One of my loved ones has severe OCD. I understand your struggles. I like to make each NOCD member the center of our work. I'm here to provide tools and encourage each member to find their inner strength to accept the uncertainties of life. ERP (Exposure and Response Prevention) is really hard work. But everyone who's stayed committed to doing the work finds success in overcoming OCD. It is life-changing! Beyond OCD, I specialize in treating body-focused repetitive behaviors (BFRBs), anxiety, and depression.

C.F.
Wonderful first session with Sydney! Thank you!! We feel hopeful and encouraged.
M.B.
I feel very comfortable with Sydney Johnston, LPCC. I feel she is helping me deal with my issues. She is helping me "peel back" the layers of intricate mental scaring that has manifested itself as OCD's. She is very pleasant and approachable. I look forward to my sessions with her. I have NEVER had any therapist that helps me to see the potential resolve while dealing with my "issue". She does not make me feel different for having to deal with odd impulses. Sydney is great! Thank you for having her on your "team".
