Lulu

Lulu is an amazing therapist. She does an amazing job of balancing where I am currently and continuing/staying focused on treatment plan. My homework is doable while also helping me to build new skills... And she honors the moments when I need a break.

I have made incredible progress since working with Lulu and I cannot write her enough of a glowing review. In a few sessions, I felt like we reached our initial goals. Since then, she has continuously pushed me to reach new goals and has given me valuable skills and lessons that I utilize in my life daily. My life has changed since working with Lulu and I am so so so grateful.

Wonderful therapist

So patient kind and effective! Feels like a perfect match for my needs!

My first therapist at NOCD (Ross) was terrible. He shortened the therapy time and said that we needed to schedule my next session two weeks out. Not happy and disillusioned which is why I switched therapists (with whom I’m happy with now).

Lulu is incredible: she’s perfect for this work—understanding and supportive with a ton of tools! I’m motivated each week to continue with the therapy.

Lulu is amazing I really feel that she is able to make me feel safe seen and heard and also gently but easily gets me focused back to the task at hand so that we can get some real work done which is difficult for me as I tend to spin in a million directions.

I can’t say enough about LuLu Her genuine personality, knowledge of OCD AND other therapeutic forms is outstanding. I am very fortunate to have found LuLu as my therapist

Lulu is such an amazing therapist. I didn't feel seen or heard in my last NOCD experience, but Lulu is a complete 180. From my first session she really invested in getting to know me, explaining the process and my diagnosis, and also took the time to walk me through an exercise on having grace with myself as I navigate OCD and ERP. Even her tone is soothing and calming!

Very patient and understanding wonderful listener

Lulu rocks!

Love love love Lulu—she’s awesome and I’m very hopeful!

I’m very grateful for Lulu. She has helped me get through quite a bit since we started working together. I leave our sessions feeling heard and understood. I’ve learned such valuable ERP techniques that I’ve been able to apply in my daily life. She’s very easy to talk to, nonjudgmental, and empathetic. Highly recommended!

I’m not being dramatic. Lulu Safki and ERP has saved my life. There were dark moments when I didn’t want to live anymore because the OCD voices were too much to bear. It was nonstop, 24/7, invasive thoughts that left me anxious, spiraling daily, depressed. I’ve been working consistently with Lulu since end of Sept 2022 where I saw her twice a week, every week. Since last month I have tapered to just once a week every week because I started noticing change. Lulu has this balance of compassion, kindness, humor and thoughtfulness that works well for me. She also is able to take the thoughts in my head and translate them into something I can fully grasp and understand….I’ve had so many “a-ha!!” moments with Lulu. She’s given me this lens to see things in a whole new light. With Lulu, we’ve also uncovered different OCD themes I have been subconsciously dealing with. Never have I ever experienced therapy quite like this. Stay consistent, do the work. OCD never fully goes away but with ERP and a good therapist you’ll find a way to live fully and lean into uncertainty even when it’s scary.

Lulu is amazing!

I feel that Lulu truly understands what I’m going through and offers incredibly insightful and nuanced guidance. She holds me accountable while allowing space for me to vent about my frustrations and difficulties with this disorder. She’s also genuinely invested in my well-being and is happy to celebrate my little wins. It’s amazing to see tangible improvements and feel like OCD’s grasp on my life is loosening….I wholeheartedly believe that I wouldn’t have made this much progress if not for Lulu’s compassionate wisdom. I’m so grateful to have her as an ally!

I feel so safe, heard and really enjoy all my sessions with Lulu. She is truly amazing and I have made so much progress since we first started working together. Can’t praise her enough!!

Words can not express how much my therapist (Lulu) has supported me and how grateful I am to have found her. Lulu's therapeutic and humanistic approach is all encompassing. Lulu's knowledge of OCD treatment is extremely visible and what makes Lulu's therapeutic practice great is her ability to adjust to patients needs.

Lulu really 'sees' me

I love working with Lulu! She’s an amazing therapist and I come away from each session feeling heard. Each session is very productive and I appreciate her empathy.
