What Members are saying about NOCD

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!

Lisa is an amazing therapist and I can't thank her enough! I started with NOCD in September 2023 having dealt with OCD for many years, but I was undiagnosed without any clue about what intrusive thoughts were. Since the beginning Lisa has been, and continues to be, an amazing support and guide to help me through this difficult process. Lisa has talked me through each step of my ERP journey and has taken the time to listen to me as I explain my thoughts and feelings in each session we have. I never thought I'd get to where I am now and I highly recommend taking the leap to seek help, as the hard work has been so worth it!

Monique always has the tools and advice needed even when things are really bad with OCD. She is helpful beyond measure!

I’m so much better since my sessions with Jeff. I feel more peace of mind. It’s very helpful he is also a Christian!!

Ashley has been really great in guiding me through ERP. It isn’t easy, and I first I was hurt but the rigidity of it. But I realize Ashely was just doing what she needed to do to give me the tools to not make my OCD worse. She’s very good!

I've been ruminating lately about relationship loss. Let me see if I can recall---first, I need to recognize that I'm doing it.second, I need to realize that rumination isn't serving me. It's feeding the OCD. Then, I need to redirect to a value driven activity but make sure that I am not being distracted. I can sit with the discomfort. RRRD for fighting OCD rumination. Then, CBT to attack my cognitive distortions regarding my fears and future relationships. Recognize those distorted thoughts. Counter them or examine the evidence. It went well. Pamela is such a wealth of information.

Dominique has taught me so many tools/techniques to battle my anxiety and OCD and I am eternally grateful. I have really improved in my ability to cope with my anxiety and I never been more confident that I will be okay.. I’m beyond thankful for NOCD and Dominique!! I appreciate all the work we’ve put in together, and would highly recommend ERP therapy to anyone struggling.

Kaitlin is truly an amazing counselor! She really takes the time to hear all your thoughts and feelings, checks back in on things discussed at previous sessions, and goes above and beyond to reach out and check in or give support even outside of the sessions. She relates to you but doesn’t make the conversation about herself. She works with you to find exposures that really fit what you’re dealing with, not just “textbook” exposures. You can tell she is genuine in how she listens, responds and cares while also encouraging you to overcome your OCD. She’s mindful of time but never rushes things. She brings a calm and confident demeanor to sessions that leave you feeling the same. She always wraps up sessions by reviewing what was discussed and the plan until the next session and ensures you feel settled before ending the session. I’m so very thankful for Kaitlin!
