Thelma Rivera

Thelma is just too funny and very helpful/understanding lol!

Thelma is incredible. I can’t say enough good things about my experience with her so far.

Thelma was very friendly and validating. I really appreciate how well our first session went.

Thelma was super nice and understanding. I think this is the first therapist I’ve felt this comfortable with.

I have loved working with Thelma. I feel like she’s really helped me recognize my OCD brain and given me tools to move forward with life.

Thelma is great! She always has insights and ideas to help.

Thelma is always able to help me no matter where I am in the OCD recovery process

I am so happy I took the leap to join NOCD. I was nervous every part of the way but they have made the process easy and comfortable. I was especially nervous about my therapist but I truly lucked out and I am sure all the therapist are amazing here. I feel seen, heard, and understood which is huge when it comes to OCD. I wanted to say thank you to Thelma because she is outstanding at what she does and it’s changing my life with every meeting we have!

OK so I've suspected I had OCD for a number of years, but hadn't really done much about it other than reading a few books. My primary OCD types are "Just Right," Scrupulosity, and Relationship OCD, all with mostly mental compulsions like rumination. At a low point in my relationship with my wife, I decided that if I didn't do something about it, the trajectory of my life was not going to go the way I would like. I was resistant to NOCD at first because I wanted to do in-person therapy. I couldn't really find any OCD specific therapists that were available in person locally, so I bit the bullet and did NOCD. Well what can I say? It really changed my outlook on life for the better. I would say I am still in recovery (and likely always will be, this is no cure) but meaningful results happened for me really quickly. I had a new lease on life and felt more in control in a matter of about 2 weeks. If you've been struggling for a long time, you owe it to yourself to do something about this. NOCD therapists can both diagnose and treat, so if you don't know if what you have is OCD, they can help you with that as well. It's a really accessible way to do it.

<Name> enjoyed his session and likes this therapist.

Therapists was able to completely focus on me to find my core fear.

My son’s OCD is practically gone now!!!

Excited to start learning more and working through my issues.

Thelma continues to surprise me with her skills and finding my sneaky compulsions. She has given me permission, I didn’t know I needed, to allow myself to take space in this world and betters me with every visit. Thelma is awesome!! Thank you NOCD for making this all possible!

Just when I think I won’t make any sense to the therapist. They always come through with incredible insights and understanding and help push me in the direction (of uncertainty) I’ve so desperately been needing.

I feel a million times better than I did 6 months ago thanks to my therapist’s guidance and also feel more confident that I can maintain these new skills.
