About

My approach to OCD is to first help members loosen the grip that OCD has on their sense of self so we can get to work using ERP. I went to art school and I am also a big nerd, so I tend to use lots of metaphors and fandoms in therapy. I love to work with young adults!

OCD therapy is wonderfully effective when done with attention to careful collaboration and creative discussion.

Get to know Sarah Harbin

I became a therapist after my own journey through GAD and experiencing the relief that came with working with a therapist.

After working with several clients who were living with OCD, I became interested in behavioral techniques that could help dismantle the impact of OCD on people’s lives.

I also work with LGBTQ+ individuals as well as those with anxiety and panic disorders, ADHD, and ASD. I have extensive lived and learned experience in these areas and have found that people are often misdiagnosed or misunderstood as they seek care for some of their toughest symptoms.

Your experience is probably way more common and treatable than you think. ERP is a wonderfully effective therapy when done with attention to careful collaboration and creative discussion.

Remember that I've faced obsessions and compulsions as part of my own diagnosis, and although my experience is different from yours, I know it's not easy to talk about intrusive thoughts. I work from a non-judgmental and compassionate perspective.

Sarah was a brilliant therapist. She really helped me get to the core of my ocd and I leave therapy with her feeling confident that I can keep on top of this. Thank you!

I felt understood. It felt good to discuss my issues but also hard to gauge after one session. I didn’t get too much help in terms of reassurance or being able to manage my condition and tips to help until next session, but I understand this is the way treatment works. The session was mostly me introducing myself and my troubles and discussion of the probable most effective form of treatment. She seemed to listen to me and feel what I was going through, although she would not share her thoughts or opinions on what I told her or my presumed diagnosis. I am sure this is on purpose so she can develop an effective treatment plan for my condition. Needed just a little more time but I understand she is VERY busy! I look forward to our next session and getting better!

I am so grateful for NOCD for pairing me with Sarah! The last two months have been so great - if anyone is scared about opening up about their theme, I feel so comfortable and safe to talk about everything I am struggling with. I’ve had a lot of external therapists previously and I’ve never had a proper relationship with them but I actually enjoy talking to Sarah and look forward to our calls, not scared. She’s insightful, helpful and thoughtful. I feel like I’m chatting to a “friend” not a professional. I 1000000% would recommend Sarah, especially if u feel scared to talk about your taboo thoughts. She remembers previous information and helps you learn about yourself and appreciate all your self development and progress!
