What an amazing experience with Aura! I feel so grateful to have been paired with someone who not only helps you understand the nature of OCD & the tools to manage compulsions, but she always shared her calm confidence. To say it’s been helpful to have someone hold my hand through the process & patiently listen about my life is an understatement. Always professional & down to earth, Aura really played a pivotal role in my recovery. Now i get to practice more management on my own & hold my own hand & so far, so good. I highly reccommend anyone giving ERP a try with a well-trained therapist on the NOCD platform because it can change your life for the better. Thank you again to the NOCD team! -Shannon

I wasn’t sure I was ever going to find the right therapist for OCD until I met Aura Restrepo! She’s patient, non-judgemental and very knowledgeable. Every session she has an action plan for me and also homework that helped me tackle my fears. I had so much shame which caused me to not seek help for years and now when I look back at my past self I can see how much improvement I made. Definitely recommend Aura as a therapist and so happy that NOCD exists!
