What Members are saying about NOCD

I've struggled with OCD for 30 years and never knew!! I always behaved differently or had these intrusive thoughts that I thought everyone else had. After becoming pregnant, I felt so out of control mentally. A friend recommended calling NOCD and I'm so glad I did. I began working with Monica after being diagnosed with OCD. It was really hard for me to open up about this but Monica immediately created a safe space for me. We eased into ERP and it was incredibly scary but so powerful to be able to learn how to take back my life from the grips of OCD. Monica has changed my life, as much as she reminds me I am also putting the work in, I wouldn't be where I am now without her. For the first time in my life I can think clearly, I'm not worried about things I can't control, and if I am, I use my response preventions she taught me. We always start off our sessions with a check up of how I'm feeling and if I have something unrelated or related to my OCD we process it prior to beginning ERP. I can't say enough great things about Monica. She is so kind, empathetic and supportive. She's helping me live my life freely and I am so grateful for her. It takes time and work to get here, but nothing worthwhile is easy. I went from being scared of therapy and my OCD to tackling it head on and enjoying life in the moment. Anything is possible.

She is great !!!!

Joanna Flemister is just top notch. She helped me to see the root of my OCD thoughts. She gave me good ways to practice dealing with them in a healthy way. I’ve never had a disappointing session with her.

Chris is amazing. He has a really compassionate view of treating OCD and expertly applies ERP.

Mena is by far the best therapist I’ve ever had. It’s easy to tell that she’s passionate about what she does.

I can’t say enough good things about Casey. When I started working with her I was really struggling and I didn’t see it getting better. But she makes me do the work and brings me back into focus when I start spinning. And holds me accountable and I really respect her for that. Casey truly cares about helping me and listening without judgement. And thats the biggest thing for me, someone who actually listens and you can tell they care. This isn’t just a job for her, she gets excited with me when I have wins and show progress. And she has OCD so she has the street credit and knows what I’m going through. To find an expert who can talk the talk because she’s walked that walk is priceless. I’m fortunate to have Casey walking with me on my OCD recovery.

Tammy Fagan is my superhero! I’ve been in and out of therapy since I was 7 years old and Tammy is everything I’ve ever needed in a therapist. I was *terrified* to try ERP again after a bad experience with a former therapist, but Tammy’s guidance helped give me the confidence I needed to tackle exposures and use what I learned from her in real life situations. NOCD is without a doubt the best place to go if you suffer from OCD!

Avarina is awesome !! She allowed me to find the joy and greatness in therapy again. Unfortunately I had to stop working with her due to my new work schedule, but she is such a gem. I enjoyed our weekly chats, and she really is such an amazing therapist. She makes you feel great about your journey. Definitely impacted my life in a positive way.

Helped bring me from almost failing college to now having a full time job chasing my dreams :)

It was a just a pre-planned, half-hour check-in that was very good :)

Vic is an attentive and kind therapist, with years worth of experience. I feel like I’ve gone far in my ERP journey because of him. So grateful to have Vic as my provider!

Great. It’s so refreshing to find the right therapist!

The therapists on here are fine, but if NOCD wants to be the go-to platform for treating OCD, they need to take a more holistic approach, including the incorporation of supplements, TMS, microbiome tests, etc. At this point, the therapists don't seem interested in doing this at all. The main issue with CBT is that it addresses the SYMPTOMS of OCD and not the ROOT CAUSE. Sure, patients might get more comfortable with handling uncertainty, but the degree of relapse is high when under stress since this type of therapy only addresses the symptoms. If NOCD doesn't train its therapists to take a more holistic approach to addressing this horrible mental illness, they will not and can not become the go-to place for treating OCD, no matter how much money they pour into it. Period.

I have been struggling with contamination OCD for 5 years now and only recently started with Cher Alter at NOCD. This is the first time in the 5 years that I have felt like I finally met a therapist that I am truly comfortable with, and that I feel can help me. Cher's knowledge of OCD and method of ERP has helped me see progress in just a month, progress that even my family has noticed. I look forward to seeing how much more I progress over time with Cher. Highly recommend!

My experience with Anna has been really amazing!! I really felt like she understood my ocd and the extent of how it impacts my life, something that I’ve struggled to find in other professionals. She is very motivating, empathetic, and overall just a wonderful therapist :)

I really appreciated Ms Lisa’s friendliness. I felt we had good rapport and she was also very gentle and considerate when it came to diagnosing me.

I have had an amazing experience with NOCD. I have changed for the better since starting with my therapist, Austin Daron, earlier this year. He taught me so much about myself and showed me how much my OCD was affecting my life when I couldn’t see that for myself. Our sessions and my work with ERP helped me learn what OCD is at its core, identify my compulsions, how to prevent them, and ultimately how to expose my self and tackle my obsessions that controlled my life. Even after a few short months of ERP my life has changed drastically. I am very proud of myself and very thankful to NOCD and my therapist Austin Daron. I would highly recommend the program to anyone who struggles with OCD!

Erika is the best. She’s helped me through a ton of different obsessive and compulsive thoughts and gives me a ton of exposures I can practice.

I have struggled with ocd specifically ROCD for 4 years before meeting Jenna and was seeing another therpist for 2 years before that, i thought my ocd was true and there was nothing i could do about it until i made an appt with Jenna. she is TRULY amazing! i cant thank her enough! she has changed my life. She is comforting to talk to, she listens and actually understands you. She never makes me feel alone. She is truthful and makes me feel safe talking about anything. She is personalable and super kind. i cant put into words how amazing and helpful she really is, she always tells me how great im doing, but its thanks to her!!!! ive only been in therapy for a couple months and i wouldnt be doing so well without her and what she has helped me with. I never thought i could actually be happy, but i am!

Ashley Huffstatler is amazing. She's an active listener with an enormous amount of empathy. Talking to her feels like I'm talking to a friend. She's very kind and exceedingly patient. I'm lucky to have her as my therapist. She's just wonderful!
