In OCD therapy, I believe it's important to emphasize collaboration, empathy, and compassion. I always try to strike a balance between the evidence-supported implementation of Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) and being an authentic human who's helping you along a difficult path. Changing what we do takes time and effort. But OCD symptoms can improve drastically with ERP treatment, and there's something so amazing about that. My other areas of professional focus include anxiety, depression, post-traumatic stress disorder, and personality disorders.

Good experience

Eric Ballein is a very professional and knowledgeable provider. I had undergone therapy with Eric for a little under 6 months and saw drastic changes in my thought patterns, mood, and tool kit very quickly. I am very sad to see Eric leave NOCD (due to another job opportunity), but feel so blessed to have had him as my mentor through my ERP journey. I now feel more empowered than ever and am finally living life again!
