About

You're in the right place to get OCD treatment. I'm a versatile clinician who will meet you where you're at, highlight your strengths, and utilize ERP (Exposure and Response Prevention) to improve your functioning. The most gratifying part of my job is when a member is able to improve their daily experience and take steps toward living a meaningful life, according to their values. My other areas of professional focus include ADHD, anxiety disorders, depression, and parenting support.

I’ve been in and out of talk therapy for a decade and had several negative experiences. I’ve been dealing with anxiety and intrusive thoughts since I was a teenager, but was too scared to ever share them with a therapist. About a year ago, as I approached my wedding, I knew I didn’t want to start the next stage of my life carrying this much pain and anxiety. My psychiatrist referred me to NOCD and everything changed. I’ve been working with my therapist Irmgard Aidoo since September 2024 and she has been a wonderful influence on my recovery. She is consistent, receptive, and encouraging. I have been able to be honest and open about my intrusive thoughts because I felt safe and supported in my sessions. Most importantly, Irmgard has worked with me on self compassion and introduced me to meditation, which has dramatically improved my quality of life. I was so skeptical when my psychiatrist referred me to NOCD. I thought ERP would never work. I didn’t think I was “OCD enough.” I was wrong - and I’m glad I was. I’m living my life sober and safely off my anxiety medication I depended on for years. I still have a ways to go, but I’m grateful to have found NOCD.

I feel so lucky to have found my therapist and NOCD! I ignored my OCD symptoms for years because of shame but that shame evaporates every time I go into session with my therapist Irmgard. From our first session she immediately made me feel seen and comfortable which allowed me to start unwinding my OCD/BFRB. After a few months I feel like an entirely different person. I highly recommend the NOCD program and Irmgard as a therapist!

Irmgard is very kind and knowledgeable. She is very patient and understanding but also knows where to push you out of your comfort zone towards progress. I was able to take the skills she taught me and reduce my symptoms to a point where I never thought they’d be. I highly recommend her!

I have been in therapy for a few months now and I have seen some positive progress. I have noticed as time has gone on there has been a lot of improvements with my compulsions and obsessions as well as my overall sense of wellbeing. I really could not reccommend my therapist enough.

My words may fall short when trying to encapsulate just how incredible NOCD and Irmgard, specifically, have been for my therapy / healing journey. When I found NOCD through google search 5 months ago I was at my breaking point trying to find a company / therapist that was the right fit and truly dedicated and passionate about the success of their patients. Needless to say, NOCD was my saving grace in a very dark, troublesome time. From the promptness in scheduling consultations, to matching me with a therapist that matched my needs, to finding comfort and connection with Irmgard, and then eventually curating a detailed and intentional plan to help improve my quality of life - I have truly had such an empowering and successful experience. I really appreciate how plan - oriented the structure of the company is and how there are goals set and worked toward rather than just basic "talk therapy." Outside of the company and it's plan for it's patients, I owe so much of my success to my therapist, Irmgard. She is warm, welcoming, and extremely passionate about my healing journey. She truly makes a strong effort to make sure that I know she cares and is invested, and also takes time to remind and congratulate me on how far I have come. I could not have made it through these past couple of months without her and I feel incredibly fortunate to have been matched with her.
