Why our members love working with Virginia
L.S.
My mom said I am lucky to have someone help me with my triggers from the past.
L.S.
After an uncomfortable thought, it makes me feel better when I write down the five senses.
T.J.
Virginia is very understanding and helpful when I comes to helping untangle the clutter in my brain and share with me constructive insight on ways to objectively move forward with confidence that I will be successful.
K.C.
I feel I have come so far since starting NOCD with Virginia in only my first few weeks of therapy.
T.J.
I feel Virginia listen to me and helps me understand my feelings and work through my issues practically.
S.W.
Virginia did very well at seeing me as a person while also keeping a packed intake session moving along. She took a few extra minutes at the end when I asked what I could do for aftercare, and thanked me for advocating for myself.
A.F.
