Licensed Therapist, M.Ed., LPC

About

My approach to OCD therapy is person-centered. I work to build a therapeutic alliance and create a safe environment where you can share, without judgment, what brings you to NOCD. When I'm not working, I enjoy being active, whether it’s outside in nature or at the gym. I also love spending time with my significant other and our three pets, eating great food, and being cozy at home with some movies or shows.

Get to know Toni Sands

We all have the right to be seen and find healing. I experienced a life event that led me to seek support. Therapy changed my life, and I wanted to provide the same support I was given. Plus, I've always found people to be fascinating. I'm grateful to be allowed the space to be with others that are in need.

I understand the severity of OCD and have always found it fascinating. I'm also excited to practice such an effective form of treatment within a specific niche. I enjoy the diversity of the people I have the pleasure of working with and supporting them in reclaiming the life they want to live.

I am always interested in trauma. Like trauma, OCD can be very painful to live with and isolating for the person suffering. I appreciate the way that life can be so dramatically affected when struggling and how isolating it can feel. I believe healing is possible. People deserve to find relief from their distress.

Making an appointment to begin is an incredibly powerful step.

I understand. Fear is common when trying something new. However, please know that creating a safe space for you is my priority. To find healing, therapy is a collaborative process that requires active participation from you. Being transparent about your thoughts and feelings is important for therapy to work more effectively.

Toni is literally helping to save my life and my future wellbeing. She is an amazing listener and incredibly smart and deserves whatever pay raise you can afford to give her (in my opinion). The world needs more people like Toni, and while my work isn’t done yet, I’m confident in her ability to help me get to where I want to be

I'm so grateful I was paired with Toni. She is so cool, loving, fun, welcoming, and professional. She held impeccable space for me. She was kind and challenged me to face my OCD head on. I have learned skills from her that will help me for the rest of my life. WORK WITH TONI! She's amazing and so good at what she does.

My therapist is very sweet and calming when I am going through a hard time. She's willing to listen and work with me and is very accepting of my sexuality and spiritual practices.

I used every "stress management" technique I knew to curb the intrusive thought and the gripping, overwhelming anxiety. When I realized that I could not meditate enough...I could not exercise enough...I could not journal enough... That's when I finally surrendered to help and found NOCD. I am so grateful to NOCD and my therapist. Thanks to therapy, homework, the app, videos, support groups, etc., I am learning so much about myself and gaining skills to combat my OCD. It really is an amazing space with so much info and support. I am beyond grateful for it.
