The biggest challenges offer the greatest rewards. Although you'll be doing important and difficult work in OCD therapy, you will not be alone. I offer a safe space with no judgment and no discrimination. First, I'll identify and isolate your unwanted behaviors, vulnerabilities, and triggers. Then I'll help you navigate those vulnerabilities and triggers through systematic, incremental exposure. I have noticed OCD traits in my own life. I have experience treating schizophrenia, autism, depression, generalized and social anxiety, and borderline personality disorder.

Why our members love working with Adam
H.D.
Honestly the way he approaches you is amazing. I was really struggling at the beginning and after our first session I was immediately comfortable with him and willingly to work with him on my OCD which I had not been willing to do before on my own. He was very helpful at getting me to do ERP and help me stay calm and it was especially difficult at the the start for me as it was a hard time in my life but he was right next to me encouraging me to keep going and giving me helpful advice. Safe to say within a month I was doing significantly better from being barely able to get out of bed to being able to do almost whatever I want. And now a year later I’m still doing much better and have found ways to incorporate the ERP he taught me to use into my everyday life to make sure I stay on top of my OCD. I could not recommend him enough, truly changed my life.
S.S.
it was good! my exposures didn’t give the effects i wanted them to but the rest of the session was good! i like how Adam ties in Biblical principle to season sometimes, it makes me more comfortable and helps me understand things.

Adam is an awesome therapist and helped reduce my OCD symptoms tremendously. I would highly recommend him as a therapist!
D.D.
Adam is an answer to prayer for our family. He goes above and beyond to connect with our 9 year old son and motivate him to overcome some difficult and debilitating obsessions, compulsions, and negative thinking loops. Adam is a lot of fun, genuine, caring and so knowledgeable and supportive. We love the added text support for those crisis days too! We are so incredibly grateful for NOCD and especially ADAM! My son thinks maybe he’s actually an angel 😇 in disguise because he finds him so helpful and a real life line as he faces new challenges that OCD tries to throw at him and the whole family 👍. Thank you Adam!!

M.B.
Adam has been walking with me since January and I am so blessed for it. He has helped me, and is always there to reply. I cannot think of anyone else I’d rather have to help me with OCD. He is funny, kind, understanding, knowledgeable and not judgmental at all. I highly recommend him to any and everyone!
J.G.
Adam is fantastic. He is such a good listener and does a great job pushing me. He allows me to get uncomfortable and to work through that discomfort. I can already see a big difference.
B.S.
I would highly recommend working with Adam. I have gained so much progress and confidence in such a short time. His understanding and navigation throughout this therapy has been of such great help.
