Turns out I have been struggling with undiagnosed OCD for most of my adult life. I've been on meds, seen doctors, tried talk therapy etc. Finally - CHAT GPT of all things suggested I may have OCD and referred me here and I could not be any more thankful or pleased with the results. NOCD and ERP has changed my life. I have been so frustrated that nothing seemed to make my anxiety better - things that worked for other people made my anxiety worse. From rushing myself to the ER a few times a year, being afraid of the side effects of anti-anxiety meds, obsessing about my children's health, to disaster prepping. My mind was not my own. NOCD and their amazing team has helped me finally feel in control of my mind and life. When I say life changing, I mean it. I enjoy my time with my family again, I feel like I am no longer a captive of my thoughts or worried about the what ifs. It's still tough sometimes, overcoming OCD is journey. I still have the occasional obsessive thought and urge to seek a compulsion or reassurance, but NOCD has taught me the skills I need to combat that when it happens and be ready any time OCD rears its ugly head in the future. If you have OCD - this is truly a life changer. I cannot recommend this program enough. ERP is hard, it's uncomfortable, but stick with it, because it really works!

Although I have written a review before, this is more than a year after I have started therapy with Aaron. There have been times where I felt like I wasn't even looking at the same man in the mirror. I felt like I was going to be tormented forever. As soon as I learned about ERP, it didn't get as bad as I thought it would be. It has, in fact, enriched my life. I have been able to build my confidence, and I began to show myself some love the same way I have shown others. However, this isn't always easy to keep. There will always be forks in the road that try to slow you down. Sometimes you'll feel like you're back where you started. As long as you know what to do, and realize you are more than capable, you can never be stopped in your tracks. You can never go back to the person you were before OCD. All of this I learned from Aaron, and I have made it known to him many times before how much I truly appreciate his service, and if it weren't for people like him, then there's a chance I wouldn't be here writing this. I think I'm ready for whatever comes next.

I like how Aaron gives me the benefit of the doubt while also being upfront and personable. He has a lot of experience, knowledge and intuition to help with OCD and other struggles.

I have struggled with OCD for the majority of my life. I have tried different medications and therapies over the years. None have provided me with the lasting symptom relief I got from using ERP. My therapist, Aaron Hensley, would help put closure to an obsession when I got stuck. He would help me practice the skills in real time instead of just giving me information and telling me to practice between sessions.

Aaron is compassionate, non-judgmental and listens well while still offering pushback when I need it and that has helped me to grow.

I never would have guessed that I would have come this far this quickly. Thank you!

Although I still have a long way to go, I am very appreciative of Aaron allowing me to share what's bothering me during my bouts with OCD, and he is very supportive and informative the whole way through. These new skills are working very well, even if it might take me years to manage my OCD the best I can get it, I'm just glad Aaron is a part of that journey.

NOCD has changed my life. OCD was ruling my life and I never thought I would get relief, but here I am 6 months later, in remission and being discharged from the program! Aaron played a huge role in helping me take back my life with the constant encouragement and support. The exercises he proposed helped me tackle my worst fears and I never felt judged when I had trouble working through one. I am very grateful for his patience and expertise. He is professional, friendly, and really knows what he’s doing! Definitely a five star therapist in my book. I can’t thank him enough!

Aaron was great. Very friendly and easy to talk to. He gave me hope!

After the first session he made me feel supported and hopeful. The way he speaks to people is very kind and helpful as well. He explains things very thoroughly which is important and comforting.

Before my session with Aaron, I had been struggling to eat and honestly just function for the last few days. He let me know he will be with me every step of my journey and made me feel heard and seen. I am so appreciative of his patience and expertise.

He was great! Excited to start this journey

We think finally someone is going to help us.

Thanks Aaron! You are the best.

Aaron was attentive, asked questions and listened to everything I had to say. He was very reassuring and helpful

Aaron Hensley was wonderful and my son really enjoyed the sessions

My daughter met with Aaron Hensley via Zoom meetings for about 10 to 15 sessions. She was given the tools she very much needed to battle her OCD obsessions and fears. She feels more in control and has been educated enough to recognize irrational fears and dominating thinking as her OCD. She knows how to overcome them now.... we are thankful for NoCD.

I’m really happy with my progress. My therapist was great, and I felt like he really understood what I was feeling.

We’ve only been working with Aaron for a couple of sessions but our experience so far has been positive. My son struggles to open up in session but outside of the sessions, he is actually motivated to work on his struggles and has really been opening up about everything! It’s been great to see! I hope we can keep this momentum going!

We haven’t had many sessions yet, so I don’t have much to say about it other than we think our therapist, Aaron, is really a good fit for our son. He is really good with him. He’s been able to say the right things to him when we can’t even get him to sit in front of the computer, he comes back and finishes his sessions. Aaron is very patient and understanding.

Perfect

I actually felt better for a short period of time .

We learned a lot and look forward to implementing new ideas.

We trust that Aaron will be able to help us.

I'm very grateful to have worked with Aaron. I felt like he really understood my core fears behind my obsessions, and he chose exposures that effectively targeted these fears. ERP can be challenging, especially at the beginning. There were some moments initially where I felt hopeless, and I couldn't imagine ever being at peace with my obsession. But I gradually got better and better over the course of a few months, and I'm in remission now. Highly recommend Aaron and ERP generally

Great at communication and explaining the NOCD process.

My therapist is very thoughtful and was able to help me look at my OCD from a new and more constructive perspective. He is understanding that treating OCD causes some discomfort when stepping out of your comfort zone.

We are very grateful for Aaron. We appreciate how knowledgeable he is, how he listens, and we feel hopeful about treatment. Thank you.

Aaron was very kind and knowledgeable, and we are feeling very hopeful that we have found a treatment option that will actually work. Thank you.

Explained everything so well! Definitely listened and helped me feel like there is a path forward

He was very helpful and not judge mental. I felt like I could share everything with him

Aaron is wonderful. He listens and answers all of our questions. He is knowledgeable and compassionate.

Good session with Aaron! It is nice to be in the recovery phase of my journey and I look forward to continuing my recovery.

My minor child is the patient and as such I will answer for her on these reviews. We have a discussion after her sessions and each time there is always something new she learns. Today’s session was extremely helpful and provided her with an additional step up towards her goals. She still has a way to go but I feel her therapist has the knowledge and skills to help her get past her compulsions and not let them control her life.

So fantastic. My son had a lightbulb moment during our review of the ocd cycle. We are learning so much and feel seen and heard. Looking forward to continuing to work with Aaron!

My daughter couldn’t say how she felt but I felt confident that our therapist new exactly how to gives us answers.

Aaron has been great and has helped me manage through a lot of challenging intrusive thoughts.

Managing OCD is really tough, but Aaron has worked with me for the last few months and I am now sub clinical for OCD. Our ERP sessions have been challenging but helpful and we have worked together on coping strategies and emotional regulation

Aaron has a way with words that just land with me. Outside of just doing ERP he is extremely skilled in talk therapy dealing with trauma and depression.

Great session with Aaron tonight! Really feel like I’m making progress!

It is nice to have a therapist who is specifically trained to work with OCD. Aaron understands.

Aaron was understanding and answered all of my questions well.

Aaron is fantastic. He has helped me immensely and is very patient.

We are so thankful for Aaron and the work he has done in our, son Zach. Zach had obsessive thoughts with throwing up and a tight throat for the past 6 years. He managed it with anxiety medicine, but it never went way. In May after his last episode he started working with Aaron and was exposed to ERP therapy. Zach has learned how to face his fears and overcome them. He even has started to taper off his anxiety medicine and is taking half his dosage! Working with Aaron has changed his life because Zach has skills that he can apply and not be controlled by his thoughts. Thank you Aaron for helping Zach and our family. You have made a huge positive impact in our lives!

Aaron is like a very supportive friend at this point.. I really appreciate his help and his humor and understanding. Makes me feel heard without reassuring me.

Aaron was great. I look forward to getting to work.

Aaron is great! He is a true expert in OCD and is helping me feel seen and heard. I really appreciate the way he can communicate in a way that is helpful, calming, and educational.

I have noticed so much progress in just a couple of months. I was weary at first and worried therapy wouldn't work, but Aaron has been the most helpful person through it and it has been 100% worth the try.

My therapist is a great listener. He has a great willingness to help and is caring and professional. I am thankful I am receiving treatment and direction navigating OCD and the depression that co-exists alongside OCD.

I have noticed I've made so much progress in just a couple of months. Aaron is always approachable and knows how to do ERP in a way that works for me.

Aaron did an excellent job of listening and hearing what I was saying. He was spot on recapping my current situation.

Aaron really makes me feel seen and not crazy. Like I’m not alone. He makes me feel like a good person without giving in time my compulsion of reassurance or checking. I highly recommend him and I’m excited(albeit nervous) to start ERP but I feel like his approach is gentle.

There were multiple points wherein I wondered whether or not my therapist was actually listening to me- sometimes, it was silent for a long time after I finished speaking, and then I was only affirmed with an “ok” from him. I also noticed that there were points in which he wasn’t making eye contact with me and was actually looking at a different screen while I was talking.

Aaron is always there for me however I may need. I’m very appreciative

Never felt so heard. Aaron did a great job at listening and really getting to the root of my ocd. I’m hopeful that things are going to get better!

I felt like he understood me and I really trust that he will guide me in the right direction with therapy and healing.

Aaron is always willing to listen and really cares about his patients.

Sessions with Aaron are very insightful. He brings me back down to reality and I am optimistic in becoming a happier self.

Aaron helped clarify I was in the right place after having feelings that my prior therapist was not right for me. I am looking forward to working with him.

I had a great first session and I am excited to continue!

Not too optimistic for recovery but it’s not Aaron’s fault

I felt seen and heard, and he gently encouraged continuing with ERP while really respecting my feelings and current situation as I go through a really difficult time

Super friendly and relatable

Aaron helped Zach with his first exposure session. As Zach's mom, I looking forward to Zach's growth with the ERP.

my therapist is great and takes the time with me, i’ve never had any in depth therapy for OCD but i’m so glad i found it!
