She’s amazing. I feel very listened to and understood. I know when I am having a hard time that I can confide in Stephanie and book a sooner appointment. My OCD has been so manageable since seeing her, I never thought that was even possible.

Stephanie is really kind, personable, and encourages me to challenge myself with exposures without being aggressive or cold about it. Even when I leave sessions feeling an appropriate amount of anxiety relative to ERP exercises, I also find myself feeling somehow more joyful and uplifted as well. I never feel that I am working with a therapist who is simply following a basic formula for how ERP therapy should be, but instead feel that I am working with one who is sensitive and empathetic while being equally as professional. I also feel particularly confident in the way my recent sessions have been navigated, and our plan for the weeks ahead, as I prepare to face some major blocks that have set me back over the years. While I am so anxious about them, it's the kind of anticipation that indicates more reasons for me to feel hopeful. Hopeful that I may actually be able feel fear and simultaneously work through it.

I really appreciate having Stephanie as my therapist. She is supportive, gentle yet direct and honest, personable yet so ethically professional, and I can tell that her priority in session is to work with me to find a solution on how best to support and enhance my progress with ERP therapy. After our session today I felt even more hopeful about the progress she can help me make this Autumn. I'm glad she is my ERP therapist.

I was very pleasantly surprised with our session. I did not expect it to be as effective at first but it really helped me address and face the fear. She does an amazing job of pointing out the things I might not realize I am even doing. I look forward to more exercises

During the pandemic, I fell into a debilitating spiral of panic and depression. I had no idea that this was the result of 20 years of untreated OCD (I'm 27 now). It had been controlling me like a puppet, all coming to a head due to a traumatic experience that caused me to doubt my own sanity. I could hardly eat or drink, I couldn't drive, I could barely talk to others or leave my house. Every moment of every day for nearly 2 years crushed me with neverending doubt until I grew hopeless. I found NOCD through the IOCDF and was so desperate for a way to keep living that I knew I had to try. I'm so grateful that I did. The process into treatment was terrifying because it was new and uncertain, but the crew that assisted me was so kind and patient. My therapist has been equally wonderful, helping me deconstruct my lifelong patterns that have been perpetuating my OCD. ERP is absolutely daunting, but the more I committed myself to the process, the more I began to change externally through my actions, and then my internal landscape began to transform, too. I wasn't as afraid of feeling helpless, of being rejected, or of losing my sanity. As I opened myself up to possibility, I began to realize that just because my thoughts and feelings told me something didn't mean it was true or even worthwhile to engage with. Doubt is difficult, but as I let go of engagement with it/taking it so seriously, I found that I more room to decide what values I held or wanted to have (like athleticism, creativity, and family), how I could align them in my life, and how I could move forward toward peace and joy. It's been 8 months now and I'm not completely free of OCD, but I can accept that, and the process of practicing and learning to accept has actually transformed my life in so many positive, wonderful ways. I'm driving again, going to places on my own, enjoying authentic connections with loved ones and strangers. I'm kinder to myself and to others. I'm more present and accept depersonalization. I accept that OCD can come in and knock me over while I choose to focus on doing the things I enjoy, even when OCD causes me to doubt. I do things regardless of how I feel and always come out on the other end feeling stronger and more interested in these new experiences. I can accept intrusive thoughts/feelings of ideation and of harming others, of the possibilities that I might cause something devastating to happen. I can take life day by day if I need to, leaning back on so many tools and skills I've put the work into developing for the days that are hard and scary. I know that, no matter how long the storm lasts, I can find the thread back to living with gratitude and joy. If it wasn't for my therapist and the community I've built through NOCD, I'm not sure that I would have had the strength or courage to do this on my own. I think I would have kept running in circles with it, unknowingly causing my own suffering. I also don't think I would have made such peace with this part of me with such compassion for myself. Without NOCD, I honestly believe that my life would feel even more confusing and hopeless. Recovery is so possible and I don't have the words to express how worthwhile it is. NOCD honestly saved my life and helped me take back the power over my life. OCD will likely always be a part of me, but it's just a tenant in the building that is Nicole. It doesn't decide what I should do with my time, effort, and love. I DO.
