More about Anna

My approach to treating OCD is rooted in a balance of compassion and accountability. I believe effective therapy requires both gentle understanding and a willingness to challenge ourselves. I strive to create a safe, supportive environment where members feel comfortable sharing their experiences and fears, knowing they won’t be judged. Each person’s journey is unique, and we’ll move forward together at a pace that feels right for you. In addition to treating OCD, my areas of focus include social anxiety, phobias, excoriation, and trichotillomania.

I am beyond thankful to have had Anna as a therapist. She held me accountable, encouraged me, and truly helped me get my life back. Her mix of seriousness and humor gave me the experience that I needed. She made it very clear from the beginning that she would never judge me, and she was always so supportive. Anna is the reason I’ve been able to overcome all of my challenges with OCD. She is a lovely person, and I would 100% recommend her to anyone.

Anna was the first professional I saw after being diagnosed with OCD. She has helped me regain control of my life through exposure therapy. She is compassionate and never judgmental. Anna pushed me to face my OCD head on, which eventually has allowed me to resume my normal life.

Anna Newton is the best therapist I have ever had. She has gave me so many tools to help me with my OCD and she has the sweetest personality, she is so funny. I have been seeing her for so long now and she has not only been my therapist but she has become my friend. She is such a sweet person and she is very helpful, she is patient and kind. If you’re looking for a good therapist, CHOOSE ANNA!! When my parents thought therapy wasn’t working, Anna insisted on me staying in therapy and she helped me so much. She didn’t give up on me. I love her!!

My experience with Anna has been really amazing!! I really felt like she understood my ocd and the extent of how it impacts my life, something that I’ve struggled to find in other professionals. She is very motivating, empathetic, and overall just a wonderful therapist :)

Anna is wonderful. I have been so afraid for so long, and Anna is not scared. She is helping me to see the ways that my brain is twisting things. It’s getting easier to handle triggers and to see the irrationality for what it is in the moment. I’m excited to see what things feel like once I graduate from therapy!

Anna is such an amazing therapist. She was able to help me recognize my OCD and begin to work through it. I learned how OCD was showing up in my day to day life and she pushed me to work through it. She not only helped me with my OCD, but rose above and beyond in advocating for me with my psychiatric providers. She was able to help me find more intensive care when I needed it and provide me with resources to educate myself on my various conditions. She is extremely knowledgeable about OCD and various mental disorders. I have worked through so many fears and challenges with her help. I highly recommend Anna and NOCD!

Anna is amazing! She has a wonderful way of encouraging me to challenge myself in ERP sessions, yet is comforting as she knows how difficult the work is. She is very intuitive and I truly feel she cares about and my recovery.

Good experience

I found NOOCD when I first found out what I was dealing with was anxiety. While the therapy was good at first, I began realizing that the therapist was not getting to the root of my anxiety. We were just doing exposure therapy and thats it. There was no talk therapy about what may actually be underneath the fears. Just exposures. As I have learned with experience and doing different therapy, exposure therapy is def not the “gold standard” for treating OCD. Getting to the root of what is behind the intrusive thought or fear, and learning to feel your feelings is what actually solves OCD. I would suggest the work of Sheryl Paul if you really want to recover from OCD. Neurofeedback has been a life changer for me as well with managing the OCD. I think beyond exposures, NOOCD needs to teach their therapists to get to the root of what is underneath the fears and work with that.
