My approach to treating OCD is slow and steady, aiming for consistent, lasting progress. I like to meet people where they're at and focus on gradually increasing comfort. OCD therapy may feel hard sometimes. But if life were easy right now, you wouldn't be here. The most gratifying part of my job is seeing people achieve difficult goals. I also specialize in treating OCD, ADHD, anxiety, and depression, and I work well with people who are neurodivergent.

Why our members love working with Isabel
J.P.
Good experienceI’ve been working with her for 2 years now. The way she remembers the tiniest details about me - makes me feel so seen and heard. Literally went through the rollercoaster of life with her. Found me at my bottom and slowly has turned me into someone who will not go back to that dark place. I’m so grateful to have met her
J.W.
Good experienceShe is so funny! Remembers a lot, takes great notes to summarize the main points of my long rants, and she gently nudges me to do my exposures sometimes with sarcasm I know is for the best. I talk about her to my friends and everyone agrees she’s the best therapist I’ve ever had. So grateful for the changes I’ve made in my life due to NOCD and I am excited (and very nervous) for future exposures I’ll learn to overcome as well.
M.S.
Good experienceMs. McLaughlin listens, takes notes on things that I share and then responds after she permits me time to express myself. This has been extremely helpful and aids in my success.
