Everybody has a story. Every story is valuable. I think the world is much better when we listen to each other's stories. If you can tell me your story, and there's any way I can add to it, that's an honor for me. My approach is integrative, person-centered, and designed to address the complex nature of OCD. There's no overnight fix. It's going to take time. The best thing to do is take that first step. I also specialize in cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), and solution-focused therapy.

Today was my last session with Justin. Such a bittersweet day! I’m feeling all the feelings for sure. Justin has been an incredible person in my life over the last two years. Through every conversation, challenge, breakthrough and setback he has shown me nothing but compassion, patience, understanding, and unwavering support. He created a space for me to feel safe enough to be vulnerable, honest and truly myself. His kindness has helped me through moments where I’ve felt lost, overwhelmed, or unsure of my own strength. He listened to me without judgment, he encouraged me when I needed hope, and help me see possibilities in myself that I couldn’t always see on my own. The impact of his guidance reaches far beyond our therapy sessions. It’s influenced the way I now think, the way I heal and the way I see the world. What truly makes Justin so special is his genuine care. He has a remarkable ability to make people feel seen, heard and valued. That gift is rare , and I’m incredibly grateful to have experienced it. Justin, thank you for believing in me, especially during the times I struggled to believe in myself. Thank you for celebrating my progress, helping me navigate my pain, and reminding that growth is possible (even when it’s slow). You have made a lasting difference in my life. While my words can never fully capture my appreciation, I hope you know how much respect, gratitude, and admiration I have for you. I will forever be grateful for the role you’ve played in my journey !

Justin helped me tremendously with not just my OCD, but in helping me to care about myself. It was always clear that he genuinely cared about real improvement—not comfort or avoidance, but actual change. I may have called him a jerk a few times along the way, but I’m deeply grateful that he pushed me so hard and refused to let me sell myself short or stay stuck. He knew I could do better even when I didn’t. He pushed me to take better care of myself and to work on all areas of my life, not just my symptoms. He wanted me to grow as a whole person, and he consistently challenged me to move toward goals I didn’t yet believe I was capable of. Because of his encouragement and support, I started going to school and began building a future instead of just managing my OCD. I can honestly say he cared deeply about my life, not just my diagnosis, and that kind of investment changes people. I will always be grateful for the role he played in helping me become someone I didn’t think I could be. His belief in me mattered more than he probably knows.

Dr. Trout is a truly fantastic therapist. His empathy and care is evident in each session and he made tough topics manageable to talk through and break down. I feel much more suitably equipped to handle my OCD flare-ups after our conversations, and I highly recommend him.

Justin is THE BEST THERAPIST. When I joined NOCD, I initially thought it’ll take me a few tries to find the right therapist but thankfully that wasn’t the case. Can’t express how much Justin has helped me with my OCD. I look forward to every session. He’s insightful, understanding, relatable & HILARIOUS. Couldn’t have asked for a better therapist.

NOCD worked with me personally and professionally until I found a therapist that fit my unique needs. It's not easy to find good therapy, especially online. I have been "through" at least 10 therapists since I started therapy in 2021. And though I believe it has a lot more to do with the work I'm willing to put in myself, having the right person was important for me. Justin Trout is someone that I was able to trust completely. Though he has a lighthearted and hilarious attitude (which I really love), he was very serious about my treatment. For those who are committed to getting better and need a space where they know they won't be judged, Justin Trout can help.

Unfortunately, my experience with NOCD has been very disatisfactory. I have been waiting for weeks for a therapist. A few weeks into signing up I was connected with a therapist that I knew was not a fit so I respectfully, politely requested a transfer. I've been waiting weeks for another therapist. Each week or two I'll get a message that says they are working on it but no help ever comes. I was paying out of pocket for my therapy as my insurance does not cover it. They offered me an initial discount that would last 2 months I believe and now I'm well over that time bc I have been waiting to be matched with a therapist, which NOCD has failed to do. Could really use the help but sadly I have very little faith in NOCD based on my experiences. Best of luck to everyone else.

Justin provided invaluable help over the last year. I am very grateful. The exposures we performed and the tools we practiced (sitting with anxiety and accepting uncertainty) have greatly changed my relationship with my OCD. I have been choosing to accept risk and uncertainty, and I have found that my anxiety has been less intense and has subsided much faster. I will continue to practice what I learned and I am hopeful. Thank you

I cannot thank Justin enough for his help in gaining a better understanding of my OCD. He helped me understand that I wasn’t alone, and really helped me see my patterns. Our sessions were always great, Justin genuinely cares about people and I felt like he really joined me on this part of my journey. I’m not cured, but it’s like the OCD dial got turned down in general & I don’t get as bothered (or sometimes bothered at all!) for many things that used to trigger me greatly. I’m very lucky that I was able to add NOCD to my ongoing therapy and medication and get some REAL benefits. I feel like Justin really helped me start the next chapter of my life - and I’m excited about the possibilities!

Justin and the NOCD program changed my life. I was on medication for the better part of a decade that certainly helped but did not fully treat OCD. After 3 months of sessions, I am a different person. My OCD has become a very manageable part of my life and I am much happier and healthier. I also now have the skills to tackle OCD as it rises up. And guess what? I was able to completely discontinue my medication. That was unthinkable 6 months ago. I still have work to do but Justin, a caring and dedicated therapist, has given me the tools to do it. He is insightful, humble, and adaptive. A true testament to the power of exposure therapy in the hands of a caring and educated practitioner.
