About

ERP is a really cool therapy. Once you get it, it works, and you can run with it. I am a direct therapist who will push you, with your consent. I'll be the coach encouraging you to go beyond what you think is possible. I want to empower you to take charge, get into the driver's seat of life, and kick OCD to the back seat. My professional experience includes helping people with major depressive disorder, anxiety disorders, bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, and substance abuse.

    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.

    Michelle Soares was awesome! She knew exactly what she was doing, and she was incredibly knowledgeable. She was very kind and very friendly. She was just a joy to have an appointment with, and I am greatly looking forward to working with her on a regular basis.
