About
As a therapist, I start with empowerment. I'll start by finding out what your strengths are and how you approach life. We'll take that and empower you to use your strength. Coming from a position of strength allows you to do the hard part of ERP. A fun fact about me: I've lived all around. I was born in Idaho, moved to Alberta, Canada, and Hershey, Pennsylvania, and now I find myself in Raleigh, North Carolina.
OCD therapy works because it changes the way you're going through life. With OCD, you go through life on the defensive. You're backing away, trying to hide from everything. You can't live a life that is fulfilling. So we have to change the direction: we have to get on the offense.

Judy helped me understand how to do ERP. I did it washing a dish.
This was the second time I've really done erp washing a dish. I understood better this time how it works. It was hard, but it took me less time to wash the pan than I usually do. Judy is excellent at what she does as a counselor and a coach.

Judy is upbeat and positive and believes that I can beat this OCD! I feel so heard and understood and I leave the session feeling hopeful! I have learned so much from Judy in my first three sessions! She has given me tools and is teaching me how to use the tools in order to overcome OCD and religious scrupulosity.

Judy is not just a therapist but an advocate for all individuals affected by OCD. She has helped me and those around me to understand the disorder. Because of that, we now know that I am a blessing and not a liability to my family. Thank you for helping me see the good in me!!

I enjoyed talking to Judy. She explains things in a way that's easy to understand. I think she is going to be able to help me at least minimize OCD symptoms. I think she is a good fit for me. She's a good listener.

Judy is wonderful! I love how she shares my same faith in Jesus and she is so knowledgeable with my OCD struggles! I love how upbeat she is and she is so helpful! This was my second session with her and I have already learned so much and she has already given me tools to help combat OCD! I have struggled with OCD most of my life. I like how she believes in me and knows with God’s help and her guidance that I can overcome this!

Therapy with Judy is almost always more helpful than I expect it to be, even far along in my journey when I think I finally understand myself and OCD. I always learn something new and empowering.

I’m doing well but sometimes OCD uses those “back door” tricks. My conversation with Judy was right on time to help me recognize that. Thank you!

I was so scared to start therapy. And for the first several weeks, I'd get extremely anxious before each session. But I'm actually starting to look forward to my sessions now because Judy is helping me learn about myself & my ocd in these really unexpected and helpful ways, and I also just like her. Feels really good to be making progress and forming a trusting relationship through therapy. (I only reread this once, Judy!)

Judy was truly incredible. She knows so much about OCD and explains it in a way that you can understand. I felt so comfortable talking about my thoughts with her right from the get-go and she made me feel normal and heard and gave me hope for the first time in so long! I’m kicking myself for the fact that I waited six years to get the right help

Judy was very knowledgeable and professional and so patient through my technical difficulties (a storm hit just as our session was starting and we lost power). Instead of rescheduling, she waited around till I had slowly downloaded zoom into my phone and fixed my audio issues and then stayed on with my an extra half hour past our scheduled time. Appreciate her patience and kindness.

Even though it was my first session with Judy she made me feel encouraged, heard, and like she genuinely cared about me and helping me with my lifelong battle of ocd. I truly feel like she is a gift from God and an answer to many prayers of someone who not only has the knowledge and desire to help me but also a similar heart. I am excited and hopeful to continue working with her!

NOCD and my therapist Judy have served as an answer to many years of prayer. My compulsions are mostly mental, which made them difficult for me
to “catch” in daily life. Judy and NOCD have helped find my way out of the darkest time in my life, and they’ve helped me face the present with peace. They have gone ABOVE and BEYOND to help me get my life back, which is positively affecting my family and others around me. Judy cares about her patients and wants the world to understand and fairly treat people with OCD. Thank you!!! Thank the Lord!

I started therapy feeling like a slave to my OCD. Judy Lair is literally a miracle worker because I now have taken the drivers seat in my life. I know the feeling of being all alone with your thoughts and thinking you’re “crazy.” She has helped me to understand OCD as well as manage it. The sooner you get therapy, the sooner you aren’t in OCD’s shackles. Judy is an absolute godsend who truly loves helping people with OCD and is so talented in her work.
