My son has been in treatment through NOCD for an acute and debilitating episode of OCD. The work he’s done with his therapist over the months has been nothing short of transformational. I would even call it life-saving because without this nuanced, deep and effective work, my son simply would not be able to live the life he has worked so hard for as an athlete and as an artist. I also want to note that he is on the spectrum and that his therapist has been brilliant working with the duality of someone on the spectrum who is also suffering with OCD. Both of us sing the praises of NOCD far and wide and I’ve referred numerous people. Note: a key part of the reason that therapy has been so successful is that my son has been so committed and disciplined and working with his therapist and following their treatment plan. It’s been teamwork every step of the way- including me learning how to effectively handle his OCD since I was in advertently strengthening it through reassurances and walking on eggshells so not to disrupt his compulsions. It’s been a lot of hard work and a true team effort but I know that this treatment is not only giving him freedom from his OCD but helpIng to pave a stronger foundation for him in many ways in his life going forward. The icing on the cake is that insurance covers the treatment. Prior to finding NOCD I was unable to afford any OCD treatment for my son because it was so expensive. I am eternally grateful.
