About

One of my fondest memories in the OCD/ERP world was working with an older gentleman who was afraid of allergens and animals. At the end of treatment, he got two bunnies. It was the best experience – the journey from "I'm always going to listen to the OCD," to "You know what? There are things that are way more important than what OCD is telling me right now."

I want to empower you to take charge, to get into your own driver's seat of life and kick OCD to the back seat.

I feel Michelle is very organized and I like how she updates my ERP homework every week and sends me a detailed email of what I should do that week.

I’ve been working with Michelle for over a year, and I can’t imagine working with any other therapist for ERP. She is patient, listens to my struggles, offers ERP appropriate solutions, and challenges me to improve. She also cheers me on and believes in me when I don’t believe in myself. She offers different points of view that would not occur to me, and I trust her on this journey. I highly recommend her.

I am so glad that I attended my session today. The compassion and support that all the staff at NOCD has given me so much hope. If you are on the fence about starting treatment, this is your sign to start ?? I actually look forward to next week’s session rather than dreading it like past OCD therapy sessions

The therapists here know how to treat ocd. If you have ocd or know anyone that does and needs treatment, I recommend using NOCD. Most Insurances cover it also. I didn't think I could do it until I read that!!!!! Michelle Soares is very caring and has helped me with more than just ocd.

I was misdiagnosed for months and now that I know it’s OCD it’s scary but I’m glad to be getting the help I need. Barley a few sessions in but so far Michelle has been great.
