decision I’ve made in a long time and I am excited to keep on going with treatment and eventually become an OCD conqueror!

I have made such progress and have developed such a skill set that has really helped me get through each day!

Paria is awesome! She is so helpful, understanding, and honest. She challenges me to push myself and conquer my compulsions every session.

I had an amazing session. I feel very hopeful for my future for the first time in weeks!

Paria is a great therapist. I see her at the end of the day on Friday. Even though she must be exhausted from her week, she always shows up 110% for me. She helps me with my OCD but never forgets that it’s just one piece of my past and present.

She is probably one of the most straight forward understanding people I know

I’m a lifelong OCD haver, but was prescribed treatment for my OCD for the first time at 29 years old, and part of that was ERP therapy. I wasn’t able to find ERP therapists in my area, but I found NOCD. The app itself has taught me so many things about OCD and I am extremely grateful for that alone. The therapist I’ve been working with, Paria, has made me feel comfortable throughout the ERP experience. She’s taught me so much about why things are the way they are, and tools to overcome the distress that comes along with it. Thanks to her, I practice disrupting my compulsions every day, and the effect of relief was so much faster than I was expecting (and I was terrified to start). I think these are tools that can help everyone in life, not just those who have OCD. Thank you, NOCD team, for helping me regain control of my life and happiness.

My Therapist is very professional and helpful. She is saving my life.

From session to session Paria remembers what is going on in my life and the past and present factors that play into my OCD symptoms. She looks at the bigger picture and sees me as a whole person, not just my OCD. We work on ERP, but she also helps me to process difficult past experiences and to address problematic core beliefs. She is great!

Helping out tremendously

Paria is awesome!! She is changing and saving my life. I'm glad I made the decision to seek help.

She is professional and patient.

Another really helpful session with Paria.

My therapist changed my life for the better. Joining NOCD is the best decision I have ever made.
