Madina Alam

Madina is a phenomenal therapist! I recently finished my discharge session, and I can say, without a doubt, that working with Madina has drastically improved my quality of life! I have become more comfortable with uncertainty, imperfection, and the unknown. She pushed me outside my comfort zone, which is exactly what I needed!

I started therapy about 3 months ago, and it's definitely been a rough ride. However, I finally feel like I'm learning to live with my OCD thanks to Madina.

Madina is amazing. I will say she is very direct, yet she’s also very compassionate and supportive. She challenges me and the way that I think. Her boldness helps me to continue to bold in facing OCD. I can tell she sincerely wants the best for me. We work together as a team. At the end of each session she has me to reflect on what I’ve learned and how I can continue to apply it. It’s amazing how much you can take away from a session. Thankful that she’s my therapist!

The chokehold that OCD used to have on me is nothing like it is today. I still experience discomfort, intrusive thoughts/feelings, but I have the confidence that I can handle whatever junk my brain throws at me. I’ve learned so much about the disorder and how it operates that I’m able to recognize when it’s being sneaky again. My therapist, Madina Alam, has truly equipped me with all the tools I need to live my life to the fullest without giving much energy or attention to OCD. Thank you Madina and thank you NOCD! ❤️

Being placed with Madina and experiencing her treatment style has made the leap it took to face my OCD and seek help feel worth it. She is uniquely talented at what she does and always finds a way to guide me towards long-term growth and healing over temporary reassurance. Madina's ability to accurately assess, remain flexible, and orient us towards the most productive path forward is inspiring to witness. With her in my corner, I've begun to build confidence to move through the fear and anxieties of life that OCD had convinced me were insurmountable. Madina is a shining example of what it means to truly care for, believe in, and nurture a person's belief in themselves. There's never been a moment where I've felt pushed beyond my limits or spoken down to, she remains respectful and encouraging through every moment of ERP without ever compromising on my long-term progress. Since working with her, I find myself sharing little tidbits from our sessions with my loved ones. My favorite reaction was too good not to share and inspired this review. "Wow, that is like, real therapy, I've been looking for that for so long." If you're looking for the same, you'll find it with Madina. Couldn't recommend her more!

Madina has been an excellent therapist throughout my ERP journey and was instrumental in removing OCD's hold over my life. An invaluable and supportive partner.

Madina is an incredibly talented therapist. Right from the beginning when I found her on NOCD, she has been warm, understanding, compassionate, and informative. She truly understands how OCD works and all the nuances that come along with the disorder. She holds me accountable and brings attention to areas where I may need to give more attention/practice. She's changed the trajectory of my life and I'm thankful everyday I have her as my therapist.

Madina spoke with both my wife and I and gave us concrete homework for my OCD, as always very helpful and encouraging

Simply amazing. I wouldn’t be Where I am today without NOCD. 🙏❤️

I’ve been working with NOCD for a little over a year now and my therapist Madina has been amazing! She really taught me that I can trust myself and that I have the strength to do the work. I’m now in recovery. I do take Zoloft and that helps too. When I started at NOCD, I was at rock bottom. I used to meet with Madina twice a week now I only have to see her every five weeks. My symptoms have improved so much and I feel more hopeful and excited for life than I have in three years!

I realized I had OCD in 2019 after I fell in love for the first time . I realized for my whole life I was lead by anxiety and thought I was a bad person , I reached out to a crisis hotline for help often and they told me about NOCD . I was very nervous that I would be exposed as a bad person but I worked with Madina for 8 weeks and it was a wonderful and educational experience . 2 years later I am living as myself and balancing my mental health , personal life , and professional life very well and I could not be more thankful . I will always be an advocate for OCD and I am so thankful to Madina and all of NOCD for their help .

I've been in talk therapy on and off for a decade (never dxd with OCD til recently). This has had more of an affect on my day-to-day happiness and mood than anything else I've done. It is hard at first but it's truly worth it. And my therapist is lovely.

Money well spent. I wouldn’t be where I am today without NOCD!!!! Thank You!!!

Madina is good at reminding me what I alrady know to be true, but sometimes don't want to! Sitting with the anxiety, not searching for certainty, not "responding" to emotions, etc.

Words can never describe how grateful I am for helping find the light in this h journey. Thank You 🙏❤️❤️😂

Thank you 🙏 for helping me get my life back on track ❤️☺️

As always, Madina does a great job at providing practical, meaningful support and answers all my questions, never feels rushed. Great therapist.

I’m would not be here had I not found NOCD
